          _Class Descriptions:

          Yin Yoga: Yin yoga is designed to stretch the connective tissues, ligaments, tendons, and joints in the body. Poses are typically held for 3-5 minutes while the muscles are relaxed. Postures are done primarily seated or lying down and target the lower back, hips, pelvis, and legs. This quiet practice allows for plenty of time to relax and turn inward. All levels welcome.

          Yin Yang Yoga: Experience the best of both worlds, first delving into the feminine side of our bodies and minds (Yin) through the use of long-held, passive poses designed to cultivate mindfulness, spaciousness and Metta (loving-kindness) towards ourselves. Then slowly allow yourself to move into the masculine side (Yang) through active, muscularly held poses all the while maintaining our connection deep inside.  This class will provide benefit and challenge for all levels of practitioners.

          Gentle Yoga: Gentle Yoga classes, also based on Classical yoga and incorporating all the koshas, does so through more gentle movements of the body, focusing on the areas we hold most of our tension; neck and shoulders, lower back and hips.  We work through the body systematically loosening and lubricating all the joints to provide greater range of motion from head to toe.

          Vinyasa I: Enjoy a flow-style class in a lightly heated (78 to 82 degrees) room. Sun salutations will form the foundation of the class, and students will begin to learn inversions and backbends. By incorporating sun salutations as well as seated and reclining postures, this class guarantees to build some internal heat and some mild dripping!

          Vinyasa II: This sun salutation-based class focuses on breath-connected movements for the first half of the class. Sequences are designed to challenge the body, stretch the muscles, and increase the sweat and cleansing factors in a 90-degree room. Includes arm balances, inversions, backbends, and other advanced poses. Vinyasa II juices cardio, tones and strengthens muscles, builds bone density, improves joint health, flexibility, and balance. Some Vinyasa I experience is recommended. Bringing a towel to class is recommended.


          PowerFresh Flow: This challenging practice offers creative sequences to cultivate concentration, strength, stamina and confidence while purifying your breath. We will explore intermediate/advanced variations of postures for you to play your edge while finding balance, stability and alignment as you reach your true inner potential. This class is practiced in a heated room (90 degrees) and previous yoga experience is strongly recommended along with a solid foundation of sun salutations and basic postures.
