Class Descriptions

Ease into your body and calm your mind with this gentle flow class. A slow-paced sequence that is deeply connected to breath and balanced with gentle stretches will awaken your body and allow your energy to flow.

Hatha Yoga focuses on breath, peace, harmony and bodily awareness through coordinating breath and movement. Ha means sun and tha means moon, and is said to follow the same concept as the yin-yang. Hatha represents the balance of opposing energies: hot and cold, fire and water, male and female, positive and negative. Hatha yoga attempts to balance mind and body via physical exercises (Asanas), controlled breathing (Pranayama), and the calming of the mind through relaxation and meditation. Asanas teach poise, balance & strength and are practiced to improve the body’s physical health and clear the mind in preparation for meditation in the pursuit of enlightenment.

Seasonal balancing unites the wisdom of Ayurveda with yoga to create a practice that is designed to restore balance. Class sequences consider the season and the time of day to help restore balance physically, energetically, and mentally. This unique class is unlike any class you have taken before!

Poses Pens & Inner Peace is an inspiring class which combines the practice of yoga with the practice of writing. Classes include a short meditation, gentle movement, and journaling prompts that serve as a tool for self-reflection. The intention of this class is to offer participants a deep inner exploration with guidance and support to dig deep. There is the option to share with the group, or save your reflection just for yourself. Whether you share or not, this class builds a strong community who supports each other in opening to creative energy and tapping into the stories held deep in the body and mind. By tapping in, participants release trapped energies and open to inner peace.

Vinyasa can be a strong moving practice. Linking breath with movement, we cultivate the awareness of how the body moves with breath. Vinyasa is a great class for building strength and balance. Class is never the same thing twice. We will find new places and spaces each time we come to the mat by getting deep in to the muscles. Our bodily movement will create heat, allowing muscles to cool into a longer stronger shape with longer holding.

For those who want deep release and relaxation, Yoga Bliss may be the perfect yoga. Participants are led to deeply stretch and relax in yin poses followed by a guided yoga nidra, otherwise known as yoga sleep. The icing on the cake? Shavasana (rest) is infused with Reiki healing. Students leave this class feeling calm, peaceful, and rested. If you enjoy this class, be sure to sign up! It’s only on the schedule Fall, Winter, and Spring.

A 45-minute, all levels class, designed to increase mobility and reduce tension throughout the body. This class is ideal for anyone who experiences muscle and joint tension due to repeated motion or long periods of stagnation throughout their day.

Most forms of Yoga practiced today are Yang, they emphasize muscular movement and contraction. By contrast, Yin Yoga targets the connective tissue of the body, helping to increase flexibility and softness. Yin postures are held several minutes at a time, but don’t let this scare you. Yin is defined as soft, hidden and slow. This is a great way to unwind the mind and muscles. This type of practice complements the more muscular styles of Yoga and is a great aid for learning to sit in meditation.

The bridge between Hatha and Vinyasa, often called beginner vinyasa or vinyasa 1, this class moves a little slower and softer than vinyasa. Slow Flow Vinyasa has been designed to bridge the gap between slower hatha classes and faster vinyasa or ashtanga classes.

Slow Flow Vinyasa allows each student to flow through a series of moderately challenging poses. Each series has been created to work through lines in the body building strength, flexibility, and breaking through energy stagnation. Once the lines are open, prana (chi, ki or life force) can wash through the body increasing harmony and health!
