Hatha

Considered as the classical yoga, Hatha is the most popular form of yoga practice in the west, and its the foundation of many other new yoga styles. Hatha Yoga is said to balance the opposing energies of the body - sun and moon, male and female and all the dichotomies in the universe. This form of Yoga is most often identified with the practice of basic yoga postures(asana), experience breathing techniques, and relaxation.

In Hatha yoga, we manipulate the energy on the physical and energetical body, to reach all the different layers of our consciousness. Hatha Yoga will promote physical vitality and mental balance.

All levels welcome.

ASHTANGA REMIX

This Ashtanga vinyasa flow is suitable for those who are new to the Ashtanga practice, as well as anyone with an existing practice. Students are guided through half of the asanas in the Primary sequence with additional instruction and modifications provided so that the practice is accessible to all.  The class includes all the standing asanas from the Primary series, various seated asanas from the Primary and Intermediate series, and modified closing and finishing asanas. The sequences will slightly change with each class, but expect there to be some repetition of asanas, as well as a great playlist to keep you moving through the more challenging asanas. 

Mysore style

A Mysore style self-practice is for everyone and every level. Named after the city in India where it originated, Mysore is the traditional method in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught. Students are taught a sequence of postures through one-on-one instruction using customized poses, and progress at their own individual pace with personal instruction and guidance from the teacher in a small room environment. It’s like having a private lesson in a group setting. There is a flexible start time. Just show up between 7-8:45am and you will be taught a sequence that you will move through at your own pace.

gentle flow

Gentle Flow combines a series of postures, where with a gentler, lighter paced flow, students will be able to move with a sense of ease from one posture to another, coordinated with the breath. This softer pace will allow you to be more present with each posture.

60-minute class

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga regulates the flow of energy in the body .
It is a more meditative approach with a physical focus much deeper than Yang like practices. Here the practitioner is trying to access the deeper tissues such as the connective tissue and fascia and many of the postures, that we hold for longer periods of time, focus on areas that encompass a joint (hips, sacrum, spine).

Yin yoga is an effective practice to maintain the flexibility of the body, to deepen the connection with the breath and train the mind to remain present through the entire practice.

Yin yang Yoga

Yin Yang Yoga blends two styles of yoga into one practice - bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses with more dynamic sequences and standing postures.
A Yin Yang yoga class will often start dynamically (Yang) and end with longer held poses to relax and calm the nervous system. The sequencing of the class can have a powerful effect on your energy levels and how you feel after class.
For all levels.

Restorative pilates flow

Taking from the classical method designed by Joseph H. Pilates, and balanced with Yin and Restorative Yoga, comes this class that consists of movements that are low-impact, with few repetitions, emphasizing form and alignment. Pilates focuses on the ‘core’, the muscles of the back and stomach, and also targets the intrinsic, supporting muscles to give a long, lean physique.

The movements are integrated with the breath and emphasis is placed on focus so that the mind becomes more in tune with the body, creating a connection that can be carried out of the studio to improve grace, balance, and focus in daily life.

Classes end with stretches based on the Yin and Restorative yoga methods allowing you to leave class feeling taller and calmer.

60 minutes. All levels welcome.
