Gentle Hatha
This class is a gentler and slower variation of a Hatha class. Students will focus on aligning and opening the body while breathing mindfully to support them in the process. Props are often used to offer variations and modifications to make postures accessible to all practitioners. In this class, students can expect longer holds, providing you with lots of time to explore the sensations in your body as you're guided through the practice. This class is accessible to everyone and is a great class to begin your journey into Yoga!
Gentle Vinyasa
This beginner flow class introduces students to the rhythmic flow of Vinyasa Yoga with a slower, more accessible pace. Students can expect to gently flow through postures as they lengthen and open their body in this relaxing and soothing class. Modifications of postures are always offered so that Gentle Vinyasa is accessible to all. If you've been wanting to try Vinyasa, but weren't sure if it would be suitable for you, this class is a perfect introduction to this dynamic style of Yoga!
Gentle Asana
Our Gentle Asana class is a traditional yoga experience much like our Gentle Hatha class. You can expect gentle postures held a little longer, providing you with time to meditate as you're guided through the practice. An additional emphasis in this class is on de-pressurizing the physiology & psyche by actively keeping the mind calm, breath-rate slow, heart rate low, and nervous system relaxed. The benefits of this helps alleviate inflammation, thus optimizing physiological and psychological function. Props are often used to offer variations and modifications to make postures accessible to all practitioners.
Hatha
In this class, students can expect to move through a variety of asanas (postures) while paying mindful attention to the alignment of the body as well as their breath. Variations and modifications for postures are always offered and explored to ensure that this class is accessible to all levels of practitioners. These classes offer a variety of both opening and strengthening postures, as Hatha Yoga is a path toward creating balance and uniting opposites.
Rest & Restore
Restorative Yoga is a passive, meditative form of Yoga that makes use of props, your breath and the dreaminess of relaxation to release stress and tension in your body. Unlike some other styles of Yoga, it requires you to hold postures for an extended length of time, typically 5 minutes or more. This class is a calming and soothing experience that will open and tone the energetics of the body, followed by a very peaceful and relaxing savasana. If you’re looking to gently open and deeply relax, this class is for you.
Stretch
Stretch is for anyone needing to open, realign and rebalance their body, and of course, quiet the mind. In this class, students can expect extended holds, combined with the supportive use of props and mindful breathing, to release tightness and tension in the body. You will leave this class feeling relaxed, open and renewed. This class is accessible to all, and everyone is welcome!
Vinyasa
Vinyasa Yoga evolved from traditional Hatha Yoga, linking breath with the movement of the body. It offers students an opportunity to develop both strength and openness in the body, and encourages you to begin to build a deep relationship with your breath. In this class, you can expect to move your body through a dynamic, "flowing" sequence of postures set to the rhythm of your inhales and exhales. Because of its rhythmic pace and continuous movement, a Vinyasa class is best suited to those who can safely move in and out of postures at a quicker pace.
Yin
Yin Yoga opens up and realigns the body and to bring an awareness of inner silence. The sequences of postures (asanas) are meant to stimulate the subtle body; to apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body (tendons and fascia) to promote circulation in the joints and improve flexibility. Postures are done on the floor and are supported by various props and intentional breathing. These postures are long holds (anywhere from 2 - 5 minutes); enough time to quiet the mind and renew your soul.
Pranayama
Pranayama is the ancient Yogic science of respiratory control, with the intention of systemic optimization of both physiology and psyche.
In our weekly Pranayama classes you can expect an inspiring Yoga talk followed by an accessible breathing practice that specializes in cleansing the vital systems, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and inspired.
