Vinyasa Flow

This style of yoga focuses on connecting movement with breath as we creatively transition from one pose to another. Sequences may be repeated or varied as we move in a spirit of curiosity and exploration. Awareness of the breath helps to calm the nervous system and cultivate mindfulness. The foundational poses help to develop strength, stability, and flexibility. Feel the stress melt away as you focus on the breath and movement to gently stretch your body and bring mindfulness to your poses. This is a multi-level class with variations offered, and is accessible to those new to yoga, as well as the experienced yogi who wants to refine and deepen their yoga practice.

Yin Yoga

In this nourishing practice, we remain mostly on the floor (or in a chair), allowing longer (3-5 minute), passive holds to work gently and mindfully into the body’s connective tissues. We allow time and gravity to do most of the work, releasing all effort and tuning in to our body’s innate wisdom.

Yoga Nidra

In Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep”, we allow conscious thought and effort to fall away. The instructor will provide a series of prompts for body, mind, and breath to guide participants into a state of deep relaxation.

Blissful Hour

Blissful Hour combines yin with yoga nidra to promote a state of deep relaxation, guiding you gently out of the week and into the weekend. Light refreshments are served.

Family Yoga (for ages 2-7)

Family Yoga provides children ages 2-7 years old and their parent/care-giver the opportunity to breathe, move, and relax together in kid-friendly ways.  In class, you can expect music, activities, songs, and more to keep kids engaged and having fun while moving their bodies! Siblings of any age are welcome. Sibling discounts are available.

Qigong

Qigong, pronounced “chi gong,” is a thousands-year-old traditional Chinese medicine practice. Exercises coordinating movement and breath are intended to facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body, mind, and spirit, with the goal of improving and maintaining health and well-being.
