Brand New Beginners Nov 07

About the Teacher:
After 19 years of dance training, Jill Manning left NYU's dance program to pursue Eastern Philosophy and Yoga Teacher Certification at Integral Yoga Institute, one of New York's oldest and most respected yoga schools. Her teaching style has been most strongly influenced by Rodney Yee, Maty Ezraty, and Joan White, her teacher right here in Philadelphia, as well as by her independent study of the Upanisads, the Vedas and the Bhagavad-gita. Her classes embrace yoga's intense physical conditioning while making yoga's more spiritual side accessible for those who wish to understand it. Her dynamic and highly attentive style builds strength, flexibility, confidence, and self acceptance. Jill tries to establish community in the classroom — the Sanskrit principle of Sangha — which often leads to a rollicking good time.

Why wait? Begin practicing yoga now! It will enhance the quality of your AMAZING LIFE!

Yoga helps reduce stress, improves everything from physical well being to self-esteem & confidence, to flexibility in your body as well as in your mind. Contentment, peace, and often times a sense of humor, are wonderful bi-products of a committed physical yoga practice. And the community at Wake Up Yoga is one you will be delighted to become a part of.

Walking into a yoga class for the first time can be an intimidating experience. You may feel you’re not flexible enough, not strong enough, not calm enough to make it through an entire class. This series has been created just for you! An embracing environment awaits in which you can engage your mind and body in a study of your self, discovering breath and movement in a non-competitive and nurturing environment.

You will be introduced to the 8-limbs of Yoga, and we will focus on breath and movement. The series will be progressive, layering one class on top of the next, so that your experience and understanding of yoga continues to deepen. At the end of the series, you will be empowered to attend any class at Wake Up Yoga with confidence, armed with appropriate variations to protect yourself from injury and get the most out of the class.

Upon completion of the Brand New Beginners Series, students receive 10% off their first regular class card! Next Brand New Beginners Series runs January-March 2008.
