Class Descriptions

Gentle Yoga
In Gentle Yoga we practice breathing exercises, relaxation techniques, and physical movements and postures that nourish the body. 
GENTLE STRENGTH & Balance
 Gentle Strength and Balance is yoga for those who want to build strength in a gentle way, using basic standing postures and working on proper alignment. Standing balance postures will be heavily focused on in order to build more strength and increase balance. Gentle core strengthening and twisting will take place, as well, often from the standing position. Some floor work will be done, with comfortable options given to transition from standing down to the floor, but the majority of class will be in standing poses.
MEDITATE STRETCH & RESTORE
This class is broken up into 20 minutes sections of each. Typically class begins with meditation, seated or laying down. Meditation styles vary each week - visualization, silent, or peacefully guided. Gentle stretching comes next followed by restorative poses. This class does requires props. If you practice virtually please have a stack of blankets and kitchen towel, or yoga bolster and strap, near before class time. This class offering is available and appropriate for all levels, beginner to advanced.

*This popular class is offered as an evening special event of 75 minutes frequently. Check out our Series and Events page to find the next offering!
SLOW FLOW YOGA
A slower paced vinyasa class teaching strengthening and toning postures (asanas) put together in a sequence that flows, (vinyasa) while observing your breath. This class helps the body to build strength and stability, as well as bring mindfulness to movement and breath. Great for beginners and experienced yogis, or those that would like to build flowing sequences into their practice.
VINYASA FLOW YOGA
Vinyasa Yoga is a practice that builds strength and flexibility through active movement, including Sun Salutations, standing postures like lunges and Warrior 1 & 2, and balance poses. We practice breathing techniques to help in physical activity as well as to help clear the mind and find relaxation. Beginners are welcome to try out this class, if you prefer to learn things at a slower pace, you might start with a Gentle class.
VIGOROUS VINYASA
A flowing class that generates heat, strength, and power while allowing time to be present within each pose. Every month there will be a set series of asanas to focus and build upon. This is also a class that offers different levels of intensity so no matter where you're that day, you can feel the vigorous flow of energy from within. This class has modifications available from beginners to experienced yogis.
Yin/YANG YOGA
Yin Yoga is generally a slower paced practice in which poses are passively held for longer periods of time to work on the deep, dense connective tissues and joints within the body. Yang Yoga is a bit more heated and strengthening to build up and develop stamina and flexibility similar to a regular Hatha class. Together the two create heat and cooling, build strength and experience a full release, Yin and Yang. Expect to have the class split up into two segments to experience either Yin or Yang fully and completely on their own.
MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY YOGA
This class is a set sequence we practice every week. The sequence is designed to move energy for clearing stagnation in the body and clearing chatter in the mind.  We begin with standing postures, moving sequences, and balance postures, and move into more grounding, relaxing and restorative postures to help you connect with your physical and mental well-being. No experience necessary!
SUNRISE SIVANANDA
Sunrise Sivananda will focus on 12 basic asanas. Each class we will practice engaging your life force energy (Prana), which will enhance the flexibility of the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. During this morning practice you will feel balance and stimulate circulation throughout each part of your body. This class will guarantee you a feeling of freedom, and revival!
Advanced sivananda 
Advanced Sivananda will have a similar format to our other Sivananda class, however, this will focus on more challenging inversions such as head stand and crow pose that are found in the more traditional style of practice. This weekly class will be a more challenging practice for our advanced yogi's, or any yogi wanting to learn these specific inversions.
