Gentle Yoga is a class structured around thoughtfully rejuvenating the body. Yoga props such as blankets, blocks, bolsters, chairs and straps are often used for safe practice, and to allow the body to fully achieve each position in a body-sustaining way. Treat yourself, allowing gentle flow sequences to move you from one centering asana to another while linking each movement with your breath. This class is held at a slower pace and focuses on stretching all areas of the body, while releasing stress and tension from joints and muscles.

 

Vinyasa Flow involves connecting the breath, body, mind, and spirit through movement and meditation. The intention is to help establish balance, flexibility, and an understanding that we can move through life with kindness, compassion, and grace for ourselves and each other. A theme of building an understanding of one’s own person will be emphasized utilizing yoga postures (asanas), breathing, and concentration/meditation in a mindful, accessible, and repeatable manner.

 

Weekend Wakeup Yoga explores the connection between mind, body and spirit as we breathe, relax, feel, watch and allow our inner self to be our personal guide. Invite yourself to experience a variety of body-enriching sequences. Join us as we discover the deep, nourishing satisfaction of treating ourselves and our practice with compassion and gratitude.

 

Slow-Flow Yoga is where we take time, our nervous systems relax, our minds slow down, our muscles become supple, our breath deepens – our inner chemistry shifts towards a biological balance, which one experiences as peace, tranquility, relaxation,  and emerging bliss. Slow Flow Yoga is based on aligning with the fluid rhythm and intelligence of your body. 

 

Using light hand weights, Yoga for Strength increases overall body strength and tones your muscles too. This cardio-strength based practice incorporates yoga postures within a fitness format mixing in strength-training exercises like squats, lunges, bicep curls, and core, to challenge your body.  Each class begins with a centering and ends with a period of relaxation.

​

Restorative Yoga is the practice of the asanas (poses) using the support of props to hold the poses for a longer period of time. The practice encourages physical, mental and emotional relaxation by balancing the nervous system’s optimal energy flow.

​

Sunrise Vinyasa is an early morning practice that can help to rinse out that morning muscle stiffness, get the breath on track, and harness peace and energy to take on the day. The practice will focus on coordinating breath and movement while establishing flexibility, balance, and strength. This is an opportunity to wake up the mind and warm up with gentle sun salutations before finding a more dynamic flow, ending with a period of rest at the end of class to set an intention for the day ahead. 

​

Gentle Flow is a more mellow and accessible version of Vinyasa Flow. Gentle Flow is perfect for beginners and experienced yogis alike looking for an extra calming and nourishing practice that will include simple flow sequences to warm up the body, build strength and balance with slower-paced movements. There will be an opportunity to take additional time and care for holding restorative postures towards the end of class. All levels are welcome, and variations will be offered to make the practice work for you no matter where you are on your yoga journey.
