Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa yoga is a flowing sequence of postures (asanas) structured upon precise alignment, with an emphasis placed on the connection between the synchronization of breath and movement. Linking each movement to either an inhale or exhale, builds internal heat. That heat (tapas) purifies muscles and releases toxins stored within tissues and organs while alleviating the daily accumulation of stress as well. Classes are fun, challenging and encourage self exploration.

Hatha focuses on the physical body through posture and breath, while maintaining a pose for one to two minutes. Traditional asanas are used to strengthen, purify and balance the endocrine, nervous and circulatory systems. By moving more deeply into each asana, body and mind become stronger and proper alignment can be more deeply examined.

Restorative Yoga

Unlike Vinyasa or Hatha, Restorative Yoga does not require challenging physical activity. Props like blankets, blocks and bolsters are used to support the body allowing you to completely let go and comfortably surrender into a posture. Poses are held for extended periods of time to calm and soothe the body and mind. Its passive nature adds to the bodys energy level, rather than depleting it. Restorative Yoga offers a deeply nourishing environment of stillness in which to promote the natural process of healing and replenishment. The practice restores diminished energy and leaves students of all levels feeling centered and refreshed. The Yogic equivalent of massage.

Childrens Yoga

Children are natural yogis. Their tension-free bodies and uninhibited minds are able to approach postures with curiosity and playfulness. Childrens yoga introduces kids to how we breathe and body awareness. Learning postures is made fun by incorporating animal sounds and partnering with other children. Yoga increases coordination, improves motor skills and teaches children that there is something special inside every one of us.
