Class Descriptions

 The word “vinyasa” can be translated as “arranging something in a special way,” like yoga poses (asanas) for example. In vinyasa yoga classes, students coordinate movement with breath to flow from one asana to the next.  Vinyasa is also the term used to describe a ​specific ​sequence of asanas (Chaturanga to Upward-Facing Dog to Downward-Facing Dog​)​ commonly used throughout a vinyasa class​. Modifications are offered to make this class enjoyable for all levels. 

*In heated classes the room is safely heated using infrared heaters and humidity is added. The heat index is monitored to ensure safety.

Brief meditation grounds and centers students.  Attention given to gentle range of motion.  Asana instruction follows at mindful pace with attention given to alignment.  Modifications to asana are given to fit student's needs when warranted.   All levels may benefit.  Good class for beginners and those wishing to reacquaint themselves with a basic asana practice.   The flow of the class will vary.  

 This practice promotes physical and mental well-being. Although classical yoga also includes other elements, yoga as practiced in the United States typically emphasizes physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation (dyana). This class may or may not include the Vinyasa Sequence 

Suitable for all 

 The practice of Yin targets the connective tissue of the body, lengthening the muscles of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Many of the poses are seated, supine, or prone, and are held with the muscle relaxed for at least three to five minutes. This deep practice is gentle yet intense, helping to release tension and practice staying present. Yin complements the more muscularly strenuous styles of yoga. Yin is beginner friendly. 

 Participants will hold each pose for three to five breaths. This gives you more time in each pose to adjust to, and understand, more specific alignment. This practice will give your wrists and shoulders a break because there will be less time spent with your hands on the mat.
