Yoga Basics is for complete newcomers to the art and science of yoga or those who want to reaffirm basic alignment and poses. Vocabulary, alignment concepts, and relevant anatomy are introduced. Students will explore pre-asana and beginning yoga poses with a focus on initiating a balance between strength and flexibility.

You will need a yoga mat, a couple of blankets, a yoga block or thick books tied together, and a yoga belt (or 8–10 ft strap, sash, or rope).

Nishtha Jane Kappy has delved into a wide variety of somatic practices and spent 20 years as a licensed massage therapist, all of which inform her approach to teaching yoga. She has worked with many individuals with health and mobility challenges and loves figuring out how to modify asana so the student receives the most benefit. Nishtha brings a hands-on knowledge of human anatomy and a deep curiosity about internal organization to each class and emphasizes the importance of sensing one's own body/mind and breath because, as one of her beloved teachers used to say, "You're the one who's in there." She is registered with Yoga Alliance as eRYT 500.
