*All Levels
This means that it really doesn't matter where you think you are in your practice.  It doesn't mean that the person next to you is 'more flexible' than you and they're laughing.  It also doesn't mean that if you try something you are not sure of, you'll fail.  All Levels means that no matter where you are in your practice, you're invited to experiment in any class at any level and just see where you are!  You just might surprise yourself.
