Zoom Online & In-Person Classes
In-Person Class Schedule
The in-person classes will be held on Tuesday and Thursday mornings at our previous studio location on the third floor of 316 East Mitchell (which is now under the purview of the Crooked Tree Dance program).
The yoga studio is a large airy room with multiple windows, a fan, and an air purifier. You are welcome to wear a mask, it is optional.
Besides being together, a big plus for the studio is the rope wall, and I intend to make use of it in most classes! Each person puts up their own ropes as we set up for class, and takes them down at the end of class. We will help you learn how to do this.
Classes are on a rolling admission basis, you can start anytime

For inclement weather, the in person classes may be zoomed. This announcement will be given via the newsletter, not the website, so all students should sign up on the homepage to receive it.
The prices will be for either 60 or 90 minutes whether it's for Zoom or in person. However, if you are attending in person, each person pays for class separately (families may share a Zoom class). Any class you bought on Zoom is good for an in- person class and vice versa.
To attend as a new student call or email Mary to determine which class you should attend and to receive any updates on the schedule. If you own a yoga mat, bring it, although there are mats and other equipment available to borrow at the studio.
Drop ins are allowed, but call or email ahead to be sure you are in the right class and it is happening. All yoga students do not have to register for a particular day, but can come on either Tuesday or Thursday any week. Previous North Woods Yoga students or students from another Iyengar Yoga program are welcome to drop in, but calling or emailing is recommended to be sure class is happening.

Prices

8 -     90 minute classes - $125 ($15.60/class)
12 -   90 minute classes -$180 ($14/class)

10 -     60 minute classes - $120 ($12/class)
20 -   60 minute classes - $220 ($11/class)To request the classes you want, please email Mary at maryreilly36@gmail.com. Say which class you want to take and which count it is off of your package. For example, "I’d like Thursday at 5:30, my 3rd of 8." Mary will send you the link for that class. Every week the links are new.
The day of your class the link will take you to the waiting room and Mary will "let you in." Try to come to class ten or so minutes early.
Before the start time students will have a few minutes to set their camera angle and say hi to the others in the class. When class starts Mary will mute everyone. (You can mute yourself earlier if there is background noise in your space.) If you would prefer not to be seen, select the icon of the video camera and it will stop the video from showing you, but you will still see the class and Mary.
Classes are usually recorded (just the instruction, not the video of students unless they agree to be used for an example). The recordings are available to students in the class by request and can be viewed for up to 30 days after the class.
Classes are "mixed level," so you need to take the offering or version of the asana that matches your experience level. It’s fine to try something new, if you go slowly and stay aware of your capacity. If you need to ask a question, just unmute yourself.
Equipment to have available for zooming from home:
Yoga mat
2-3 yoga blankets,( or wool or cotton blankets)
2 yoga blocks, (preferably wood, but hard foam is ok )
A 6 foot or longer yoga belt
an armless chair
a wall to work at occasionallyI recommend Yoga in Action Preliminary Course, by Geeta S. Iyengar for a basic text. It’s available here. It’s also sold at other sites, but this is our national organization and they have the best price as well. Feel free to email me with any questions about starting yoga at North Woods Yoga!
Notes
Rather than go through an unwieldy registration process each time, you are asked to keep track of class usage yourself.
Mary recommends a sticky note on your computer as your "class card," checking off each class as you take it and renewing your card when they are used up. (If you want Mary to keep track for you contact her on email to set this up. It’s a different system so it has to be set up for future classes.)
If something comes up and you can’t attend class, don’t count it. Your classes are not counted by how many codes you request.
You and the members of your household may use the same class punch to take class. If you are taking classes in person, each person uses a punch off the card.
If you have lost or diminished income, due to COVID-19 or other circumstances, please let Mary know and she can make the classes happen for you.
