Jeannine Woodall

Vinyasa Classes

Vinyasa has been described as a flowing form of asana practice. Breath is one part of what links one asana to the next. Patanjali, the author of The Yoga Sutra tells us that what we think in each moment of time determines the result of any sequence of actions.

Method Descriptions

Jivamukti Yoga

An intermediate to advanced class fuelled with soul-inspiring music. This enriching practice flows through standing postures, twists, forward & backward bending and inversions. Students explore chanting & meditation to cultivate a peaceful mind and kind heart.  Jeannine provides experienced adjustments to recharge physical practice at every level.

Vinyasa

These classes incorporate vinyasa (flowing movement linked by breath, ex. Sun Salutations A and B), a physically invigorating and dynamic form of Hatha Yoga rooted in, although not limited to the Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition.  Emphasis is on expanding awareness and promoting mindfulness to reveal peace and restore balance, while building internal heat to purify and detoxify, creating a light body and calm mind.

Meditation

Jeannine offers instruction in meditation methods, depending on the need of the practitioner.  She leads mindfulness meditation sessions, and gives guidance in visualization and mantra techniques.  Meditation practice stabilizes the mind, which in turn gives rise to insight and compassion.  Most of Jeannine's yoga classes include some time for meditation.
