All Levels Yoga
All students welcome
A class built around an evolving yoga journey using a combination of poses with a focus on basic alignment. Mindfulness, breath, and movement are utilized to provide great stretch and strength components for the body.
Slow Flow - Flow Yoga
All students welcome (prior yoga or cardio experience helpful)
A combination of poses that strengthen the ability to transition from one situation or pose to another. Linking movement and breath, flow yoga allows for the continuance of fluidity, flexibility and strength to your yoga practice.
Traditional Yin
All students welcome
Yin yoga targets the connective tissue such as ligaments, tendons, joint capsules and even the bones of the body. This class will focus on the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Yin is a perfect compliment to the dynamic and muscular styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat and lengthening.
Flow (Jivamukti)
All students welcome
You work at your own pace, following the teachers verbal as well as hands-on-guidance. Asana options will be provided for beginners, intermediate and advanced students. An open class presents classical yoga teachings as relevant to one's life on and off the mat and are supported by chanting, breath awareness, flowing vinyasa sequences, alignment exploration, hands-on assistance, deep relaxation with aroma therapy and massage. Classes include asana, meditation and spiritual teachings.
Flow to Restorative
This class will begin with gentle movement to release built-up tension from the day and will move into a restful, restorative practice to ease the body and mind into a relaxed state. Restorative yoga uses bolsters and blankets to fully support the body and it will include an offering of reiki, or mindful touch, to guide the body into deep relaxation. Reiki is always optional and will be offered only with student permission.
Traditional Hatha
Hatha is a traditional Indian yoga practice that focuses on the subtle connection between the body and mind. It differs from the popularized Western flow class by moving at a slower pace with more attention placed on pauses between movements to observe the breath. This class will explore different aspects of the limbs of yoga with teachings and practice of asana (physical poses), pranayama (breathwork), pratyahara (inward focus), dharana (concentration), and dhyana (meditation). Beginners and all levels are welcome!
