Absolute Beginners:
This series is designed exclusively for new students and students lost in a regular yoga class. You will learn the fundamentals of yoga postures and breathing techniques. Gain insight into the principles of yoga philosophy and cultivate inner body awareness to guide your practice. The supportive environment of this class will provide you with the necessary foundation to develop a safe and rewarding yoga practice.
Hatha basics:
An introduction to yoga. A break down of yoga poses, designed to reduce stress, increase energy, stretch and strengthen muscles and encourage mindfulness of breath. Each instructor offers their own unique touch which may include standing, balancing, seated, and inverted postures.
Vinyasa flow: Appropriate for all levels.
An energizing full body work out. A version of Hatha Yoga that is more aerobic than a traditional class. This class combines sun salutations with standing postures. A great mix of stretching and strengthening. Each pose flows fluidly and dynamically into the next connecting the breath with the movement. Modifications will be provided to enhance flexibility, alignment, and strength in order to make this class accessible for all. Connecting the breath with the movement of the body during the flow of yoga also helps to deepen the stretch.
Yin: APPROPRIATE FOR The sore, stiff and Tired.
This series will provide work on flexibility and relaxation. A meditative practice, which addresses the “yin” parts of the body; the connective tissues. Unlike the muscles, defined as the “yang” parts of the body that are stimulated and strengthened by movement and repetition, the “yin” parts, or connective tissues, respond and grow stronger when subject to gentle sustained stimulation. In terms of yoga practice, this means holding floor postures for 3 to 5 minutes while working on relaxing the muscles completely. Learn to functionally and intelligently release tension and restricted mobility from sports, weight lifting, or simply neglect – and witness the results as you dissolve stress patterns and awaken to a stronger, more flexible, body and mind.
