Yoga Therapy
Yoga Therapy empowers
individuals to progress toward improved health and well-being through
the application, the philosophy and practice of yoga. Yoga Therapy
classes develop a program of using age old yoga techniques such as breath work and present moment awareness combined with body awareness exercises.
This class is suitable for
people who have pain, injury or illness that is limiting the things
they love to do; are open-minded and ready to embrace new ideas about
how the body and mind interact; are dedicated and willing to invest in
themselves; and, want to function better and find more balance in life.
An
extensive and confidential evaluation form is used to design a tailored
program for each participant.

Moksha Inspired
Moksha yoga is a form of hot yoga that is ideal for the yoga
beginner as well as the seasoned practitioner. Every Moksha Yoga class takes you through a series of
strengthening and toning postures in the detoxifying calm of a heated studio. At this point Chinook Yoga Studio does not have the capacity to heat the studio to the ideal temperature of 37-39 degrees celsius so it is more like a warm room yoga class. It is called a Moksha Inspired class because it is not taught at a Moksha studio but you will still experience all the benefits of a great yoga class! Jaylene Paivarinta, the instructor for this class, has completed 300 hours of the 500 hour level Moksha Yoga Teacher Training. The remaining 200 hours will be completed by June 2011.
Bring a towel and a water bottle!
