YOGA Class Descriptions

Hatha

Hatha Yoga describes the physical practice of Yoga. In fact, sometimes the name Hatha is used interchangeably with "yoga". The slow pace and simple breathing exercises make it a great place to learn basic poses and become comfortable with the practice

 

Vinyasa / Power Vinyasa

Vinyasa means "breath-synchronized-movement", and Vinyasa yoga is a series of poses that will move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling. Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and sometimes almost dance-like, which explains why it is sometimes referred to as "Vinyasa-flow" or sometimes just "Flow". Power vinyasa includes extensive core and strength work. Faster paced than Hatha

 

Ashtanga

Ashtanga is the name given to the system of yoga taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. This style of Yoga is physically demanding as it involves synchronizing breathing with progressive and continuous series of postures, a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, flexibility and stamina, a light and strong body and a calm mind. Similar pace as Vinyasa

Ashtanga Mysore practice

This is basically the same series as Ashtanga, except that the instructor does not lead the class, thus each person practices at their own level, while the instructor moves from one person to another providing adjustments and assistance one on one. Previous practice of Ashtanga is necessary

 

Restorative Yoga

Extensive use of props and easy to follow instructions and exercises to help ease the mind and relax the body. Positions are held for several minutes.

We recommend this class for any person wishing to relax deeply while stretching safely, new students, participants with certain mobility restrictions (with prior Instructors’ approval), and anyone that needs to unwind and restore from their week in this gentle but effective yoga class

Yoga Basics

This Basics class will safely introduce the beginner to the principles of Yoga and basic poses (Asanas). It will help you integrate your breathing, mind and body and prepare your body to practice more challenging positions and classes. Basic standing and sitting Asanas are introduced, Asanas are held for several breaths to give you time to align and perfect your postures.

Emphasis is on breathing, learning to relax, and as with all Yoga, to increase flexibility and connection of mind and body with breath and movement.

This class is recommended if you are brand new to yoga or returning after a long sabbatical as well as for those who want to review the basic Asanas and principles.

 

Pre Natal Yoga


Prenatal Yoga is for all the mommy’s to be out there. Yoga is an ideal way to stay in shape during your pregnancy. Prenatal yoga will keep you limber, tone your muscles, and improve your balance and circulation, with little if any impact on your joints. This class will also prepare you physically, mentally, and emotionally for the natural process of childbirth. We strongly recommend that you consult with your physician before attending this class.

Recommended after first 12 weeks.
