Ashtanga Yoga
Builds inner warmth in a moving meditation by practicing poses in a continual flow, like pearls strung together by the breath.
Mixed Vinyasa
The soul is here for its own JOY. Rumi. This uplifting class fuses meditation, breath and posture to release tensions and to enliven the body with prana, the universal life force. Through joyously joining breath to movement, flowing from posture to posture we attain a natural state of dynamic balance. This class is ideal for the yoga student who enjoys moving and for whom the practice of yoga is and act of devotion.
Gentle Yoga
For students who are learning that you don’t have to go 100 miles an hour to find transformation. This class is gentle yet focused, allowing students to work therapeuticly with yoga poses and breathing. Get stronger through slowing down. All levels welcome.
Intermediate/Advanced Yoga
Intermediate Yoga is a more challenging class for students who have been practicing for a few years. It's a thorough and energetic warm up followed by sustained and deep posture with an emphasis on the breath.
Level I Yoga
Explores the fundamentals of yoga poses. Learn how to breathe into the body and move deeply from within. Practice movements with consciousness to build strength, balance and flexibility-and inner peace.
Mixed Level Yoga (Hatha)
Poses for all levels to challenge and play our edge. Primary Series: Leads students through a set series of heat-generating Ashtanga postures, each linked with breath.
Mixed level & Restorative
This class begins with a vigorous flowing practice to generate tapas (heat) and connect with the breath. The second half of the class is restorative and meditative in nature, to begin to quiet both the body and mind. Students of all levels can deepen their practice with explorations of inversions, pranayam (breath work), mudras, and meditation.
Prenatal Yoga
Practicing yoga in pregnancy helps to strengthen and stretch muscles, release tension and maintain good posture. Prenatal yoga also teaches you to relax with cues and keep a positive outlook while clearing the mind of the stresses associated with pregnancy and motherhood. In class you will learn yoga exercises that help prepare for labor, delivery and motherhood as well as breathing techniques useful in labor.
Sangha Sunday**
“Sangha” means “community.” On Sunday evenings, join us for Kirtan (chanting), meditation and a lesson or discussion from Yoga philosophy.
**There is no fee for this class. A suggested donation of $10 is requested ($5 for yoga teachers from any studio), but no one will be turned away for inability to pay.
Slow Yoga
For beginners and experienced yoga students, Slow Yoga aims to bring together the body, mind and spirit through slower movements, breath and silence to develop strength, improve tone and heighten awareness. Class includes centering, warm-ups and a brief vinyasa (flow), then a series of sustained postures, followed by deep relaxation.
Note: This is not a Gentle, Restorative or Therapeutic Yoga class; positions are standard yoga asanas, not modified postures.
Introduction to Inversions
Are you interested in trying inversions, but perhaps feel a bit intimidated? Are you already comfortable being upside-down, but might like to move away from the wall? Please join us as we explore and enhance our inversion practice and experience the joy of turning overselves over. Class will begin with a thorough warm-up, and then instruction in inversions tailored to students' needs and interests. All levels are welcome.
(Contraindications: Inversions are NOT recommended for people currently experiencing heart problems, high blood pressure, glaucoma or other eye problems such as detached retina, recent or chronic head, neck or spinal injuries, pregnancy or menstruation. If you have questions about what would be appropriate for you, please consult with your doctor first. Your health and safety matter to us. Thank you.)
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a passive yet challenging style of Yoga that targets deep connective tissue and Chinese meridian lines in a way that leaves one steady, refreshed and contemplative. Long, cold holds are employed in order to influence the harder to stretch tissues within the body. In this class, we will experience profound calm while influencing kidney, liver and gall bladder chi (prana). Yin is a natural and needed balancing counterpart to the Yang styles that are prevalent currently. Please join us for this grounding and meditative practice, facilitated by Cypresse Emery.
