Everyone learns Tai Chi, Qigong and Yoga at their own pace, the same choreography is used for the first time beginners as for the decades experienced practitioner. And, our instructors are highly skilled at working with individuals and their needs within a group setting; therefore, you will find in all cases, all classes have students of broad skill range. However, the following distinctions may be useful for those seeking the practice for the first time or for those wishing to define their progress within our school structure.
 
Basics Specific instruction for relaxation, alignment and basic choreography of a form. Students will begin to experience energy flow and mental focus. Though geared for beginners, all levels are highly encouraged to attend. The stronger the basics, the stronger the advancement.
All Levels Attention to relaxation and alignment, building the choreography of a form, clarifying transitions, deepening energy flow and mind focus. Beginners are highly encouraged to attend and will still receive their core basics. (Due to the nature of Kripalu Yoga please note that all classes are for all levels.)
Intermediate Focus on the energetic distinctions in a form, greater kinesthetic awareness of structure, deeper energetic and mental flow states, a place for the second half of the form and interactive practice. Students here are encouraged to have initiated their home practice at this point. Must have had 12 weeks of basics or all levels class or by instructor permission. Excepting Monday 8:00 pm class, there is no additional charge for intermediate level classes when combined with its companion basics class.
