Tom, offers a soothing yet at times rigorous
class but still beginners will be give modifications.
His watchful eye will supply props and assists, which ever is required.
Deep Stretch Yoga will take you through Vinyasa, Sun Salutes, and steady poses
all from the traditional yoga but in a gentle and deep stretch pattern.
The series of movements are taken from Traditional Hatha, Ashtanga
and even a bit of Bikram tossed in also. So in this way the class is nomadic
or wandering.
Although deep stretch yoga is helpful for the ‘somewhat’ new yogi, it is also beneficial
for the student of intermediate level ability. All can begin to enter or fully enter
a pose such as Marichiasana, because of the support of props if needed. Marichiasana
can also be a great pose for an advanced student who may need
the gentle energy of a finger strategically placed on the spine to get the
forehead to the knee or to bind.
The instructor may open or close the class with a reading or statement on
the Yama or NiYama. He may talk about using chakra energy to help you
keep your body aligned. Imagine seeing it and then allow it to occur.
Tom’s style is gentle and kind. You will feel well cared for in his class.
He may offer you a blanket when you are in final savasana. He could gently work your shoulders. He is ashtanga experienced.
