IDY Class Descriptions & Details

IDY-Integrative Dynamic Yoga™ is a systematic method to enhance and “re”-integrate mind/body consciousness. It is an inter-disciplinary approach that fuses traditional yoga principles and contemporary philosophical practices with the fundamental techniques of exercise science, fitness, and restorative and functional conditioning. IDY establishes optimal health, fitness, personal well-being and awareness.

Advanced IDY Sadhana

For those who want to seriously practice yoga in action, it is time to formulate a specific sadhana. Sadhana means "endeavoring to obtain a particular result." Advanced IDY Sadhana is a powerful method to achieve this result. There are three important aspects of sadhana: choice, commitment, and aspiration. Classes focus on challenging IDY vinyasa movements and yoga postures including hand and arm balancing poses, inversions, and backbends that greet your physical, mental, and spiritual edge. We also use the yoga wall and props to deepen various yoga postures. Time is also spent practicing breathing techniques and sitting meditation. This class is limited to 10 participants and meets 2 times per week. Participants in this class must have previous yoga experience with Kamie, have attended Kamie's IDY Power Flow Level 2 class regularly, or must obtain permission from Kamie to participate.
