class descriptions

vinyasa flow

vinyasa is the synchronization of breath with movement. Vinyasa flow postures are linked together in a continuous flow. Vinyasa is more than a simple set of physical maneuvers; the flow of the practice with the breath bring together the internal and the external. The practice engages prana, or energy found within the breath, and leaves the practioner feeling energized.

yin and yang

the combination of passive (yin) and vigorous (yang) yoga practices, is rooted in the idea that, in order to create balance in your overall practice, you need to alternately exert and quiet yourself.

in traditional yoga, this pair of complementary wings is known as abhyasa (practice) and vairagya (dispassion).  The yang practice consists primarily of a flowing sequence of standing postures, much like an extended Sun Salutation. The yin sequence  targets the deep, dense connective tissues – the tendons, ligaments and cartilage, and activates the movement of prana or “life force” through the core of the body.

hot power 

this hot class combines a dynamic set of fluid and intuitively sequenced postures combined with breath technique to build strength, balance, coordination and ultimately grace. This class will help to develop mindful movement and reduce stress through concentration and a vigorous discipline.

yin  

yin yoga brings our attention to the deep connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine through a series of positions practiced on the floor and held from three to five minutes. As a complement to the more dynamic (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize the contracting of muscles, Yin Yoga establishes a safe and controlled environment for the muscles to relax, allowing the connective tissue to be gently lengthened and strengthened. Yin Yoga also helps develop a mindful meditation practice and encourages the flow of energy through the hip areas.

kids yoga 

yoga is a discipline that creates health and well-being by building awareness, strength, and flexibility in both mind and body.  It is also a practice of cultivating positive life skills that serve us as we step off of our mats into the world.  Beginning to practice yoga as children, we learn to embrace our own beautiful gifts, those of each other, and live our lives with abundant joy.

in our kids yoga classes, there is a balance between spontaneity and structure, so that children learn to listen to themselves and each other as well as express themselves creatively.  Interweaving story, song, games and poses, children learn in a multi-sensory environment, exploring kinesthetic, visual, and aural learning.  Children are also encouraged to respect and pay attention to their bodies, making sure each pose feels good and coming in and out of positions when they feel ready (something most adults have a hard time doing!).

children from ages 5-10 are invited to come play yoga!  Move, stretch, breathe, sing, play games, and celebrate life together!  Dynamic explorations in vinyasa and partner poses are also introduced, making this class a fun and magical journey.

 Christian Yoga 

Christian yoga is a style of Hatha yoga delivered in such a manner that gives Christians the opportunity to feel comfortable and openly worship our God while caring for our temples.  Yoga is a methodology, not a theology.  It can be used by any religion or no religion at all. We will begin with a time of de-stress and relaxation with guided prayer and scripture reading followed by gentle pose options for beginner to intermediate levels. This Gentle Journey will encourage students to incorporate their breath and body movement as they flow from posture to posture while stretching, flexing and strengthening the muscles of their body, mind and spirit.  Christ-centered yoga will close with a time of relaxation, prayer and inward meditation, as we guide the heart back to our initial focus set at the beginning of class. Music for the class will be a calming, joyful fusion of Christian music and relaxing instrumentals.  All denominations of believers in Christ welcome!  

 “You surely know that your body is a temple where the Holy Spirit lives. The Spirit is in you and is a gift from God. You are no longer your own. God paid a great price for you. So use your body to honor God.”  1Cor.6:19-20
