Styles of Yoga Offered
Vinyasa
Includes continuous movement with poses flowing in tandem with breath. Rather than focusing on getting into poses, Krisnamacharya, who popularized vinyasa, believed that movement between poses was just as important. This breath and body relationship works as a tool in focusing a distracted mind and releases tension from the body.
Hatha
Focuses on poses that combine the yin and yang, masculine and feminine energies. Classes typically consist of poses held for longer to create heat in the body, followed by cooling and relaxing poses. Hatha Yoga cleanses the mind and body while providing benefits of increased strength, balance, and a calm clarity.
Yin with Marma
Yin yoga targets muscles and tissues deeper beneath the surface by holding poses anywhere between 5-20 minutes at a time. NEVER stretching to the point of pain. The practice cultivates mental and physical stillness, along with injury prevention, increased range of motion and blood flow that aids in tissue and muscle repair. This class pairs various poses with acupoints using fingers, thumbs, or other tools, to promote additional energy or pranic flow and healing.
Restorative
Provides a deep, quiet, relaxation for the mind and body. Passive poses are held anywhere from 5-10 minutes in seated or lying down positions supported by props.
Meditation
Uses techniques to calm the mind and body while increasing and improving the flow of prana (life force). It is a non-denominational practice focused on love, inclusion, and acceptance.
Alignment (90 mins only)
Break down the mechanics of each pose and learn about the loops and spirals of the body to bring your yoga practice into complete alignment.
