YOGA  FUNDAMENTALS

emphasizes precise attention, subtle alignment, and conscious breath. The simplicity and accessibility of our practice can be deceptive – students often report not knowing how deeply they were working until the next day! The fundamentals of the physical poses are supplemented with the philosophy and energetic principles of yoga.

There is much evidence for yoga's benefit's on the body and mind...strength, flexibility, focus, stress relief...featuring a slower moving, more mindful practice, this class is for anyone new to yoga, or anyone looking for that slower paced practice. Stephen will provide a broad overview of yoga asana (postures), pranayama (breathing techniques), basic yoga philosophy, and simple meditation practices.

Instructor Stephen Sheikhli

Stephen Sheikhli was a very inflexible marathon runner before struggling through his first yoga class in 2007. A year later, he became a 200-hour certified yoga instructor through YogaWorks, hosted by Triangle Yoga. Since then, he has taught at numerous studios and corporate gyms in the Raleigh area. His classes follow the YogaWorks style in their blend of flow plus Iyengar-based alignment, but they add influences drawn from the workshops of the many master teachers Stephen has studied with over the years, including Gabriel Halpern, Doug Keller and Ray Long. When not teaching, Stephen practices various styles of Hatha yoga and works as a freelance editor.
