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
Yoga |
| 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.
