Classes

This is a 4 class series designed for the absolute beginner. Once a week for four weeks you will be introduced to the fundamentals of yoga, including breathwork, proper alignment, posture names and vinyasa flow. Each class is 60 minutes. We recommend all students new to yoga or vinyasa yoga sign up for this series before participating in the other vinyasa classes.

A class suited to all levels to build familiarity with the postures and basic principles of yoga. The emphasis here will be on careful alignment, breath and body awareness, optimal posture and body mechanics. Students experience the meditative benefits of yoga through linking of breath with movement. This class promotes strength, balance, flexibility, and stress reduction.

An exploration of basic yoga postures in a flow sequence. Great class for beginners and for students with little or no yoga experience. Flow sequences are slow and steady but challenging. Class concentrates on improving range of motion, flexibility, strength, and balance by teaching students to link their natural cycle of breath with their movements. Modifications are offered and props are used when needed to allow students to flow in and out of the poses gracefully.

A class for students who have a basic understanding of yoga postures and alignment. Intermediate classes offer an opportunity to deepen your practice.

During an average mile run, your foot strikes the ground approximately 1000 times. Most runners experience too much pounding, tightening and shortening of muscles and not enough stretching and loosening. All of our yoga classes are beneficial to runners, but this class will aim to specifically restore balance by focusing on the areas of the body that trouble most runners: the hips, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves. You will also strengthen your core abdominal and back muscles enabling you to maintain strong running alignment even in the face of fatigue. The addition of a regular yoga practice to your running can prevent injury, hasten recovery and help you achieve your goals.

Our Tweens yoga class is centered around yoga poses rich and detailed in technique yet presented in a wholesome, light and humorous manner so that even the most hesitant will become grounded and embrace the elevating aspects of yoga. We balance the seriousness with playfulness and include games, yoga flows to music and guided visualizations. Our poses serve and honor the individual by providing specific tools for calming down or increasing energy, lightening up or centering through focus and balance as well as the wisdom to know when each is appropriate.   One of the avenues through which the students can achieve is our signature "Quest for Elevation" program. Much like earning belts in martial arts, the students earn pennants for specific acheivements. The pennant colors and level requirements correlate with the Chakra System. Each pennant can be used as a peace flag or worn as a bandana. It usually takes between 6 and 9 weeks to earn each pennant. By the time the student earns the final white pennant, he or she has earned the credentials to be Certified Grounded and will receive a certificate and a badge. A Certified Grounded Student has what it takes to live his or her best life and also to share the gift with others. The Quest for Elevation is a celebration rather than a goal that has to be achieved within a certain time frame. It is non-competetive and stress-free.
