Class Descriptions

All Levels Flow 
Open to all levels, a class that focuses on introducing students to a flowing (or vinyasa) practice that connects movement and breath.  Beginning with an easy warm up, sun salutations, and a series of poses including balances, twists, and inversions, designed to increase flexibility, balance, and an overall sense of well-being.  There will always be modifications, so you can work at the level best suited for you.  Good for most levels.

Gentle Yoga
This class combines gentle postures, stretches, and restorative poses to increase body awareness and mindfulness skills.  Appropriate for individuals who are new to yoga, have physical concerns, or would like a slower paced class.

Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is often described as the other half of a yoga practice. In relation to Yoga, a Yang practice is a faster practice, affecting muscles, making them longer and stronger. A yin yoga practice is a slower, deeper practice affecting the connective tissues of the body.  Yin Yoga utilizes fewer poses during the practice, holding the pose for up to 5 minutes, it is more along the lines of a gentle practice.

Yoga for Empowerment and Self Confidence
This class is designed to build confidence; learning to focus on the present and on the self.  A class to learn self-acceptance, physically and mentally.  Some flow will be offered to experience power and strength and build self-esteem and energy. Students will be encouraged to challenge themselves while listening to their bodies and connecting the mind and body.  Walk away with a sense of peace and ability to tackle the next life obstacle.

Yoga for Anxiety and Stress Relief:
Approximately 40 million people suffer from anxiety but even those who haven't been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder can experience stress, tension and anxiety in their everyday lives.  Practicing yoga is not only a stress reliever, it is also an effective tool to treat and alleviate the symptoms of anxiety.  Learn about the different limbs of yoga and how they can be applied to your life through breathing techniques, meditation, and postures to help calm the body and quiet the mind.

Mindful Living Support Group
As we move through our daily lives, we find numerous times where we are on “autopilot”. These are moments where our body is working and active, but our mind, is disengaged from what is happening. Ever get home at the end of the day and realize you don’t remember that last part of your drive? That is a basic example of how our body can complete some pretty involved tasks without our mind being actively involved.
In our group, we will work together to fully experience the present, good or bad, without judgement. BY focusing on living mindfully, we are able to make choices in our lives that move us toward our best self.
​
Mindful Movement Class
This class was created by a meshing of Yoga postures, Pilates, Meditation exercises, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s Ten Mindful Movements.  Through practicing mindful movements with our bodies, we can reconnect the larger ethereal mind with our physical body. We are better able to become aware of how our thoughts impact our physical being which can often be our early warning system that something needs our attention.
 We will practice breathing, moving our bodies through space and full range of motion, building physical strength that encourages growth in our emotional and mental strength, and building our skills to continue our practices outside of the class, in your everyday life.  This class is open to all physical ability levels and modifications for all exercises will be provided to make this a safe, effective, appropriate class for all attendees. No footwear is needed, and clothing that allows for comfortable movement is recommended.
