Classes

This slower-paced 60-minute class will break down common yoga postures and sequences in a flowing format, while allowing for longer holds in the poses and deliberate transitions between poses. Emphasis is placed on the foundational postures, deepening the student’s knowledge of alignment and action in each pose. Recommended for those brand new to yoga or those beginning a fitness routine.

Vinyasa I is a slower-paced class, focusing on connecting breath with movement and creating correct structural alignment in the poses.

This invigorating form of yoga focuses on connecting breath with flowing transitions between sustained pose holds. Students are encouraged to work their edge or back off when appropriate. It's not always about physical difficulty, but the degree of quietness, gentleness and sensitivity you instill in your practice! Make it powerful by honoring what you're feeling and experiencing.

A welcoming class that combines pranayama, a balanced vinyasa flow, and moments of stillness. Move, breathe and release before settling into deep relaxation and meditation.

In this class, students will learn basic principles of alignment in each yoga posture according to the guidelines set forth by the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. There is not a "one size fits all" approach to alignment, but rather determining what works for each body, with an emphasis on the experience and action in a pose versus what it should "look like." Although each pose will be approached individually (not within a vinyasa format,) the practice will be challenging and rigorous, and will demand concentration and specific effort from each student.

Alignment yoga uses props such as blocks, straps, and chairs to attain precise placement of the body in the asana to maximize the benefit and therapeutic value. The use of the yoga wall will also be included in this class to further explore the poses. This class will be structured to adapt to all students, using variations of each pose for different levels of experience and ability.

This class will use the application of an alignment yoga practice to address students’ specific health and physical challenges that may not normally be addressed in a group class. The goal is to alleviate or reduce symptoms such as pain and muscle tension and stiffness, and also work proactively to restore balance in the body by using presence and awareness as techniques for healing. Alignment principles are not a "one size fits all," but rather an approach to see what is appropriate for your body, and stressing the experience and action in a pose, rather that what a pose should "look like." This class is good for those new to yoga or those who wish to take a more deliberate and intentional approach to their practice. The challenge in this practice can come from learning new poses or in asking the body to pay attention in a new way.

The class will maintain a slower pace and have a primary focus on using props such as chairs, straps, and blocks, to allow all students to access the benefits of various asanas, with modifications for any physical limitations. The goal is to increase range of motion, build strength and flexibility, and work with the specific challenges of each student. The class content will be determined largely by the individuals participating in the class.

Please note that this class is not a substitute for medical care and oversight of an injury or illness. Students should have the approval from their physician to participate in a group exercise class.

The class will include standing poses, backbends, and inversions. This class is a great way to deepen your practice and experience poses in a new way!

Yin Yoga involves holding poses for several minutes at a time in order to the stretch the deep connective tissue around the joints; gravity helps intensify the stretch. Yin may include the use of props. The goal of Yin is to bring the body to optimal condition.
Restorative Yoga is a very gentle practice that involves holding supported poses using props and long holds to passively open the body and achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation. The goal of Restorative is to bring the body back to “normal.”

Hatha simply refers to the practice of physical yoga postures, and in today's yoga community, hatha yoga classes veer away from the rigorous breath-to-movement flows more commonly found in Vinyasa and Ashtanga yoga, and focus on flowing the breath in static postures to be with them longer. You can expect an accommodating practice full of conscious movement, static postures, mindful breath work and a manageable pace. This dynamic allows for a greater focus on alignment and mindful breathing, making this practice accessible to all students of all levels.

This is truly a class for everyone! Movements are slow and the postures are held for a longer time, sometimes up to a minute. This pace will allow you to deeply experience the practice and connect with your breath.
