Mind & Body
Ashtanga Yoga: Often called “eight-limbed yoga” ashtanga focuses on cleansing the mind and body using the ujjayi breath and drishti gaze. The first heat-building series serves to purify the body then the next series to cleanse the mind.
Hatha Yoga: This “yoga for health” class will ease your mind and develop mental clarity toward strength, flexibility and relaxation. Breathing, postures and stress management will serve as the foundation in this centuries-old form of exercise. Basic and intermediate poses will be covered.
Pilates: A mat-based fitness-pilates class that emphasizes essential skills for proper execution of movements. Activate, isolate, and stabilize deep core muscles while improving posture, flexibility, balance and overall body strength. The bigger challenge of the class derives from the concentration of the mind, breathing and precision.
Power Yoga: A more advanced energetic flowing sequence of postures and poses. Focuses on using breathing techniques to move rapidly from one pose to another. Classes focus on body weight bearing exercises, torso stability and intermediate balance.
Tai Chi:
Vinyasa Yoga: Vinyasa literally translates to “breath-synchronized movement.” Explore your inner landscape as your breath and body work harmoniously as one.
Yoga Basics: Beginners can become acquainted with yoga postures, form and breath. Step into a class designed to put you at ease and teach you the peace yoga has to offer.
Yoga/Pilates: Utilize the core coordination and center body control of pilates with the added flexibility of yoga. These two mind/body formats fuse together to give you a combination of typically independent practices.
Our yoga/pilates sessions promote deep relaxation, rejuvenation, flexibility, and great strength by emphasizing steady, even breathing in a variety of postures. All of these sessions are presented in varying levels, that encourage you to develop strength, balance and flexibility at your own pace.
