Yoga Classes

Hot Vinyasa Flow- This is an invigorating and challenging class set in a hot room surely meant to help you detox and sweat it out! Thomas or Claudia will guide you through a yoga series and then allow you to flow at your own pace. It is set to upbeat and more rhythmic music. This class is great for those that are more physically active and like to be taken to their edge.

SlowBurn Vinyasa Flow- This is a slower paced class connecting each breath with movement that is meant to explore each yoga pose by feeling it rather than just doing it. The invitation will always be there for one to take their awareness within by closing their eyes. It truly is a calming and therapeutic experience. This class welcomes all yoga practioners.

“The only journey, is the journey within”….

When you yoga at Del Sol, you’ll find tried and true methods for bringing a high level of resilience to your body. You will learn creative methods to loosen those hips, shoulders and hammies that plague you after that long day at work or after the long run, ride, or swim. And as for the all important core, connect it like never before and find the true meaning of physical and mental strength, resilience, and stamina, necessary to keep you moving long after you have hit the, “wall”. Challenge yourself with something new and be pleasantly and thankfully surprised.

Claudia Castro-Leverett has been sharing her love of yoga for the past nine years and has been practicing intently for the past 15 years.
She received her yoga certification from Yoga Yoga in Austin TX, at first only to find more depth in her own practice. Claudia then began her Advanced Training with Brigitte Snyder and Murti from Healing in Yoga.
She has continued her adult yoga training with master teachers like Jonny Kest, Seane Corn, Shiva Rea, Rusty Wells, and Aadil Palkhivala. Currently she is participating in a Living Yoga Sadhana/Medatition training with Shiva Rea. In the summer of 2011, her and Thomas both completed 200 hours at Center for Yoga with Master Yoga Teacher and Healer, Jonny Kest in Michigan.

When Claudia and Thomas first met Jonny, they knew he was their teacher.  His personality and style of Hot Vinyasa created such an energizing, validating, detoxifiying, and liberating experience that they wanted to be a part of helping spread it’s benefits to any and all.  His style, not only detoxified the body and mind with breath control and challenging movements, but with intensity both inner and outer, and with an overall effect of totally balancing the body.  After leaving one of his classes and having spent every ounce of sweat and will on the mat, Thomas recalls noticing a smile he could not take off his face.  It was in that moment of clarity that he realized the natural state of human kind is indeed overwhelming happiness, and that through regular practice of Yoga, one can reach these emotional states so missing from the world today.  This practice truly calls on the student to “check in”, not “check out”.

Claudia has received her Children's Yoga certification after completing the Radiant Child Children's Yoga Program with the amazing Shakta Kaur Khalsa, Next Generation Yoga with the brilliant Jodi Komitor, and Angel Bear Yoga with the lovely Christi Eley. She is Yoga Alliance Certified in both Adult Hatha/Vinyasa Flow style and Children's Yoga.

Besides teaching at their studio, Del Sol, Claudia teaches yoga for health care professionals during their lunch hours, for her daughter's Montessori school, for Kids Camps, for birthday parties and for private group events.
One of her favorite quotes today is the "let the love that you are, be what you do!".......Rumi

For many, her classes are the starting point for a connected and thoughtful day. For others, they are an opportunity to nurture and give back to themselves for a hard week gone by. And for still others, a place of community where like minded individuals come together to walk the path of yoga, or “Union” with the Absolute. Her personal practice is one of Bhakti or yoga of love and devotion which then also infuses her poetic teaching style.
