Class Descriptions
ALL CLASSES ARE OPEN TO BEGINNERS!
Hot Soul is a set series done in a room heated to 105 degrees. It is a pure beginners boot camp class. All poses are done twice with an emphasis on form and correct breathing. With this yoga, you will establish the fundamentals of quality living as philosophy emerges from the physical. -Stephen
Slow Flow is the practice of physical yoga, or postures. This is an excellent class for beginners or anyone interested in exploring the nuances of the classic yoga postures. The flow and postures practiced will vary with each class and the room will be warm only. -Jasper
Shakti Vinyasa is a strong flowing practice where the body and breath are integrated with intentional music to create a visceral, multi-sensory experience of oneness. Powerful and robust sequences are balanced with yin and restorative yoga to tone and strengthen the body while nourishing the soul. Together, we will “tune in” to the inner flow, manifest that intuition into body and spirit, and ultimately unleash our inner power and creative potential. 90 degrees.
Dynamic Flow will offer a wide range of movement and variety of yogasanas. You will work on balancing and flowing and be encouraged to find creative ways of holding postures while keeping your composure. Some yoga experience will be helpful. 95 degrees. -
Kundalini can be translated as energy. This is the technology of yoga. Using kriyas (sets of poses), mantras (sound), and mudras (hand gestures), Kundalini will allow you to tap into unused energy stored at the base of the spine and help you realize your full potential. -Kerry, Gabriela
Jivamukti, in addition to being a rigorous physical practice, is a holistic path to Enlightenment through compassion to all beings. This approach incorporates 5 yogic tenets: Ahimsa (non-violence), Bhakti (devotion), Dyhana (meditation), Nada (sacred sound/music), and Shastra (scriptures) into every session. -Christine
Sacred Flow will connect you to your divine energy. Chant, breathe and flow through a vinyasa class emphasizing the physical as well as the spiritual aspects of yoga. You will be encouraged to listen to your own inner teacher and always honor your body. Feel alive, transformed and joyful in sacred presence. Heated to 90 degrees; open to all levels. –Shannon
Core Vinyasa is a strong flow practice with a special emphasis on developing deep core strength. You will be encouraged to find the center (core) physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every class, a few challenging “adventure poses” will be offered, such as arm balances and inversions. We’ll close with some longer held yin poses to promote introspection, flexibility, and rest. Heated to 90 degrees; all levels welcome. Lots of modifications will be given to beginners. -Melissa S
Circle means that the teachers of this class will rotate. You will be able to check the website for who is teaching on any given day. Or you could go blind and enjoy the spontaneity. This class’s intention is to help expose you to all types and individual approaches of yoga. This is for the practitioner who wants to remain on their toes and explore the potentials.
Sacred Dance Flow. Anyone can dance! Awaken your inner Universal Dancer as you warm up with chanting and pranayama, then on to a unique blend of flowing yoga and creative dance. The room will be warm so be prepared to sweat and feel liberated. -Shannon
Aglow Flow is a powerful creative vinyasa that will lead you to discover a blazing inner universe. Expect to twist, float, fly, expand and invert in a heated non-competitive space. -Liz
Meditation is the art of listening to the space between the thoughts. This should be your class outside of class.
