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. Candlelight Restorative Yoga Using the soft candlelight, you'll flow through a yin yoga practice. Yin yoga is often described as the other half of a yoga practice. 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. Gentle Yoga/Trauma Sensitive A gentle movement practice, trauma-sensitive yoga emphasizes a sense of somatic safety and a capacity for self-care. At its core is the idea of “reclaiming the body”: strengthening the capacity to tolerate physical sensation, to feel and respond to the body’s cues – a capacity that exposure to trauma frequently delays or derails. Appropriate for individuals who are new to yoga, have physical concerns, or would like a slower paced class. 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. EMBER Yoga (flow) This flow class is appropriate for all levels and for any student. We all have some level of trauma in our life, so come check it out and discover more about yourself. At its core, EMBER’s aim is simple: to provide tools to help people feel at home in their bodies. The curriculum builds community while developing the foundations of resilience: the capacity to bounce back from difficulty by drawing on inner reserves of calm, clarity, compassion, and courage. RENEWal Yoga Class will focus on gentle Yoga movement and relaxation to help you unwind from your day.
