Westfield Yoga Center

Healthy Body, Clear Mind, Peaceful Spirit

Expand & Explore Series


The Expand and Explore format is designed for students with prior yoga experience and is ideal for graduates of Yoga for Beginners courses. An eight-week series allows participants to expand their personal practice in a supportive group setting.  Each series focuses on a specific style and/or theme to broaden your yoga experience.

While all Expand and Explore series will provide participants with a rewarding yoga experience, the level of physical challenge desired varies from student to student. To help a student choose the series that’s best for each of them, we have given a physical challenge rating for each series of Easy, Moderate or Strong.

"Strong and Deep"

         Challenge your body and strengthen your spirit

In Strong and Deep classes, various postures (some quite challenging!) and longer holdings of poses are interspersed with flow sequences and breathing exercises.  Further, opportunities arise for personal posture flows.  A well-earned period of deep relaxation restores your energy and soothes your spirit.
