HOT YOGA WITH HEART - HATHA

HOT  Yoga with Heart - Rooted in the Bikram Tradition, this practice is transformative for mind + body; it combines the power of 26/2 postures and heartfelt alignment and modifications with the intensity of an infrared heated studio.

This class is 75 minutes, it begins with Pranayama/Breathwork, moves into standing balancing postures followed by the floor series including forward folds, backbends and twists before Savasana.

HOT Yoga is a great practice to stimulate the immune system + internal organs, particularly the digestive organs, leaving you feeling refreshed and clear headed.

This class is considered appropriate for all levels. ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

slow FLOW - HATHA

Slow Flow sets itself apart from the above class as it is not heated. This class is a flowing sequence of postures that changes weekly. Slow flow is moving through basic Hatha yoga postures and feeling how one prepares you for the next building our practice in a conscious manner. The pace is slow and allows for a strong focus on alignment and modifications are offered to create an accessible practice. This 75 minute class provides stress relief, increases flexibility, and moves you towards a strong upright posture in your daily life.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME

HOT + SPICY - VINYASA

This dynamic style of yoga aims to increase lung capacity through breath regulation and to strengthen the physical body. By working externally on the physical body as one whole unit, as opposed to segmenting each part, we can begin to start tapping into the subtle (pranic) body to balance the energetic flow. Vinyasa yoga improves cardiovascular health, relieves stress, improves strength, and creates a stronger mind-body connection.

INTERMEDIATE

FUNctional MOVEMENT - HATHA

This class combines yoga and functional movement similar to pilates. Functional movement focuses on optimal alignment, stability, mobility, strength and balance.  It is a great base for people new to yoga as well as experienced yogis as it allows students at all levels to move with awareness and an understanding of the WHY behind the movements. Functional movement has a strong focus on educating students about the body and how to move in a sustainable way. We start by activating and strengthening the muscles required for safe and efficient movement, helping to reduce habitual compensatory movement patterns and posture imbalances while preparing the body for flow movements later in class.  Dynamic stretching and myo-fascial release are included to help improve mobility and range of motion. Functional movement will help you reduce the risk of injury and pain, and continue to move well for life!

ALL LEVELS WELCOME

yoga to sacred music - HATHA

This class is a set sequence of postures rooted in the Bikram tradition practiced during the week to prepare to follow without instruction. The teacher leads the class no verbal cues and the students follow along. The music is vibrational and allows you to get out of your head and follow your heart as you practice familiar postures. Get ready to fly and trust your inner guru in this 1hour class on Fridays and Saturdays.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME.

YIN & TONIC - YIN

This is the perfect antidote to an active lifestyle; the class offers long, slow and deeply held ground rooted postures. With time, warmth + gravity assisting the opportunity to truly surrender. YIN & TONIC is a quiet, meditative practice designed to release long held or chronic tension by working into the joints and connective tissues. This 75 minute class takes place in a warm candlelit room, it’s all about slowing down and letting go; you can expect a heavenly sleep as one of the many healing rewards of YIN.

ALL LEVELS WELCOME
