Restorative

 

This type of yoga is a practice of passive healing. By allowing time for longer asanas (postures or poses) using props such as blocks, bolsters, blankets, etc. and deeper breathing, restorative yoga helps elicit the relaxation response . This response can help slow breathing, reduce blood pressure, and produce a feeling of calm and increased well-being. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly. This class is suitable for all levels.

 

Slow Flow Vinyasa

 

Synchronize breath with movement giving every area of your body some love and attention all while building strength and increasing mobility.

 

Gentle Yoga

 

This 75 minute class will incorporate pranayama (breathing), asanas (postures/flow) and relaxing, guided meditations at times. You will explore the variety of poses and gentle flows. There will be a focus on the alignment of the pose and then adapt it to your unique practice. When you are comfortable in a pose it allows you to breathe deep and soften. Only when we are relaxed and breathing in a pose, whether standing or sitting, can energy flow. Once we open up and energy is flowing…then we really feel good and gain awareness of our body and our practice. It will be the breath that will walk us through the practice. As we bring greater awareness to our breath, it helps us to stay in the present and leave the outside world behind. That is the one of many goals of yoga…living in the present moment. This class is available to all levels and all are encouraged to attend!

 

Power

 

Looking for the perfect combo of sweat and cool-down? Look no further! We’ll start off with strong poses, moving at a fairly brisk pace, allowing you to sweat off the stress of the day. Then, we’ll transition into a generous sequence of stretching, before finishing off with savasana to shift you into bedtime mode. Because this class will be starting off at a fast pace, we require yoga experience and familiarity with basic poses. Experience required.

 

Deep Stretch Yoga

 

These classes are a great place to start for beginners as well as a great way to compliment and deepen your practice. Deep stretch yoga involves moving through poses to improve flexibility and release tension. It is a slower paced class where poses are held for longer periods of time to promote opening, lengthening and an opportunity to explore. This class will help you feel lighter and more open and can leave you feeling relaxed and calm.
