The yoga classes that you will practice with Jill is part of the Hatha yoga tradition, and is a vinyasa style class. Hatha means the balance of opposites (masculine and feminine, solar and lunar, energizing and relaxing). Vinyasa means to flow from one position to another. The format of our classes follow a typical sequence, which can be referred to as mountains and valleys. Mountain I is the warm-up phase, followed by Valley I, the salutations. Mountain II comes next, which is the work phase or the Hatha part of the class, followed by Valley II, the balance portion of class. We end our class with Mountain III, the deep stretching phase. From there we move into final relaxation.
