Austin Community Learning Center • 507-460-1706
Beginner's Yoga - Yoga Studio of Austin
8+ (Ages 8-13 must be with an adult)
This is a yoga class for those newer to yoga or those wanting a basic flow class. This
class will introduce foundational yoga postures, teach you how to breath, and help
you feel more comfortable in your yoga practice. Although this class moves at a slow-
er pace than our other vinyasa classes, you can expect to be challenged both mentally
and physically. Participants should bring a water bottle and yoga mat (mats are available to rent).
Tabata Barre Workout - Yoga Studio of Austin
18+
This class combines Pilates, yoga and ballet movements, along with bursts of cardio (tabata), using a
ballet barre for support and resistance. This combination of movements provides a high-energy, full-
body workout. Close attention will be paid to posture and alignment, which encourages a long and
lean body. The class is set to high energy music in 80-85 degree temperature. Participants should
bring a water bottle and yoga mat (mats are available to rent).
Yin Yoga - Yoga Studio of Austin
18+
Yin Yoga is the deep stretching and lengthing of the body's fascia. Fascia is the connective tissues
linking bones, muscles and joints. Often times pain seems muscular but it is really hiding out in the
fascia of the body. Postures are held for a period of time to find opening and release. This is a qui-
eter class with an emphasis on turning inward, soft music will be played in a warm room. Poses are generally
exclusively done while lying on your yoga mat. This class is excellent for relieving aches and pains, finding
relaxation, and balancing your busy life. Participants should bring a water bottle and yoga mat (mats are avail-
able to rent).

HEALTH&WELLNESS
Core & Restore - Yoga Studio of Austin
Combining core activating Vinyasa flow and holds, and the healing postures of yin
yoga, Core & Restore will give you the benefits of both a yin and yang practice. Class
will begin with Vinyasa core engaging postures, with the possibility of tabata/circuit
training movements. The second half of class will include postures to deeply release
the connective tissues of the body. Class will be lightly heated around 75 degrees. Participants should bring a
water bottle and yoga mat (mats are available to rent).
All Levels Vinyasa - Yoga Studio of Austin
Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized movement," and Vinyasa yoga is a series
of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling.
Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like, which
explains why it is sometimes referred to as Vinyasa Flow or just Flow. This
class emphasizes core strength. You will not only clear your mind, you will
sweat and burn calories. This class is set to music and room temperature is 80-
90 degrees. Participants should bring a water bottle and yoga mat (mats are
available to rent).

HEALTH&WELLNESS
Restorative Yoga - Yoga Studio of Austin
Restorative Yoga is a revitalizing, relaxing, and meditative yoga practice. Restorative poses help relieve the
effects of chronic stress brought on by our modern, fast paced lives. This practice is all about slowing down and
opening your body through passive stretching. Rather than actively positioning yourself, you will learn how to
"receive" the pose with the support of props, allowing your mind to slow down and meditate on the breath.
During this class, your body is fully supported in poses for 5 to 10 minutes. Participants should bring a water
bottle and yoga mat (mats are available to rent).
Hatha Flow - Yoga Studio of Austin
Hatha yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites. In this class we will work to develop a bal-
ance of strength and flexibility as we learn to find equilibrium in our effort and surrender in each pose.
Participants should bring a water bottle and yoga mat (mats are available to rent).

plant—is a solar power plant whose electricity is shared by more than one household. Austin Utilities will be
offering customers an opportunity to buy into a community solar project. Come to this workshop to understand
more about community solar so you can decide if it’s right for you.
