Workout of the week: Intimate Weave yoga

Russell is a former Celtic singer and songwriter who began doing yoga as therapy for an injured hand 12 years ago. He used to teach at Core Power but left because he says his style was too different. Which it definitely is.

His class emphasizes four levels of yoga: the motion (physical posture), emotion (how it makes you feel), notion (related ideas and concepts) and devotion (spirituality).

Who does it? This class was small, only three women.

When: 5:30-5:45 p.m. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

Level: This class is not physically difficult, maybe a two on a 10-point scale, but that might be because it is so slow and deliberate.

Format: Fifteen minutes of physical/emotional/mental warm-up exercises. Then about 30 to 45 minutes of active yoga asanas, followed by 15 minutes of restorative postures.
