Our practice
With a view of the lily padded lake, Alternative Therapy yoga students practice an Iyengar style asana practice, based on class ability with emphasis on body alignment. Detailed instructions combined with gentle adjustments promote safety and an opportunity for the practitioner to grow in understanding of each asana. 

Beginning with meditation, Brook leads her class on a step by step journey, instilling confidence and encouraging them toward their personal best.  Then, winding down the class with restorative poses gradually taking  them to savasana described by one student as "Infused Serenity".

Meditation
Meditation begins and completes each yoga session.  Before asana practice, sukhasana (seated meditation) assists the practitioner in turning their attention inward, focusing on quieting the mind to attain improved mental clarity to promote awareness of breath and body. 

Upon completion of the asana practice, replcia rolex savasana (restful pose) provides time for the body to enter a deep state of relaxation where muscle memory created from the poses practiced during the class can be retained and an opportunity to store the peacefullness.  This peaceful state can then be "recalled" when stress levels rise and life is not so peaceful.
 
 
Breathing techniques
Alternative Therapy yoga students enhance their meditation and improve their yoga practice with guided breathing techniques. These practices called "pranayama" encourage centering, allowing the practitioner to receive the full benefit of their meditation and asana practice.  Pranayama is effective in balancing stressed energy, reducing anxiety and it can also build core strength.
