YogaVibes.com (www.yogavibes.com) would like to thank Sloane Park and Yoga Island (www.yogaisland.com) in Flower Mound, TX for filming with us on October 16th, 2009. Sloane filmed a beginner-friendly flow class that will be available in the next couple of weeks. This class will make almost 50 full-length online yoga classes available on YogaVibes.com!
Sloane Park is the owner of Yoga Island, a vinyasa-based yoga studio in Flower Mound, TX. In her Sun-Moon-Earth Flow class, Sloane begins with a heat-producing warm-up of Sun Salutations. In the Moon section of the class, poses are held longer and alignment is emphasized. The class ends with backbends, core-work and a few inversions to stretch deeper into the body. If you are new to yoga or want to come back to the basics, we hope you will visit Sloane's class on

YogaVibes.com (www.yogavibes.com) would like to thank Gary and Melissa Margolin and Home-Simply Yoga (www.homesimplyyoga.com) in Santa Monica, California for filming with us on September 30th and October 2nd, 2009. Gary and Melissa co-led two Ashtanga classes, which will be a great addition to our other full-length online yoga classes. These two new classes will be available in the coming weeks at YogaVibes.com.
Gary and Melissa Margolin own
Home-Simply Yoga, an Ashtanga-based yoga studio in Santa Monica. For YogaVibes, Gary wanted to start with two classes, an Introduction to Ashtanga and Led Half Primary Series. Ashtanga yoga is a set series of poses that is practiced in either the Mysore (non-led) or led style. The classes that Gary and Melissa filmed are in the led-style. The introductory class is perfect for someone who is unfamiliar with the Ashtanga series, but has some vinyasa flow experience, and wants to learn more about this amazing practice. The Led Half Primary Series is designed for students who are familiar with the basic postures and can modify as needed. Gary's passion for the Ashtanga system of yoga is contagious! If you are ever in Santa Monica, you need to stop by and take a class with Gary and Melissa and see their beautiful, environmentally-friendly "green" yoga studio. Come check out Gary and Melissa's Ashtanga classes at
YogaVibes.com.

YogaVibes.com (www.yogavibes.com) would like to thank Jennifer Beyt Coffin (www.jenniferbeytcoffin.com) and Hollis Church, owner of The Glowing Body (www.glowingbody.net), in Knoxville, Tennessee for filming with us on October 3, 2009. Jennifer led a wonderful Yinyasa class that she says is her favorite practice! Jennifer's class, along with many other full-length online yoga classes, will be available soon at YogaVibes.com.
Jennifer Beyt Coffin draws inspiration from a blend of essential aspects of Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Forrest, Iyengar and Yin Yoga practices. In her Yinyasa class, Jennifer starts out with a focus on Yin Yoga to find release in our connective tissues and to create space and integrity in both our joints and our minds. Next, the class transitions into a more active, yang sequence. In the Yang portion of the class, there is more rhythmic, flowing repetition of movements that require and build strength and balance. Jennifer finishes the class with a blissful Savasana. Jennifer claims that "practicing in this way does amazing things for your back!" We hope that you will enjoy this juxtaposition of both Yin and Yang styles of yoga in Jennifer's class on
YogaVibes.com!
