Classes
A space for everyone to strengthen, grow and heal.
Vinyasa Basics
This is our beginner class which will focus on basic postures, breath and alignment. Students will explore poses to increase strength, balance, and flexibility. This class encourages you to grow at your own pace and is ideal for those who are new to yoga. Also great for seasoned practioners who would like to deepen their yoga practice.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow synchronizes breath with movement as one pose leads smoothly to the next. Sequencing varies with the instructor and one can expect to move through sun salutations, balancing poses, twists and backbends. Helpful in developing more awareness in both body and breath, you may find greater ease both on and off the mat. This class is open to all levels with options to modify as needed.
Restorative Yoga
An excellent practice for restoring the body after injury, illness or simply to slow down and undo the effects of stress. The postures are held without effort using the support of props such as bolsters, blankets and blocks. No experience is necessary in this non-heated, gentle class that calms and sooths the nervous system. Please bring your own bolster and a blanket to get comfy as you relax into Savasana.
Yin
This is a still, passive practice in which the poses are held longer and the body’s meridian system is opened to allow the flow of chi energy. Yin helps to create space and increase mobility in our hips, pelvis, and spine. Health benefits of yin yoga can include greater emotional well being, organ health, and improved immune system function. This practice is also helpful to find balance in our busy active lives. Please wear layers to allow for changes in body temperature. Yin is suitable for all levels and no prior experience is needed
Mat Pilates
Pilates is a method of movement that trains the body and mind to build lean toned muscles while promoting realignment, strength, agility, flexibility and mind to body connections. Joseph Pilates, the founder of the Pilates Method, developed mat exercises that were intended to rehabilitate the injured and soon after became an effective regiment to staying fit and healthy.
The exercises in this all levels class require you to engage your whole body. You will challenge your muscles in a variety of ways and strengthen the core muscles of the pelvis, abdomen and back to enhance balance, trunk strength and flexibility.
Yoga Core Fusion
Yoga Core Fusion blends traditional vinyasa yoga poses with strength training moves excellent for building core stability. Breath work will be incorporated as part of the flow. This class will have a focus on abdominal strengthening and balance sequences. Excellent for toning and improving cardiovascular health.
