YOGA FOUNDATIONS
Explore key essential L1 yoga poses in a safe and open environment. Class emphasis is on alignment, strength, and full range of motion through a variety of standing and seated postures. Perfect for those who desire more mobility or are limited in flexibility.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Restorative yoga embodies a meditative practice that guides opening your body through long passive stretching [between 5-10 minutes] using blocks, blankets and bolsters. This style works to release tension and harmonize the body’s life force.
YIN YOGA
Yin yoga guides regenerative poses that are held 2-5 minutes each. Incorporate principles of traditional Chinese medicine and asanas that work with the energy meridians in your body, cultivating active stretch in your connective tissues. Experience increased flexibility, improved posture and joint mobility.
HATHA YOGA
The word “Hatha” is both the term for all physical practices of yoga and the yoga of opposing energies, Surya (sun) and Chandra (moon). Experience a class focusing on flowing from pose to pose, linking movement with breath.
KEMETIC YOGA
Contrary to popular belief, Archeologists believe the true origins of Yoga emerged over 10,000 years ago from one of the oldest civilizations: ancient Egypt. This practice emphasizes self-discovery, breathwork, and steady ancient Yogic postures derived from ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
POWER VINYASA
“Vinyasa” translates to “flowing with breath” and is a dynamic style of Hatha yoga which joins postures, or asanas, with your body’s breath, creating a naturally steady internal rhythm. Power Vinyasa classes highlight classical poses for longer and deeper periods.
ASHTANGA YOGA
Created by K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century, Ashtanga Yoga, or known as ‘the eight limbs of yoga’, connects movement with breath, reflecting the six fundemental sequence series. Students experience each pose and transition at their own pace.
Note: Traditional Ashtanga classes are conducted without music.
