CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa yoga is about moving through poses with synchronization of the breath. The word “vinyasa” can be translated as “arranging something in a special way.” Our breath is incredibly important; it’s energy. When we hold our breath, we don’t allow our energy to move and we become imbalanced. The flow of vinyasa has a meditative effect on us. As the breath and movement become fluid, our minds can let go and we can breathe more deeply.

Yoga Basics

Yoga Basics class is great for beginners and more experienced yogis alike. Each week a different aspect of the yoga practice will be introduced and explored, and a featured pose will be given a deep dive. Cues for coming into the pose, staying in it, and coming out of it are carefully given. Classes will include standing poses, forward bending, back bending, side stretching, twists, sun salutations, vinyasa, inversions, core work, meditation, pranayama, and more. All levels are welcome.

Slow Flow

Slow Flow allows a person to become familiar with his or her body, create a reflective pause, and create the time to go inward. Slow flow yoga is a therapeutic dance of moving meditation. Slow Flow classes help you find the space between poses while still retaining the gentle rhythm of a flow yoga class.

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is a very gentle style of yoga in which students are not required to get down and up from the ground. There is standing work with the aid of a chair or not, as needed. These classes cover all the basics of yoga, including forward bending, twisting, extension, standing, balancing, and strengthening. Chair yoga is appropriate for people recovering from injury as well as those dealing with other conditions. Appropriate for everyone.

Private and Group Classes

Private classes are offered either in the studio or offsite to accommodate your personal practice and goals. They allow you to work on poses and stretches that are designed for you and your skill level and pace.
