On-going Classes:

Bliss Yoga

The ultimate way to start your weekend! Explore and nurture your true self in this special class that incorporates 60 minutes of Hatha-style yoga and 15 minutes of guided meditation. Each of us has a place, within our mind, of perfect silence. Learn the secrets of returning to the source of consciousness and experience for yourself the deep peace and renewal of body and mind that come from meditation. This is the perfect way to unwind from the week and prepare for a rejuvenating weekend.

Dynamic Yoga

This style of practice links powerful breath with dynamic, flowing movements.  Often referred to as meditation in motion, Dynamic Yoga cultivates strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, focus, serenity. This challenging Hatha practice will transform you from the inside out.  Get ready to take your practice seriously but yourself lightly as you explore your edge, discover your strength and awaken your spirit.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha yoga utilizes the practice of asanas (postures) and pranayama (conscious breathing) to enhance health and vitality and to bring about balance in one’s life. Hatha yoga can be a springboard to deeper and higher states of awareness. Through the practice of asanas and pranayama, along with inner focus, you begin to experience a freedom that may permeate all aspects of your lives.

All hatha yoga classes emphasize correct posture and alignment and build strength, flexibility and concentration.  Many of our teachers study and practice different styles of yoga including Kripalu, Scaravelli, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar, Integral Yoga Therapy and more. Some teachers teach the traditions in their pure form; others draw from their training in a combination of the traditions, which is simply referred to as “hatha style”, multi-style” or “eclectic”.

Scaravelli

This style is based on the teaching of Vanda Scaravelli who was a student of BKS Iyengar. Scaravelli developed a gentle fluid approach to yoga that focuses on the spine, the ground and the breath and teaches one’s body to use asanas rather than the other way around.

Power Lunch

Start your week with a boost of power!  In just 60 minutes of intense Vinyasa flow, you’re sure to be transformed from the inside out.  Using the energy of tapas, a Sanskrit teaching, meaning “heat” or “fire”, you’ll discover your potential for courage, strength, passion, and vibrancy. Your body, mind, and spirit will be purified to reveal the true beauty within.

Power Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa is a dynamic, vigorous and flowing blend of poses. It is the synchronization of breath with movement, and in vinyasa classes postures are linked together in a continuous and challenging flow. Vinyasa is more than a simple set of physical maneuvers; the flow of the practice with the breath bring together the internal and the external. The practice engages prana, or energy found within your breath, and leaves you feeling energized and more connected with your Higher Self.

The many benefits of this style include strength, detoxification, mental and physical balance, flexibility, and stamina. Ultimately, your yoga practice can create feelings of peace and harmony. Every class will be a different sequencing of asanas, but you can be sure it will be challenging, sweat-inducing and include a little bit of laughter.

Special Series/Workshops*:

Restorative Yoga

Referred to as "The Bubble Bath of Yoga". This restirative form of yoga helps to relieve the effects of chronic stress by supporting the body with props. The use of props provides a completely supportive environment, thus allowing the body to fully relax into the Hatha Yoga postures.
