Vinyasa Yoga

Our Vinyasa classes:

Are a flow class inspired by Power Yoga Master Baron Baptiste
Are non-heated allowing the body to safely and naturally enter into
each pose.
Most of our Yoga classes will fit perfectly into your schedule as they are
60 minutes in length.
Vinyasa is loosely translated as “movement without obstruction”
All students of this endurance-building flow style will learn to breathe through postures while developing strength and balance

At the start of each class you begin to connect your breath with movement through a series sun salutations. We break down each salute and then begin to flow from pose to pose. You begin to develop stamina as each pose demands much of your strength. You'll refocus your energy and breath with a series of standing balance postures, and then Move to the floor for some back body poses designed to open the heart by extending the spine into an arched position and finishing up with some hip openers and Shavasana, a few minutes of deep breathing meditation.

Yoga Stretch
Yoga Stretch is a gentle non-athletic class focusing on opening the body. Stretching is combined with basic breathing exercises to help you find the physical and mental energy and stamina. Yoga Stretch is perfect for students with chronic muscle or joint pain, and an excellent compliment to more energetic classes.

Yoga Stretch is:

A restorative Yoga geared toward greater flexibility
Based on Yin Yoga - the art of muscle release to stretch and create space in joints & ligaments
Gives special attention to legs, hips and back
Releases tightness, stress, and physical discomfort

We begin each class with a few minutes of meditative breathing and then move on to some light twists of the spine. Each posture is held to let the body release and create space between your joints, ligaments and muscles. Virtually no part of your body will be unaffected by this technique. Hips, shoulders and especially your heart begin to unlock; this is where working our bodies intersects with feeling great.
