HIGH DESERT YOGA

Yoga Level Two

90-minute classes with Kim Schwartz

​

The Level Two class is geared toward the intermediate student who has an understanding of alignment in basic yoga asana. At the discretion of the instructor, students will experiment with more advanced poses that could include backbends, inversions, or vinyasa flow. Poses are typically held for longer time and more variations of postures are introduced.

Suggested props: one belt, one block and four firm blankets.

Kim Schwartz was introduced to eastern philosophy as a child and began studying yoga in 1971 at age 18. In 1981 he met his Guru and began more formal studies in the yoga sutras and other aspects of yoga philosophy. Around that time he was also introduced to the Iyengar system of asana practice. In 1985 he was certified to teach yoga through the Temple of Kriya Yoga. He was ordained a Swami in the Kriya lineage in 1986. He has taught ongoing yoga classes, teachers training programs and workshops here and abroad since that time. Though asana and pranayama have become primary disciplines, the philosophy of yoga is still at the heart of his practice and teaching.
