Additional Class Descriptions

Kripalu Yoga Classes

Angelena is currently offering private or semi-private classes as well as group classes

The format of her classes includes centering, pranayama practice (conscious breathing), warming up the joints and then moving into the more traditional asanas (postures) and vinyasas (posture flows).

Classes end with a brief seated meditation, followed by shavasana, the pose of deep relaxation. Within this format, each class is somewhat different Inspiring music of all types helps to set the mood.

A FEW ENDORSEMENTS....

“Private classes are so important initially not only to learn how to do each posture the correct way but also learning and practicing deep yoga breathing throughout the class. I have gained so much more strength and flexibility through Angelena’s tutoring”.

Chair Yoga Classes

For anyone who knows that Yoga would be good for them, but can not easily get up and down off of the floor or who have endurance issues, these classes offer the same benefits of a regular yoga class but are done (mostly or totally) seated and when standing, using the chair for support.

Angelena first began teaching chair classes 20 years ago and has refined her program, over the years.
She has been a teacher in residential settings, yoga centers, corporations, and privately. Her DVD, "Angelena's Yoga Using a Chair" has sold copies to students throughout the US and abroad. It is available through this web site

Yoga classes are held online. or at your home, office or in Angelena's home-studio located in Sarasota, Florida .

Private Yoga Sessions

If you prefer to work one to one, or with your partner, classes may be arranged and designed so that they are appropriate for your individual needs and experience level. The fee is reasonable. Private classes are particularly helpful for any of the following reasons:

You don't enjoy group classes and want to learn yoga from the beginning.
You have a chronic condition or injury and you want to focus on a particular area.
You need to quickly learn and practice the tools of stress reduction.
You can't seem to match your schedule with any group classes offered, and you need more flexibility week-to-week.
You want to learn how to practice yoga while using a chair for support (teaching chair yoga is one of Angelena's specialties).
