VINYASA FLOW YOGA:

Vinyasa yoga combines movement with breath. Students move from pose to pose with each held for no more than 5 to 8 breaths. This type of flow builds strength, fluidity and flexibility. It also focuses on concentration, breath work and meditation. This class is open to all levels. No yoga experience is necessary.

YIN YOGA:

Yin yoga is a quiet, meditative practice where you will hold passive poses for several minutes. Yin is a wonderful compliment to more vigorous yoga practices or exercise activities, and a perfect place to start for beginners. Using mindful muscle relaxation, yin postures target the connective tissue to help create more flexibility and mobility in your body. The practice nourishes joints, ligaments and fascia, promoting the healthy flow of energy and increasing circulation. It eases the nervous system and is restorative in nature. This class is suitable and encouraged for all levels of practitioners.

BEGINNER YOGA:

The beginner yoga series is a great way to start (or restart) your yoga practice. This 4-week series teaches students the fundamentals of yoga and provides a safe, fun and engaging learning environment. The instructor will take the time to break down the poses and teach alignment. Students learn focused breathing, yoga postures, and relaxation techniques. The beginners series is taught in a sequential manner to help students build strength and flexibility.
