Scott's
Three Year Yoga for Wellness Curriculum
Beginning
Includes postures which often are quite comfortable for folks who have
little or no experience with yoga. We progress through the semester,
befriending the postures by revisiting them week to week as well as
slowly introducing new ones. We will learn postures such as bridge,
tree, downward facing dog, triangle, warriors I and II, dancer, sun
salutation, half shoulderstand and many others.
A typical 1 1/4 hour class consists of warm-ups, postures, some easy
going breathwork and a 10 minute relaxation. You will also learn simple
meditation techniques. Scott's Beginning Yoga CD's and audiotapes will
be available to sign out or buy to help you to begin to develop a practice
at home.
Beginning/Intermediate
Features postures best suited for students with a year of yoga experience.
However, most folks with little or no experience are comfortable beginning
with this class. We will explore postures such as frog, eagle,
bow, revolved triangle (with props), and many more, including yin
postures (easy/moderate postures held for a period of time). Breathwork
will expand to include calming, balancing and invigorating breathing
techniques. Every two or three weeks we will end with a 10 minute meditation,
focusing on breath and sensations. Audio and videotapes by various
yoga teachers will be available to sign out for home practice.
Intermediate
In the third year we spend a little more time practicing and learning
each new posture, exploring balancing sequences, twists, upward facing
bow, supported shoulderstand, plow, pigeon variations, half moon, revolved
side angle and many more. You will often use props to create just the
right variation of a posture for your unique body. We will also have
fun with a variety of full-bodied yoga sequences (vinyasa), as well
as continue our exploration of breathing and meditation techniques.
In addition to his three year curriculum Scott also offers:
Yoga
for Golfers
It was just
a matter of time before I put two of my passions together. Want
to improve your game and your enjoyment of it? Now in its fourth year,
this class is a big hit!
You will have
fun learning:
- Short routines of
moving and stretching for before and after your round.
- Yoga postures
and dyna-band routines for stretching,
strengthening and relaxing. I’ll
provide dyna-band and clubs for props.
- Focusing techniques
to improve your mental game.
We will use
techniques and background info from:
- Physical Golf by
Neil Wolkodoff
- Yoga for Golfers by
Katherine Roberts
- Eight minutes

- The 8-Step Swing DVD

Saturday
Morning Yoga Workout
A fun, full body yoga flow to get your Saturday off to a rousing start.
Yoga
Flow- Meditation in Motion
A beginning/intermediate level yoga posture flow in a relaxed meditative
setting. Students in this class come into silence when they enter
the Yoga Center and remain in silence until they leave the center.
Scott’s instructions are sparsely presented throughout the class
in a background of silence or, occasionally, soft music.
Students interested in this class should have at least a year of experience
in a yoga class.
Yoga
Flow “Plus”
Similar to Yoga Flow-Meditation in Motion except that in this class
we end with
10 minutes of relaxation and/or breathwork, followed by a 10 minute
sitting or lying-down meditation.
Friday
Evening Yoga
$12 per class drop in 8 class series - $80.
In this class, Scott uses a "meditation in motion" style,
guiding you through a full-bodied flow of beginning/intermediate level
postures, using meditation techniques of focusing on the breath and
body sensations, to foster concentration and encourage the letting
go of tension. The class ends with a 10-15 minute relaxation period.
You will leave wonderfully refreshed and relaxed, and in time to catch
an early movie downtown.
Private
Yoga Instruction
Using variations and props that provide true alignment and maximum
steadiness and comfort for your unique body. An individualized
yoga program can be highly beneficial for folks who want to develop
a personalized routine for home practice or are new to yoga or
who have been away from yoga for a while, and want to explore in
a private setting how it feels for them, and get a sense of my
teaching approach before taking their first class.
