Vinyasa Yoga Weekend with Arline Jernigan

Friday, August 7th, 6PM - 9PM
All levels class concentrating on flow, moving seamlessly through space, and standing poses.

Saturday, August 8th, 9AM - 12 Noon
A challenging, vigorous, yet accessible class working in stages to build up to more advanced poses. We will explore hip opening as well as arm balances and inversions.

Sunday, August 9th, 9AM - 12 Noon
The first hour will consist of warming into a backbending practice followed by two hours of a relaxing and restorative practice.

$40 per session or $100 for all three. Payment is required in advance to reserve your spot.

When you practice yoga with Arline, it’s clear that she values connection. She’s an energy maven, reading and moving the energy in her classes with ease. And, she’s fully aware of the power of her own energy. The girl has got some mamma jamma shakti going on. Her teaching style is pure vinyasa – linking each yoga pose together in a flow of grace, strength and stamina.

A graduate of Memphis College of Art and a long-term physical fitness instructor before coming to yoga, Arline brings a unique blend of physicality and artfulness to her teaching. The yoga mat serves as a different kind of canvas for Arline, who continues to paint and exhibit her work in Memphis art galleries. Through her teaching as well as her art, she inspires others to feel more and move beyond preconceived notions of personal limitation.

She draws her primary teaching inspiration from Shiva Rea, “Shiva opened my eyes to the beauty of flow, the freedom that personal power offers us, and the gateway to it on the yoga mat.”

Arline received her teaching certification through Yoga Alliance. She teaches both public and private classes, and takes students on yoga adventures around the world. Keep your eyes out for details on her future retreats and workshops which are great fun, highly energizing, and deeply restorative.
