Vinyasa Yoga
This is Jared’s signature open level vinyasa class. This class aims to break attachments, create energy, vitality, and purify both mind and body. Breathing becomes a meditation and is utilized to create space from the inside out.  Jared’s class blends many styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Bikram, Iyengar, Forrest, and Dharma yoga. JM Vinyasa bridges gaps in yoga traditions, and creates a practice that is modern, accessible, and allows practitioners to learn from all styles. Every class includes standing postures, hip openers, backbends, forward bends, twists, and inversions. Classes can also include mantra, pranayama, kriya or meditation. All levels are welcome. Non-heated class, though it will be warm and balmy in Mexico at this time of the year :)

Kriya means action.  And Kriya Yoga combines mantra, movement, and focus to create a shift in energy.  The Kriya yoga system consists of varying levels of pranayama, mantra, and mudra-based techniques used to accelerate spiritual realization.  Mantra practice creates a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind.  Kriya (moving meditation) brings clarity. Pranayama destroys the veil of ignorance. This class allows students to explore the higher limbs of yoga in a safe and supportive environment.

Use your proportions to unlock your potential; an invigorating and complete Vinyasa practice guided by self-mapping techniques that soften the edges between different styles of Yoga with a broader paradigm of self-knowledge. Develop an integrated perspective on how to move energy through yourself rather than simply practice one posture in a vacuum, learn the Sacred Geometry Sun Salutation, and enjoy a sequence that is as sustainable as it is dynamic. For any student with an eye for detail and any teacher who remains a student, this is a practice that will serve you in any other practice you do.

Kirtan + Dance
Kirtan is a very different kind of music.  Based on ancient chants, it has the ability to quiet the mind if listened to with intention.  Everyone experiences kirtan differently, and it doesn’t have to be a religious experience.  You can think of it as a sing-along.  As you sing with each other you experience a deep connection with the musicians, the other audience members and yourself.  And when the music stops, your mind is quiet.

Battle Asana
Battle Asana is a fun event created around the game Y-O-G-A (similar to H-O-R-S-E or S-K-A-T-E) where players go back and fourth setting yoga poses to be completed by the other player until one spells the word YOGA. The game was created to raise awareness, spread yoga, and entertain.

Through mindfulness and awareness, the game Y-O-G-A inspires yogis all over the world to learn new postures, balance their strengths, and have fun with their friends. Yoga Asanas (the physical yoga moves) are challenging and come with consistent practice. We want to inspire everyone including you to practice yoga, be more aware, and discover what Yoga is to you.

26+2 (60 min)
The sequence of 26 postures and 2 breathing, traditionally known as the Bikram method, exercises that systematically work every part of the body, to give all the internal organs, all the veins, all the ligaments, and all the muscles everything they need to maintain optimum health and maximum function. Each component takes care of something different in the body, and yet they all work together synergistically, contributing to the success of every other one, and extending its benefits.
