Vinyasa: A fun, playful and sometimes challenging class where postures & movements are linked to our breath. Sun Salutations, standing poses, balance postures, backbends, sometimes and inversion or two, there is a bit of everything in this class.  Usually there is a fun music playlist too! 75 minutes total. We end with a deep shavasana. 

Chair Yoga: This class is great for seniors or ANYONE who just wants a super basic class, with great benefits. Maybe you have limited mobility? Or just cleared (from your doctor)for more activities after an injury? Most postures are done while seated in a chair. Some simple standing poses will be offered. There are also a few reclined postures which are optional. We practice getting up safely from the ground to your chair. Mindful breathing techniques along with relaxation and meditation techniques will be offered- which we think is the best and most important part! Leave feeling relaxed and with more clarity & peace. 60 minutes. 

Gentle/Yin Yoga: This gentle/yin class will consist of yin yoga poses & gentle flow poses, depending on the day and the students who come. It is a class to slow down a little, stretch, release tension, breathe, be still, relax, and reboot the parasympathetic nervous system. Class will include mindfulness and some meditation. This class is open to all levels- a great class for beginners. We also highly recommend this class for those who lean towards a more athletic class and are always on the run, to find some balance and slow down a little bit. 75 minutes.

We do recommend you come healthy to all classes- meaning no major injuries or health conditions that yoga might exacerbate, rather than heal. Talk to your doctor first if you are concerned. Feel free to give us a call too- 808-221-4258.
