Vinyasa
Traditional vinyasa classes!
In this class, we will move seamlessly, from pose to pose, using our breath and fun transitions, following the instruction of the teacher. You will learn pranayama (breathwork), asana (poses), and meditation which will allow you to connect with mind, body, and soul throughout the whole practice. The poses practiced will lengthen (stretch) AND strengthen the muscles and will teach you how to use your breath to control the reactions of the body.
Expect this class to range from 60 - 75 minutes.

Hatha Yoga emphasizes frequent relaxation, concentration, steady postures, and full yogic breathing, similar to Ashtanga. This class includes an opening prayer, pranayama, traditional sun salutations, and basic yoga asanas with some variations. The ends with a final deep relaxation and closing prayer. This is a stress-reducing, relaxing, and rejuvenating class used to focus the mind, connect with universal awareness of life, and cultivate the integrity of oneself.
This class is for all ages and levels. Everyone is encouraged to take this class. If you are recovering from an injury, this class can fit your needs as there are more open areas for adjustments and variations.
Expect this class to range from 60-75 minutes.
Do you want to enhance your yoga practice? Do you want to keep your body safe and protected from injury?
This is the perfect class to make that happen!
Advanced Class is designed to focus on strength training while keeping flexibility in mind. Think of this as the core of your practice and an anti-injury class. All the little tricks you need to keep your body safe, strong, and flexible. We will be targeting muscles not normally used, protecting the different ranges of motion required specifically for your Ashtanga practice. Activating these muscles and being conscious of them will be key to increasing the performance of your practice. If you’re not an Ashtanga practitioner, this class can still benefit your specific practice.
This class will range from 2 to 3 hours depending on what will be worked on that day. The schedule will be posted accordingly.
You are not required to stay for the entirety of the class, although it is highly recommended. Think of this class as a self-practice class. Everyone is on their own journey, therefore, you might be working on something different than the person practicing next to you. So take what you need from what is offered and make the best out of your Advanced practice.
The Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga is the foundational practice of the Ashtanga discipline.
It consists of 48 poses, all with a variety of ranges of movement. The Led Practice consists of Sun Salutations, Standing poses, sitting sequence (primary sequence), and closing/meditative postures. The poses in this series range from basic to challenging and you are NOT required nor expected to be able to perform them all on your first try or class. However, you are welcome to try as much as you like. Always only do as much as is comfortable for you but remember to challenge yourself.
Ashtanga Yoga can have amazing effects on the body, the mind, and the spirit due to its well-structured and dynamic form of practicing the Asana limb of Yoga. Remember, challenging yourself is a good thing, you just have to listen to your body and monitor its levels of energy and awareness. As you practice more, the more you’re able to understand the body and its needs.
