yin yoga
Yin Yoga improves energy flow in the body through passive, longer-held poses. Targeting our connective tissue (the body’s deepest tissue), this practice of release enhances the flow of chi in ligaments, joints, bones, organs, deep fascia, and meridians. Asanas are held for a few to several minutes in stillness promoting softness and ease. Muscles are relaxed during poses to avoid muscle spasm and encourage opening.
HATHA YOGA FLOW
This class begins with a gentle warm up, peaks with sun salutations, and completes with a sequence of postures held for 3-5 breaths. There is a strong focus on alignment and plenty of modifications to suit any experience level or desire. This class is supported by yogic philosophy, breathwork, and meditation.
Pilates
Pilates is a low impact, core-centered practice that improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength, balance, mobility, posture, and even mood. Designed to enhance the body’s potential, this structured system of exercises corrects muscular imbalances and puts the body into optimal alignment. Pilates movements are paired with a specific breath to target the smaller and deeper muscles that support structure and overall health. Open to all levels. Modifications offered.
MEDITATION + BREATHWORK
A devotional practice of meditation and breath work designed to connect you with the wisdom of your Higher Self.
power vinyasa
This sweaty vinyasa flow is a vigorous and aerobic style of yoga designed to increase your heart rate, while building strength and endurance. Quick-moving and invigorating, this class challenges you to explore your breath, using it as a tool to foster harmony between mind and body.
