Difficulty & Intensity Guide

This comprehensive guide will help you find which series is right for you

Difficulty Levels

Difficulty refers to the level of skill and technique called for in a class.

Introductory

Introductory classes are designed for those who have never taken a yoga or fitness class before.

As a step below the beginner level, introductory classes move at a slow pace, take time to break down each pose and exercise, and are shorter in length to help you build endurance as you create a new movement routine. These classes are generally bodyweight only and contain modifications to help you feel safe and supported.

Beginner

Beginner classes are geared toward those who have very little exposure to yoga or fitness.

These classes offer many modifications and detailed instructions on fundamental poses and exercises. Beginner classes are perfect for someone who is looking to start a regular yoga practice or fitness routine, though they’re also suitable for all levels to practice and brush up on the basics with alignment and form. You can also find mindfulness and wellness in this category.

Moderate

As the next step up from beginner classes, moderate classes include higher-level modifications and less detailed instruction than you would find in a beginner class.

Moderate classes are well-suited for those who have previous yoga and fitness experience and a basic understanding of poses, exercises, and class structure. This is an excellent choice if you’re trying to maintain consistency in your routine and increase your strength, skills, and flexibility with a class geared toward all levels.

Intermediate

Looking for a challenge? Intermediate classes tend to weave in more challenging poses and high-intensity exercises at a faster pace.

These classes will help build your strength, deepen your flexibility, and enhance your body awareness. For yoga classes, you can expect creative transitions, options for arm balances and inversions, and workout-inspired flows. For fitness classes, expect heavier weights, a higher sweat factor, and a quick pace that challenges your strength and cardio endurance.

Advanced

These classes offer the perfect opportunity to explore your potential beyond what you’ll find in typical all-levels studio classes.

Advanced classes are designed for those with a strong and consistent yoga and fitness routine. Expect advanced-level inversions, arm balances, and backbends; challenging peak pose variations; deep flexibility; strength work; and tricky transitions. You’ll find your edge while exploring a greater level of strength, control, and skill work.

Jacy’s Bio

Jacy Cunningham is a trainer, motivational speaker, and founder of The Jacy Method — his unique style of training where working out meets working in.

From a young age, Jacy knew that his passions extended far beyond the playing field. Having grown up in a family of athletes, he felt pressured to always be on top of his game and excel in his performance. His constant effort and determination paid off, and in 2008, he signed a football scholarship to Howard University in Washington, DC.

After playing four years of college football and graduating with an economics degree, he eventually threw in the towel and walked away from football in 2012. For months after leaving the sport, he weaved in and out of states of depression. Without his sports identity, he was left questioning his purpose — until he reconnected with a friend to take part in the Summit Series events in Utah, where he worked as a movement instructor until 2017. His time at the Summit Series served as a launching pad for The Jacy Method, a physical and emotional movement experience that helps people reflect and embrace every part of their being.

Jacy is a certified fitness instructor with the American Aerobic Association International/International Sports Medicine Association and he’s certified with Qoya Yoga. Since the launch of The Jacy Method, he’s worked with clients such as Nike, Life Is Good, and Mike Posner. He continues to travel around the country and help others find healing and connection through movement.
