Then, you’ll put these concepts into practice in our 45-minute High Altitude Yoga™ II class.

High Altitude Yoga™ Classes
Take your practice to the peak with Black Sand Yoga’s one-of-a-kind High Altitude Yoga™ classes! Learn more about each class below.
High Altitude Yoga™ I : This 45-minute class is half Oxygen Advantage® + half power yoga. You’ll spend the first half of class using Oxygen Advantage® techniques to simulate high altitude training and build your breathing strength. Then, you’ll take the energy and focus you gained from the breathing practice and go straight into a challenging power yoga sequence.
High Altitude Yoga™ II: This 45-minute class combines breath hold techniques with power yoga. You’ll move through a challenging sequence that includes breath holds as you hold specific poses.
What to Expect
In both classes you will practice breath holds that range from mini breath holds to strong breath holds. If you are new to these classes, you can start small and build up!
We do not recommend taking these classes if you are pregnant or have serious respiratory or cardiovascular issues. Always consult a physician before performing breath holds.
