Gentle Yoga
The mind-body connection will be emphasized in this class, where we will work with tuning into our body’s needs and respecting its limitations. Strengthening core muscles in a safe and functional manner will aid in the reduction of musculoskeletal pain. By practicing yoga regularly you can learn tools to optimize your physical health and well-being. Receive individualized attention in this intimate class limited to eight participants.
Hatha Yoga
The essence of yoga is being alive… to breathe, relax, feel, watch and allow. Hatha yoga emphasizes methods of practicing yoga postures (asanas) and energetic breathing exercises (pranayamas) for physical health and well-being. Ha means “Sun” and tha means “moon.” In this class we will balance the sun and moon energies of the physical body. We will explore deepening the breath, allowing the body to find a natural rhythm through connecting the breath with movement. True strength, endurance, and range of motion are developed incrementally and gradually, not by force. The mind-body connection will be emphasized in this class, where we will practice energizing as well as restorative yoga postures. Learn to listen to your body’s needs and to respect its limitations. Experience how the subtle power of yoga works with all aspects of your being- physical, psychological, and spiritual.
Prenatal Yoga
Inside you is an innate wisdom that understands about the very natural process of birth. Linking yoga postures with breath will lead you to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit. The class conducted in a peaceful environment will promote strength and flexibility, improve circulation, aid digestion, exercise the spine and increase overall comfort. An intimate class size allows you to freely discuss any issues, from discomforts and concerns, to the wonderful new changes your body and baby are experiencing. This class will emphasize comfortable and safe yoga poses during pregnancy.
Mommy & Baby Yoga
This class is designed for post-partum women who want to attend yoga with their infant. It’s limited to four women with their babies to provide individual attention and the opportunity for bonding between mother and baby.
This class will help support your efforts to recover from childbirth, rebuild core strength, and teach you how to incorporate exercise, stretching and relaxation into playful time with your baby. Special attention is placed on developing core strength and stability, involving a particular emphasis on strengthening the back, abdomen, and pelvic floor, as well as relieving tension in areas such as the neck, shoulders and back. The babies benefit from the bonding time with mom, baby massages and the stimulating environment with new baby friends!

Yoga for Guys
The physical benefits of yoga are a wonderful way to compliment whatever sport or physical activity you love. Yoga stretches, strengthens, and invigorates the entire body and internal organs. It increases core strength, flexibility, range of motion, and improves balance. Practicing yoga as a form of cross-training will increase your performance and reduce the risk of injury.
This class is designed to alleviate everything from stiff backs and sore muscles to low energy and work-related stress. Attending the weekly Yoga for Guys class can help correct the alignment of the spinal column, and improve your overall posture. You will learn how to breathe deeper, which will give you extra endurance for exercise, sports, or just to have more energy throughout the day.
Additionally, when men do yoga in a men’s yoga class, they are more relaxed, less guarded and more focused. There is a completely different energy in the room. When a man looks around and sees other men doing yoga, he feels more included and accepted: their bodies are similar to his body; their challenges are similar to his challenges.
Vinyasa Classes
Yoga positions are sequenced together to create a vinyasa. Vinyasa is synchronizing the breath with the movement. In the all levels Vinyasa class, we awaken self-awareness of the body in a gentle, mindful, and deep approach to classical yoga. We will work with deepening the breath, allowing the body to find a natural rhythm through connecting the breath with movement. Students will be encouraged to feel alignment from within, observe physical sensations without judgement, and focus into the present moment. Through an alignment oriented balanced sequence we will hold postures to explore and monitor the inner response. This practice encourages a balance between engagement and willful surrender to a deep sense of ease. This is an open level class that is great for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.
