CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

ANUSARA YOGA—This type of yoga provides a blending of precise physical alignment using the Universal Principles of Alignment with playful celebration of the heart. It includes Vinyasa (flowing postures) and holding poses.

ANUSARA FLOW—Classic Anusara Yoga (see above) but incorporating flowing movement with the breath. This is a more rigorous class, best for levels 2 and 3.
  
FLOW VINYASA—This class offers a challenging, fun, creative flow of poses to enhance balance, strength, flexibility and proper alignment. Poses are linked with conscious attention to the breath to deepen awareness of the inner self and to cultivate inner peace and harmony.

GENTLE YOGA—This is an ideal class for less flexible or injured individuals who prefer a slower pace. A wonderful way to strengthen, stretch and restore energy levels.

HATHA YOGA—Moderate restorative yoga for everyone; a blending of Iyengar and Integral styles.

INTRO TO YOGA—For absolute beginners! This one-hour class is held once a month.

KRIPALU YOGA—Yoga postures are held for increasing amounts of time with an emphasis on connecting breath and body awareness. Students receive detailed alignment instruction and are encouraged to adapt postures to their individual physical abilities and needs.

NIA—Nia is a combination of Martial Arts, Dance Arts, and Healing Arts. Nia is a cardiovascular workout that will also increase your strength, flexibility, power, agility, mobility and stability. NIA will help you gain conditioning in Mind and Body, helping you to achieve your fitness goals. NIA is often said to be like chocolate…you just have to taste it!

POWER TO THE CORE—Students will move consistently from pose to pose in this power vinyasa flow class that will push you to your limits. Power to the Core will utilize principles of alignment and Pilates to develop core strength.

POWER VINYASA—Power Vinyasa is similar to Flow Vinyasa (see above) but incorporates more challenging poses and holding poses for longer amounts of time. 
 
STRENGTH & STRETCH—This low impact class will tone your muscles, while lengthening them at the same time with stretches that will increase your athletic ability and prevent injury as well. 

WAKEUP ASHTANGA YOGA—This class provides a smooth and energizing entry into the day and awakens all senses with moderate Vinyasa (flowing) postures and breath. For athletic individuals.
