Kripalu Yoga: From the Ground Up

What Students say: "I really appreciate your patience and the guidance you gave all of us."

This gentle-to-moderate class is perfect for beginners and for those interested in a deepening dialogue with their body. We build the foundation of an integrative practice which focuses on alignment and breath while building awareness, strength, and flexibility. We invite a quiet mind and melt away tension and stress. Each class includes asana, pranayama, meditation, and philosophy.  This class approaches the physical practice of yoga asana as a mindfulness meditation, focuses on the breath, explores the energetic body of chakras and meridians, and offers restorative practices.

Kripalu means “being compassion” in Sanskrit. Kripalu Yoga engages body, mind, and spirit, and encourages the student to listen to the wisdom that resides deep within bones and heart.  Kripalu supports student's individual journey towards their most authentic self and has been called the "yoga of inner alignment."


Wednesdays 5:45-7:15 
Yin Yoga and Yoga Nidra

What Students say: "I like it because... there's no wrong way to do it.  And every time I come, I feel better afterwards, even the next day." - Vanessa

Yin Yoga is a quiet, internal practice of being present with the body and with what is arising in the mind.  It is a physically passive practice of deep compression and release.  It engages the energy body through working with the meridians, the same channels of energy that an acupuncturist works with.  In fact, some people liken a yin yoga class to a mini-acupuncture session, without the needles!

It is derived from Taoist Yoga and is a beautiful complement to an active (vinyasa, yang) yoga practice by making your regular yoga practice ‘juicier.”  Additionally, Yin Yoga can be an effective way to address postural and structural imbalances in the body.

In this yin yoga class we will:

  • Create space in the body
  • Hold poses for 3 minutes or more
  • Lubricate the joints to find ease and greater range of motion
  • Clear and open the energy channels in the body, allowing from greater circulation of chi and prana
  • Release the tension held in the Fascia (this is the same tension that massage practices such as myo-fascial release and Rolfing address)
  • Marinate the connective tissues- tendons, ligaments and fascia- as well as the bones and joints in order to increase ease and flexibility and improve the functioning of the body as a system
Each class ends with a Yoga Nidra session.  Yoga Nidra is a practice of dynamic relaxation that has been shown to dramatically reduce stress.  In studies, it has been shown to be effective for battling burnout, curbing anxiety, and alleviating PTSD.  It is also incredibly supportive to creative work.  Yoga Nidra is practiced in a comfortable lying down position and is similar to a guided visualization.  It encourages the body’s parasympathetic nervous system to engage the rest and heal response while it invites the mind to drop into theta brainwaves thereby effecting profound restoration and healing. 




Private Classes 

Jasmine is available to teach private lessons on both an individual or group basis.  These lessons can be held at HeartStream Yoga depending on the studio's space availability and schedule.  She can also meet you for an in-home lesson.

Private classes can be a wonderful way to get a taste of yoga without the pressure of practicing in a group setting, or to meet the demands of your individual schedule.  Private lessons offer the ability to get personalized attention, to deepen your practice, to develop a personal practice, or to focus on key areas of your practice.
Jasmine firmly believes that yoga can be safely practiced by almost anyone; the key is to allow the poses and the practice to be shaped in a way that supports YOU instead of trying to fit yourself into someone else's pose or practice.  Private classes are an ideal way to address injuries, limited mobility, or to support your pregnancy in a safe and supportive manner.  You may find that you want to continue your yoga practice on a private class basis or you may find that after a few classes you feel comfortable to join a public class with the knowledge and understanding of how to safely support yourself through modifications and internal awareness.

Classes are tailored to your own needs and goals.  Some options include:

  • Gentle Yoga
  • Yoga for Stress Relief
  • Yoga Nidra (Dynamic Relaxation)
  • Restorative Yoga
  • Pranayama (Breathing practice)
  • Yin Yoga
  • Yoga for Creativity
  • Yoga for Care Providers 

Jasmine offers a free consultation via email, phone, or face to face at a coffeeshop in order to discuss your goals and needs for private classes so that together we can tailor a lesson that will best support you.
Private Sessions out of HeartStream are $75.00.  
Contact Jasmine to discuss rates for in-home classes or group rates.
