POWER FLOW YOGA
Our Power Flow Yoga class is a 90-minute all levels practice. It is
directed
at creating energy, vitality and
freedom within the atmosphere conducive to our natural growth. We work
on our bodies sensitively that heals and honors each individual. Power
Flow Yoga let us respect our boundaries and works within him or her,
not
against it.
The course is an eclectic mix of Ashtanga, Hot, and Power Yoga designed
to offer a vigorous, cardiovascular yoga practice. We begin in a heated
room (approximately 85 degrees) in order to relax and stretch the
muscles, prevent injury, and aid in detoxification. The external heat
works in combination with the internal flame generated through vigorous
movement and breath, which serves to thin the blood and cleanse the
body.
We open the class with restorative postures and Pranayama
breathing exercises in order to center our practice and remove the
pressures of external circumstances and set our intention for the
class. We then move into a cardiovascular sequence of postures to
create an internal flame and promote detoxification. We continue
through a series of standing and balance postures, seated forward bends
and back bends, as well as inversions, always focusing on alignment,
consciousness, and intention.
Overall, the course serves to build strength, stamina, flexibility, and
balance. We end the class with Savasana (a guided meditation using
corpse pose). Sequences change from class-to-class with the
substitution of new and various postures, while maintaining consistency
through a core sequence grounded in Surya Namaskara A and B
(Salutations to the Sun). All of our courses encourage you to take
advantage of the physical as well as the spiritual benefits of yoga by
seeing the physical as an opportunity to experience a connection to a
greater universal consciousness.
VINYASA FLOW YOGA
Our Vinyasa Flow Yoga Class is a 90 minutes all levels practice. The
asanas are based on the classic traditional postures and are built
around dynamic vinyasas (flow sequences) and focused alignment that
move one to greater depths of strength and flexibility in an
intelligent manner.
Vinyasa movements are smoothly flowing and almost dance-like. The
series of poses move you through the power of inhaling and exhaling.
The continual movements, from one pose to another, gives you an added
cardiovascular benefit. The routine practice of vinyasa yoga can
increase muscle strength, endurance and flexibility, and reduce levels
of stress.
Physically, sweat expels toxins and re-energizes your body. Mentally,
the synchronized breathing relaxes your mind and helps to release any
blockage of energy flow throughout your body.
The practice consists of simple meditation, sun salutations, and
variation of deep stretches, back bends, arm balance, inversion poses
and relaxation.
With regular practice, it creates light bodies, clear minds, and open
hearts.
GENTLE FLOW YOGA
Open to all levels of practice and abilities, our soothing gentle class
focuses on an exploration of basic yoga poses and how to connect them
through attention to breathing, alignment and mindfulness.
Therapeutic in nature, you will learn techniques to help you gain
flexibility, while immersing yourself in a relaxing class that moves at
a perfectly slower pace - allowing ample time to enjoy each pose.
Meditation and relaxation techniques will also be introduced, perfect
for stress relief and overall well being.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Restoratives are meditative poses in which the body is supported with
props and held for extended periods of time. Both soothing and
regenerating, restorative poses help bring balance to our demanding
daily lives.
PRENATAL YOGA
This gentle class is designed to reduce the aches and pains which
accompany pregnancy, in a nurturing and supportive environment. We will
focus on special breathing techniques, opening the hips, and preparing
the body for birth.

cooperation, and confidence in a safe environment. Yoga is an amazing
