Introduction to Hatha Yoga: Principles & Practices of Anusara Yoga with Jack Weber at acac Albemarle Square:
Anusara (a-nu-sar-a) means “flowing with grace”.

This engaging four-session workshop is designed to help experienced beginners & intermediate yoga students refine their practice through studying and practicing the core principles of Anusara.

He is known for his clarity of instruction and as a passionate teacher who is dedicated to honoring the unique abilities and limitations of each student.

Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga with Bill Knaus at acac Downtown:
This introductory class will start with the foundations of yoga and gradually take everyone through the postures that make up the “primary sequence” of Asthanga Yoga. For each posture we will explain the fundamentals of the position and we will provide modifications for all body types, ages, and individual considerations. Ashtanga yoga is a vigorous, athletic style of yoga. It appeals to those who like a sense of order, but do not want to “hold” poses for long periods. An Asthanga practice involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing internal heat and a sweat that energies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
This six-week introduction will prepare you to begin a regular yoga practice and enable you to join most of the Asthanga, Hatha, and Vinyasa yoga classes at ACAC.

Teacher: Bill Knaus is a physician who took up Yoga looking for an alternative to a strict aerobic exercise program, and who became so convinced that it improved his conditioning and balance that he went on to obtain teacher certification.
