When we start a yoga practice, we are usually seeking to be free from something- whether it is freedom from physical/emotional pain, stress.. or just wanting more freedom in our bodies. In this class, we focus on proper body alignment, foundation, moving with the breath and other yogic principles that establish the groundwork for your practice. Our intention is ultimate freedom in body, mind and heart! There are different levels of this class offered on the schedule.
We have so much power in our core that often goes unrecognized due to certain holding patterns in our bodies. It is the fire within us that fuels our will and determination, propelling us forward in life. In this class we will focus on awakening that fire and regaining our core power so that we can maximize our personal feeling of strength and confidence. There are times to let go and times to take action. This class is about taking action and in doing so, we also gain more freedom and stability in our spines that helps to alleviate stress and discomfort in our backs. This is an all levels class that combines several yoga moves to enhance and strengthen our core and back.
Level 1-2 (some yoga experience recommended)
Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic and physically demanding style that follows a set series of postures. It involves synchronized breath and movement, known as vinyasa, to create a continuous flow. The practice is designed to realign the spine, detoxify the body, and build strength, flexibility, and stamina.
LEVEL 2 (yoga experience recommended)
Yin Yoga is a practice for everyone. It represents the more passive side of yoga, targeting the more “plastic-like connective tissues and bone structure and focuses largely on the region between the knees and the navel. By working slowly with breathing, gravity forces and natural motion, the body decides when it’s ready to go deeper. Yin rejuvenates body, mind, and spirit with a slower practice that allows one to settle into a meditative state, flushing daily stresses and mental tensions.
