Class Descriptions

gentle vinyasa prana flow yoga
In this class you will flow through hip openers, moon salutations and back bends which has a cooling and calming affect on the mind and body. In this gentle vinyasa flow yoga we draw from the rejuvenating energy of the moon where we will flow with a steady, calming and meditative rhythm. Enjoy a lunar approach to yoga-calming, fluid and connected in meditative and slower paced rhythm.  

intro to yoga
A beginner yoga class for the total newbie to yoga. We review breath, alignment and introduce sun salutations, basic standing and seated postures.  

rejuvenating flow yoga
This class is designed to serve the practitioner who wants to flow with the gentle grace of the breath. Perfect for those who are recovering from an injury, those who are pregnant and those who are seeking a softer practice. Rejuvenating Flow Yoga is restorative, healing, calming and will increase flexibility and mobility. Calm your mind, body and soul.

yin yoga
Yin Yoga is the balancing practice to Yang (active) Yoga. It is Yoga for the joints, not the muscles, moving the intention of the practice deeper into the connective tissues of the ligaments, bones and fascia. These are the deep Yin tissues of the body, relative to the more superficial Yang tissues of muscles and skin. Yin Yoga opens up these deep, dense, rarely touched areas generally targeting the hips, the pelvis and the lower spine. Chest, shoulder openers and twists are also included. After you have experienced this serene but powerful practice, you will feel an openness and lightness in your body like never before.

community yoga
A hatha inspired class that takes you through a series of postures with energizing sun salutations mixed within. A perfect start to your Sunday morning. The intent of a "Community" class is to provide a class that everyone can afford to enjoy. This class is always $5.

energizing flow
Let go of your tension and stress. Release the knots in your body and let your breath flow deeply; yet with ease. This class is a slow vinyasa flow, allowing you to listen to your body and move deeply into your inner strength and stillness. Follow the guidance of your breath, gently flowing from one asana into the next, to build your focus and still the mind. Fall into bliss with a guided deep relaxation.

pilates for all levels
Pilates exercises engage the body and the mind through a series of controlled movements that will lengthen and strengthen your muscles without adding bulk. These movements improve the mind-body connection, alignment and posture, mental alertness while helping to develop a strong core. In this class some props will be used including resistance bands, foam rollers and blocks.
