Chair Yoga

Our studio is meeting the needs of a growing population of senior adults….but, don’t be fooled…this class is for ALL AGES!!!

Not everyone can get up and down off the floor easily….which makes a traditional yoga class intimidating and difficult. If you have any health issues, this is a great class for you! With a chair, either sitting or standing, you can practice yoga and gain the same benefits of increased circulation, balance, flexibility, mobility and strength. And….it’s fun!

Core Yoga and Movement: Level 1/2

This class will teach you how to understand the functional value of yoga postures and mindful movement. Strengthen core muscles, increase  body awareness, and improve your overall mobility, balance and coordination. Offered every Thursday evening.

Deep Hips

Deep Hips is a challenging 90-minute class that systematically stretches the connective tissues surrounding the hip structure, leaving the lower body with a sense of length, openness, and balance. Props are provided and greatly encouraged…to achieve alignment and intended sensations and comfort throughout the practice. Open to all levels.

Private Sessions

Each of the postures are held for 5 minutes or more. Deep breathing and mindful attention to the sensations of the body and the experience of stillness is a primary focus. This class is perfect for any level student who wants to restore and renew body, mind and spirit by means of a quiet, introspective practice.

Strength & Grace/Yoga & Movement

This 75 minute practice is for the more experienced student. Detailed instruction will help you to refine your relationship with your body, expand your asana practice, and bring greater self awareness into your body/mind on and off the mat. Yogic philosophy, mindful breathing, and meditation are essential elements in every class. Offered on Tuesday evenings only.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a more meditative approach to a deep physical practice. This sequence of Yin postures are held for a long period of time to target the deep connective tissues of the body and to promote the flow of energy particularly in the core body and hips.

This class is designed to counter the negative effects of a busy Yang lifestyle, sitting for long periods of time, or any sport that can create imbalance in the body. The practice is intended to facilitate a connection to the more Yin aspects of our physical, emotional and spiritual selves.

Blankets, blocks and a bolster will be used. If you have your own props, please bring them to class.
