Class Descriptions

Pilates

Pilates offers an approach to strength and flexibility training with exercises created to strengthen abdominal and back muscles while developing pelvic stability and abdominal control. A great compliment to any yoga practice, it promotes ease and efficiency of movement through focused, slow, careful and controlled exercise. The mind/body awareness developed in Pilates will improve your posture and form in all areas of your fitness program. All levels welcome.

Yin Yoga

The ancient practice of yin yoga provides the perfect balance to your active (yang) flow yoga practice and your active life.  Focusing on long-held floor poses combined with breath work and meditation, yin yoga goes beneath the superficial muscles to target the dense connective tissues of the body – often in the hips, pelvis, and low back – which are difficult to open and can result in both limited flexibility and stagnant energy.  This deep practice is gentle, yet intense, helping students not only to open the body, but also to cultivate the ability to observe and stay with sensation.  All levels welcome.

Hatha Yoga

Open to all levels and recommended for all, our soothing class focuses on an exploration of basic yoga poses and how to connect them through attention to breathing, alignment and mindfulness.  Therapeutic in nature, you will learn techniques to help you gain flexibility, while immersing yourself in a relaxing class that moves at a perfectly slower pace - allowing ample time to enjoy each pose.  Expect lots of deep stretching & lingering in yummy floor poses.  Meditation and relaxation techniques will also be introduced, perfect for stress relief and overall well being.  All levels welcome.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini Yoga is a comprehensive system that includes postures, kriyas, breathwork, mudras, mantras, and more.  Class begins with a warm-up, emphasizing rhythmic movements and asanas.  This is followed by a Kriya – a specific sequence of exercises designed to optimize the body’s systems and harmonize it’s energies.  Each Kriya has a focus – cleansing the liver, calming the nerves, strengthening the heart, alleviating anger, etc.    Every Kundalini Yoga class helps balance all the chakras and systems.  Class winds down with integrative deep relaxation, and a short pranayama or mantra meditation. Kundalini Yoga is appropriate for all levels and ages.  This class is instructed as taught by Yogi Bhajan.

Meditation Class 
Meditation is the art of opening to each moment with calm awareness. Would you like to reduce stress and improve your health and well-being? Well this class would be perfect for you. Just know that the benefits of meditation are endless, so come see how it can work for you. The purpose of this group is to help you experience the joy of meditation in a relaxed and supportive space.

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is a unique yoga style that adapts yoga positions and poses through creative use of a yoga chair. The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of the body. The student is able to warm up the body safely and perform yoga poses with more support and stability. Poses are done seated on the chair or the chair is used for support during standing poses, forward and backward bends, side extensions, balancing, and leg and arm stretches. Chair Yoga is suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions.
