Flow Yoga
Flow Yoga, also known as Vinyasa yoga, is a fluid style that links movement with breath for an intense mind-body workout. These classes are offered in varying degrees or levels of vigor; poses are linked together to create a seamless flow of movement, balancing movement, strengthening, and stretching to rejuvenate the body and clear the mind. Flow classes will help you to build strength, increase endurance, create flexibility, and release tension. Students are offered options to modify and/or advance the postures so you can get exactly what you need out of the practice. Appropriate for all levels.
Class tip: Each class is unique and each teacher is different, however every practice is intended to be a complete experience, leaving you centered, grounded, and refreshed. We suggest trying several different classes to find your flow!
Gentle Yoga
Our Gentle classes offer a gentle approach to more familiar poses. They are designed for students who prefer a slower paced class. This is a slow, regenerative practice that relieves tension using unwinding stretches and strengthens the body through mindful movement. Props, modifications, and teacher guidance will be offered to assist you to be most comfortable. Appropriate for all levels.
Gong Yoga Nidra
Gong Yoga Nidra includes the use of the gong in the practice of Yoga Nidra. Yoga Nidra is loosely translated as “yogic sleep”. This restorative “inner body” yoga uses a series of deep relaxation techniques and guided visualizations designed to quiet your mind, soothe your nervous system and restore balance to the mind-body system. Utilizing the gong in the practice allows for an even deeper experience of relaxation, feeling centered, and restored.
The class may begin with a few minutes of gentle postures and breathing exercises to prepare the body for relaxation and the remainder of the class will be spent in a supported savasana.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is a steady and deliberate practice with an emphasis on breath with mindful movement to slowly improve flexibility and peace of mind. In this class, you will focus on building a strong foundation and proper alignment. Each posture is maintained for multiple breaths, giving you time to explore, examine and experience the more subtle layers of your yoga practice, cultivating steadiness and ease. Appropriate for all levels.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini yoga classes use breath, movement, mantra, and meditation to heal the mind, body, and spirit. Each class consists of a kriya which is a series of postures taught in sequence to produce a desired effect. Teachers choose from hundreds of kriyas designed to help students deepen their awareness, connect with their creative energy, open the heart, stimulate the immune, glandular, and nervous system, and balance the chakras. Appropriate for all levels
Class Tip: The best way to get acquainted with Kundalini Yoga is to try out as many teachers and classes as possible. You’ll experience a great variety of exercises from class to class, so going to several different classes will give you a good idea of what the practice is all about.
Power Flow
If you are looking for a practice that will challenge you physically and mentally, this is the class for you. More physically challenging than our all-levels Flow Yoga this class incorporates conscious breath-work, vinyasa flows, sun salutations, and balance poses to stretch and strengthen the body. The instructor will provide opportunities to try advanced strength building sequences, balance, and inversion poses. Recommended for students with a consistent yoga practice and understanding of yoga postures and alignment. Not for beginners.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow and deep practice that involves allowing the mind to rest while the body holds an accessible stretch to target the connective tissues and joints of the hips, thighs and lower spinal area. The postures are all practiced on the floor and each is held for about three to five minutes. The benefits include increased joint health, flexibility, and improved circulation. Yin Yoga should not be considered a gentle or restorative class. Appropriate for all levels.
