this yoga class is a gentler version of the level 1. it is a kripalu-inspired, meditative class with longer holding for a deep, "in-body" experience. lots of silence to enhance the peaceful nature of yoga. emphasis on breath, trusting the body's wisdom and eastern philosophy. if you have issues with blood pressure, knees, shoulders, or other joints, this might be a better class for you than level 1, and it is a good starting point for a new person.
