Class Descriptions: **MOST CLASSES RUN 60- 75 MINS.**
** note: classes are all levels. ALL poses and sequences can be modified to be harder or easier to suit your specific energy levels. Ultimately yoga is a personal practice, therefore it is up to the practitioner to find her/ his own edge. Stepping mindfully out of a comfort zone not only opens the body, but the mind as well:)
Vinyasa Flow- Vinyasa style class with a wide variety of breath-linked postures from the primary and secondary series from Ashtanga yoga. Every class offers a different and unique blend of breath-based postures that help participants gain greater strength, balance for the entire body and mind. This invigorating practice builds strength, flexibility and heat the body, and calms and cools the mind.
H.I.I.T Core Yoga- This class blends High Intensity Interval Training with Yoga. 1/2 hr to 40 mins of timed interval exercise that'll challenge your mind, muscles and lungs, then a series of yoga poses to stretch you out and cool you down afterward.
Yoga Basics New To yoga? This class offers a great introduction to the basic poses of a Hatha class. A variety of props and sometimes chairs will be used during the class as we explore range of joint motion and ease dormant muscles into a brand new awakening! This class is also great for persons recovering from new or old injuries. The slow pace will help you find and reconnect to your own breath pattern so that you feel more comfortable and relaxed. We will work on strengthening and stretching the core and the major muscles in the legs and arms to keep you going strong and balanced in your daily activities.
TRI-Yoga Inspired by the flow of a Triathalon, this class breaks down the muscles specific to swimming, cycling and running in that order. The poses and sequences will both strengthen and lengthen your muscles, give you a greater range of motion in your major joints while building muscle around them for added stability while you rev up your training. The added bonus : mindful movement and focus for the big race!
Yoga 4 Winter Sports NEW! This class targets muscles specifically used in skiing,
snowboarding, hockey etc. Half of the class focuses on conditioning and balancing the
muscles in the legs and core. The last half of the class focuses on dynamic and gentle
stretching, breath and muscle relaxation through mental awareness.
