- You want a deep dive into a yoga pose (or poses) to really understand alignment relative to your body.  

- You are dealing with a life transition (moving, new job, retirement, etc…) and want the extra personalized care.

Practice outdoors in this well-rounded, moderately-physical yoga practice that will warm you up and stretch you out. No prior yoga experience needed for active beginners.

A physically challenging yoga practice that combines traditional yoga poses with the vibes of today’s music. May include on-your-own flow work to music, advanced-level asana work, deep hip openers and inversions. Previous yoga experience recommended.

A music-filled, intermediate-to-advanced practice, strategically prepping our bodies for one peak pose.  In honor of the end of summer, this practice builds to firefly (tittibasana), a challenging arm balance from the canon of traditional yoga postures.   We’ll break down the position into its key components and see how far our bodies can fly.

Does holiday travel or office stress got you hunched over and looking like you're ready for battle?   Learn how to use the wall to stretch and reset your posture while you're at work or the airport. 

Does holiday travel or office stress got you hunched over and looking like you're ready for battle?   With just a wall & a (therapy) ball, learn how to  reset your posture while you're at work or the airport!

Learning to control the body for athletics always leads to controlling the breath, for example as one swings a golf club or tennis racket.  Yoga takes this to a deeper level.  Journey through postures and breath towards a mind without thought and peace in the heart.    

Robert Boustany founder of The Houstonian's yoga program is now available for one-on-one consultations to individually guide you through your questions. Reservations available online or yoga@houstonian.com.

6-week series
Rainbow Body: A Short Practitioner-Scholar Meditation Course
with guest presenter Sravana Bortakaty-Varma, Ph.D.

Chakras, and kuṇḍalinī have a long history of transmission from traditional spaces in India to the digital spaces, which are interwoven with rapid remembering and forgetting. This spread of knowledge is further compounded by religious systems, geographical preferences, and generational favorites.

This short but intensive immersion course provides the scholar-practitioner with a broad understanding of how these terms went through a journey of complex transmissions. This voyage is brought to life by looking at how kuṇḍalinī yoga is practiced within an esoteric tradition in India, and offerings of kuṇḍalinī yoga in the United States. Since the ascent of kuṇḍalinī yoga is through the chakras present in the yogic body, we will focus on the study and practice of activating the chakras.

The course will include readings and meditation homework beginning a week before the first in-person meeting.

A six week series with three in-person Course meetings:
- 4 April Thursday 2 - 3:30 p.m. in Studio B
- 18 April Thursday 2 - 3:30 p.m. in Studio B
- 9 May Thursday 2 - 3:30 p.m. in Studio B

Non-Refundable 6-week Course Fee: $250/person
