Gentle Yoga - Tuesdays 9:30-10:30am
This is a softer, more gently paced class that is meant to cultivate an internal mediative experience while stretching and recharging the body. Gentle yoga is less strenuous and best for beginners, or those looking for a calm class that incorporates breathing, postures and movement. There will be some strengthening, balancing poses. I also like to introduce a new breathing technique each week. A great place to start if you are new to yoga!
Intermediate Hatha Yoga Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm
Practices are designed to align and calm your body, mind and spirit. These classes invite you to shift through a series of standing, seated and floor poses that will build body awareness, strength, focus and flexibility in reparation for breathing exercises and mediation. This class may also include some active flow or sun salutations.
Yin Yoga Fridays 9:30-10:30am
A Yin practice works deep connective tissues and increases energy flow in the body, releasing any energetic blockages. Poses are held for 3-5 minutes. Props are used to aid in physical release of tension without adding undue stress to the body. All levels welcome.
