CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Beginner Basics Yoga
Beginner Basics Yoga is a great preparation for our All-Levels Classes as you practice simple yoga postures while connecting breath with movement. If you are new to yoga or returning to your practice; this class is perfect for you! This is yoga at a slower pace where you will be guided through the use of props and modifications allowing you to experience new postures while building on the basics. This class provides a focus on body awareness, alignment and relaxation, in turn assisting you to receive the most benefit from a practice you make your own.
All-Levels Yoga
All-Levels classes vary in content and intensity. Classes are taught and modified for students at all levels of experience and ability. Yoga postures, breath work, relaxation, meditation, and yogic philosophy are taught in a variety of formats. Each teacher brings his/her own unique style of teaching to the class.
Restorative Yoga
When we experience chronic stress, our body’s capacity to heal itself is compromised. Restorative Yoga is a gentle healing form of Hatha yoga designed to release deeply held tensions from the body and mind by moving the spine in all directions in gentle, fully supported poses. Through the use of blankets, bolsters, straps, etc., we allow the body to ‘actively’ rest, thereby stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system. Deep restorative work improves range of motion and joint mobility, reduces pain and the effects of stress. Students with injuries, arthritis or other chronic conditions, limitations related to age or size, as well as students with a more vigorous yoga practice will benefit from this practice.
Kripalu Yoga
Kripalu's compassionate practice of self-observation without judgement ("witness consciousness") bringing one fully into an open mind and heart. Kripalu Brings emphasis on being present in your body, sustaining a flowing breath and warming up. This class allows you to choose the level of physical intensity right for your body and will activate the life force of the body that yoga calls Prana. Kripalu offers practical tools to foster psychological & spiritual growth. Leave the class feeling more aware and centered.
Yin Yoga
