Yoga Classes

This yoga class blends the faster flowing sequences of the Vinyasa style, with attention to individual poses, alignment, and mindfulness, to create an invigorating blend that builds both strength and heat in the body as well as calmness and stillness in the mind.

The two practices of yin and yang yoga are very different intentions, but both are very important for a balanced and healthy body. Yin activity is slow and steady with a sense of softness and surrender. Yang is mobile, and requires appropriate effort. The unique fusion of this class creates the perfect balance of building mobility and strength, while lengthening the muscles within the body. In this class we will practice both the active (yang) and the longer held poses (yin), creating a balance from the inside out.

Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a longer period of time (typically three to five minutes or longer) to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. In this class we will practice the slow moving yin poses in a soft candle lit space.

Based on the principles of alignment, ‘the wall’ is used as a prop to deepen yoga postures by opening and creating space in the body. Wall yoga can help you focus more on your body’s alignment, enhance the standing poses in your practice (think chair pose, eagle pose, triangle pose, etc.), and it can safely prepare you for inversions like headstand, shoulder-stand, and more. This class is great for beginners and those looking to take their practice to the next level.

With this type of yoga, you move your body slowly and deliberately into different poses that challenge your strength and flexibility, while at the same time focusing on relaxation and mindfulness. Hatha yoga places special emphasis on controlled breathing and posture to build core strength.

Yoga Nidra literally means yogic sleep. Yoga Nidra can be practiced by anyone. It holds immense benefits for all those who struggle to let go, those who suffer from lack of sleep, trauma, burn-out, and anxiety. It is also highly beneficial and holds great healing power for anyone who wants to experience a deeper sense of peace and re-connect more profoundly with themselves. The practice of Yoga Nidra leads us into a state of harmonious, restful being.  When we are in a state of deep sleep where our senses, intellect, and mind relax, we become free from the concepts of time, space and reason. When this happens, brain activity reduces and the body goes in the healing state.
