Ashtanga Yoga Classes
Based on the Primary Series as taught by Sri K Patthabhi Jois, this yoga practice consists of a flowing sequence of asanas (postures) synchronizing breath with movement (vinyasa), incorporating bandhas (internal 'locks') and dristhis (gazing points). This is a powerful transformative practice which creates a purifying heat within the body, develops strength, builds stamina, increases flexibility, and focuses the mind.
Teaching is done primarily through hands on adjustments. Veronika has studied with excellent teachers and her adjustments are intuitive, safe, and effective for deepening one's practice.
Intro classes focus on building a strong foundation of alignment and understanding while learning the sequence. In Mysore style classes, students 'self practice' the series and receive individual guidance and adjustments from the instructor.
Vinyasa Flow Classes
A fluid, dynamic sequence of postures drawing from Ashtanga, and flow styles of yoga. These classes can have different emphasis such as freeing the hips, opening and strengthening the spine, building stamina and strength, etc.
Currently teaching Mondays 6:45 - 8:15pm
@ Princeville Community Center
Partner Yoga
Sharing yoga with a partner is a wonderful experience. Partners help one another to stretch and open more deeply than possible on one's own. Many of the postures are mutually beneficial, where some have one person giving while the other receives. A beautiful way to spend time with your significant other, family member, or friend, partners help one another to build strength, flexibiility, and balance - plus it's alot of FUN!
Yoga Ed
Yoga Ed is a youth yoga curriculum that has been endorsed by the department of education, and has been adopted by many schools in California, Colorado, Oahu, and elsewhere. Veronika developed a PE Yoga course that was adopted by Parker School on Hawaii Island a few years ago that was very poplular with the students, and the program continues today.
A certified Yoga Ed teacher , Veronika is currently working to bring yoga to Kauai schools. She is available for yoga classes for children of any age, from K-12.
Some quotes from Veronika's students:
"Veronika is an excellent yoga teacher--she tuned right into not only my body, but also my emotional, mental and spiritual self, (which is the true purpose of yoga)." - Andrea Brower, Malama Kauai
"What I love most about flow-yoga with Veronika Rose are the natural rhythms and the gentle pacing she employs. I feel strong, fluid and flexible long after a session has ended." - Suzanne Sims, New Millennium Institute
"Each yoga session with Veronika is a deeply internal
experience that ends in profound peace." - Sara McCay, Artist
