Class Descriptions
Align
Align yoga classes will focus on correct alignment and the anatomy of poses as you move through slow paced, guided sequences. Holding the posture for a longer period of time will also allow for adjustments and hands on assists. This class is designed to be a satisfying journey that helps promote personal power and self-awareness of your body. This is a great class for anyone starting a yoga practice or for those that want to slow things down and reconnect.
Restorative
A wonderful way to relieve stress! Restorative yoga is a deep, relaxing, slow- paced practice focused on stillness and stretch. Rather than deeply stretching or strengthening the muscles, this practice relies on the heavy use of props such as bolsters, blankets and blocks. The props are used to comfortably support the body in order to release physical tension and calm the nervous system. This practice is sometimes woven into a slow flow which is noted as Slow Restorative Flow. Join us as we melt the body and ease the mind.
Slow Hatha Flow
This class will flow through yoga postures at a slower pace. The poses are held for a longer period of time, focusing more on connecting movement with the breath. A practice that will allow you to relax and reset, leaving the studio with a clearer mind. This class is great for beginners, with several modifications offered throughout the practice.
Flow to Yin
This class combines the slow flow practice above with all the things you love about a yin practice. The class will begin with movement at a slow pace, focusing on connecting with the breath and then guide you through a series of sequences. The class will end with a yin portion where you will hold the postures for a longer period of time, allowing you to release the muscles you have just worked, calming the nervous system and quieting the mind. This class is a lovely combination of yin and yang!
Yin
Yin Yoga is a very slow paced practice, focused on stillness and quieting the mind while also creating space in the body. A practice that can help heal both the body and the mind. This style of yoga involves holding seated and reclined postures for a longer period of time to access deeper layers of connective tissue to release tension. Yin is a practice for all levels and is a perfect way to balance other styles of your yoga practice.
Vinyasa
Our Vinyasa classes are a creative flow of yoga postures woven together while focusing on the connection of breathe and movement. The class will begin with breath work, followed by a series of sequences allowing for the breath to help guide you from one pose to the next. An excellent practice to build strength while moving mindfully, all levels are welcome.
Tone and Flow
Tone and Flow combines all of the elements from a Pilates class with a Vinyasa flow practice. This class will move from strengthening exercises to periods of stretching with movements of yoga flows. A mat based cardio focused class that may utilize light weights, Pilates balls and resistance bands. This class is designed to light up your body and core in a mindful, fun way.
Stretch and Strengthen
Let’s take our Tone and Flow down a notch, Stretch and Strengthen is a way to build strength at a much slower pace while still staying connected with the breath. With this class you will move through a slow flow practice adding in light weights, Pilates balls and resistance bands. This class will end with a longer period of stretching in order to find that much needed release after all of your hard work!
Pilates
A class focused on small movements that make a big impact! Pilates is a class focused on controlled, mindful movements that help build strength, balance and flexibility. With the use of the breath and body awareness, this class is a perfect full body work out. A mat Pilates class that may utilize light weights, Pilates balls, resistance bands, ankles weights and Pilates rings! Come move to the beat of the music and leave feeling stronger!
Prenatal
Pregnancy is a beautiful time to begin or dive deeper into your yoga practice. Labor is a full body work out and this class will help to strengthen your body in preparation for childbirth through sitting, standing, and balancing postures. This practice will also help guide you to a clearer mind during what can be a very uncertain time. The class will begin with a time of sharing and end with a final relaxation. All levels and all trimesters are welcome. A separate prenatal membership is available for this class only along with prenatal workshops.
Sound Bath
A meditative experience where students will be bathed in sound waves by different instruments. This is not a physical practice, it is a full body listening experience where sound is used to help heal both the body and the mind with vibrations. The class will consist of quartz crystal singing bowls, Himalayan bowls, a gong, drums, and chimes. The practice will be combined with yoga Nidra, a guided meditation leading you to deep rest while still present on your mat. Bolsters, blankets, blocks, and eye pillows will be provided. Come feel the power of sacred sound flowing through the body, releasing unwanted energy as you soothe your mind, body and spirit.
