The
Level 1 class introduces students to the foundation of
hatha yoga (poses), pranayama (breathing techniques), and meditation.
Students learn basic yoga poses with emphasis on alignment and ease as
well as breathing techniques to de-stress the body and mind. Class ends
with deep relaxation and a short meditation. The asanas, pranayama and
meditation all help to promote an overall sense of well-being, physical
strengthening, mental/emotional calm and focus.
The Level 1-2 A great bridge to more a advanced practice, the
Level 1-2 helps build endurance and strength and introduces
students to a wider variety of poses.

The Level 2 class offers more challenging poses, for
example handstand, headstand, backbends, and a deeper pranayama
practice. The class ends with deep relaxation and meditation.

The Express class is a fifty minute yoga class with all the essentials: poses for stretch, strength and balance - and, of
course, relaxation.
The Restorative class offers a slower pace and plenty
of quiet time to recharge the body and mind with gentle stretching,
strengthening and restorative poses.
This class is beneficial for all
levels, including prenatal and postnatal. The class ends with deep
relaxation and meditation.

The Therapeutic Stretch class is open to students any age, new to yoga, or seasoned practioners. In a therapeutic stretch class, we will take the yoga poses at a slower pace than Level 1 and carefully work on alignment with isometrics. The goal is to create physical and mental balance, to relieve pain and stress. Yoga props - blocks, straps, bolsters and weights - are used as stretching aids. This class is good for people who experience discomfort from injury, tight muscles, back problems and numerous chronic conditions. This could also be a good starter class for our Level 1 Yoga.
The
Prenatal class offers women a yoga practice to help make
for a healthy, comfortable pregnancy and to prepare for labor. One of
the most important benefits of prenatal yoga is the friendship and support
of other mothers during pregnancy and after the birth. Over the years, we
are glad to see our prenatal classes have created a beautiful community of
family and friends. Partners, moms and friends are always welcome to
join the class!
The Mom & Baby class will focus on the specific needs of the postpartum body while promoting a healthy bond
between mom and baby. We'll work to help the babies reach important developmental milestones while helping the moms reconnect
with their core to help with posture, back discomfort and overall well being.
