Susan Dupuis will be offereing yoga classes starting Sept. 20 and running until Nov. 22 in Virden in the Goulter School Gym.
The All Levels Co-ed Class is for people of all yoga levels. It offers a mutli-diciplinary approach to yoga, music and meditation. Foundations of asana (an asana is a posture in which a practitioner sits, “to be seated in a position that is firm, but relaxed”) and meditation will be taught. Also, Dupuis will cover anatomy in asana, chanting, and the basics of meditation. This class will prepare you for intermediate level yoga. It also helps maintain health, strength, flexibility, and manage stress.
The Intermediate Co-Ed Class Dupuis teaches focuses on exploration and refinement of “The Big Six” which are: Sirsasana (headstand), Sarvangasana (shoulderstand), Halasana (plow), Setu Bandha Sarvangasana (supported bridge pose), Viparita Karani (inverted lake posture) and Savasana (Corpse pose). Yoga at this level means that standing poses are refined to the point that backbend and inversions can be incorporated safely. Participants in the intermediate class must have permission from the instructor to partake in the class.
