- Basic Hatha -
Traditional asanas are practiced at a slower pace with more resting time in between
postures. Close attention is paid to alignment suitable for your body.
Appropriate for all levels, especially those who want to work on
posture alignment.
- Gentle Hatha -
Yoga is beneificial for every body. Whether you have movement restrictions or full mobiltiy this lesson is sure to provide what your body and mind need to become a more balanced you.
- Happy Hour -
Core strength is essential for proper body
alignment in your yoga asana (posture) practice. In this lesson, we
build the core, as well as the arms and legs. We also strengthen the
muscles surrounding the knee joint to prevent injury from occuring
during yoga. By developing an even greater level of body awareness and
solidity, you can take your yoga practice to the next level.
- Hatha/Slow Flow -
Exploring traditional asanas, the focus
is on breathing, mindfulness, and alignment. The intention is to honor
your body, accept where you are, and move forward from there. The
approach is gentle to even the most challenging postures. This lesson
incorporates Slow Vinyasa, connecting a sequence of movements and
asanas with your breath.
- Introdution to Yoga Series -
Learn traditional postures from the feet up. Get information and learn proper alignment for your body, learn to release habits that are not serving your physical body; slouching, sway back, flat feet, over arched feet, etc. Get an amazing amount of knowledge so you will feel confident taking your practice to the level of your choice.
- Mommy and Baby -
This postpartum class allows your baby to be with you during your yoga
practice, as you regain your strength and flexibility. Emphasis will be on
strengthening your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. The atmosphere
is relaxed and you are encouraged to meet the needs of your baby
whether that means feeding, changing or walking your baby. Class format will
vary.
- Pranayama -
Breathing is a necessary part of life, yet most of
the time we do not even think about it. Learn to become aware of your
breath through the practice of fundamental yogic breathing techniques.
Increase your prana (life force energy) and create more oxygen rich
blood flowing through your body and to your brain. Reduce toxins in the
body by learning proper breathing.
- Prenatal -
This class is modified for pregnancy. Experience a challenging practice, strengthen your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Realize the benefits of making sounds and become comfortable making them. Learn breathing techniques that activate the parasympathetic nervous system; the “relaxation response” that brings steadiness and calm to your yoga practice and childbirth.
- Restorative -
Using props, you relax into postures for prolonged periods of time. The stillness allows your body to rejuvenate, your nervous system to calm, and your whole being to feel the peace which is your natural state. You feel refreshed and renewed as your body and soul begin to "wake up". Pranayama is integrated into this lesson. Essential oils are used to enhance the setting and mood. Hands-on adjustments along with gentle massage add a personal touch.
