YOGA CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Vinyasa:
This class is a solid foundation for a strong and balanced vinyasa (hatha-flow) practice, focusing on blending conscious and intensified breath with powerful poses. After a challenging class you will walk away stronger and more flexible, with a sense of relaxed peace in your BodyMind. The teacher speaks to all levels of ability and experience, offering modifications and advancements. This class teaches from the principles and influences of Anusara and Power Yoga.
Ashtanga Remix:
Ashtanga is the original Power Vinyasa coming from Southern India; foundation of most of the flow yoga in the West. It was designed as different series of poses with intentions of healing and strengthening the body, eliminating uneeded fat, and opening the hips to prepare for seated mediation. An Ashtanga Remix class offers accessible poses from the first & second series with liberal sequencing and music to add flow. We focus on such aspects as bhandas, jump backs, creative transitions from pose to vinyasa, inversions, arm balances & drop backs.
Kundalini Yoga:
Each Kundalini yoga class places equal emphasis on breathing exercises, movement, mediation, and chanting to relax and heal the mind, body and soul. Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, PHD, is a technology designed to awaken and expand internal awareness and to invoke an experience of calmness, happiness and freedom of spirit. Kundalini yoga teaches you how to gain a strong immune system, vital glands, a strong nervous system, good circulation, and an awareness of the impact of your habits. All levels welcome.
Yin Yoga:
Yin yoga works deeply into the connective tissues (ligaments, tendons and fascia), heals joints and increases flexibility. While our yang workout (power vinyasa, bikram or other intense athletic exercise) concentrates on muscular strengthening and stretching through heat-producing activity, yin yoga penetrates deep into the body through extended poses and passive release restoring the vitality of our connective tissue. The general stiffness we feel, the achiness in our backs, shoulders and knees, the injuries that retire athletes or hospitalize the elderly are often connective tissue related. Come be proactive about increasing the health of your whole body. Balance your practice and explore the deep meditative state that a slower pace, a deeper stretch and an emphasis on working with the subtle body can offer.
