VINYASA FLOW
(pronounced "vin-yah-sah")
Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word for a phrase that roughly translates as "to place in a special way," referring—in hatha yoga—to a sequence of poses. Vinyasa classes are known for their fluid, movement-intensive practices. Classes are sequenced to smoothly transition from pose to pose, with the intention of linking breath to movement. No two vinyasa classes are the same. If you hate routine and love to test your physical limits, vinyasa just may be your ticket.
POWER FLOW
Power Flow Yoga is a vigorous vinyasa-style practice with dynamic movement from one posture to the next using the rhythm of each inhale and exhale. Classes begin with flowing sun or moon salutes, connecting breath with movement to warm and invigorate the body, then continue with standing postures to build strength and balance, seated postures and backbends to release the muscles, and surrender postures to restore the mind. Core work, advanced postures, and inversions may be practiced in this class. Practitioners are strongly encouraged to listen to their bodies and take the practice at their own pace.
YIN
Looking for a restful and quiet yoga class that cultivates peace of mind and a healthy body?
In Yin Yoga, poses will be focused on passive stretching with longer holds, generally for 3-5 minutes. Prepare to be supported with props supported such as bolsters to allow for a deep release and nurturing experience. You will have the opportunity to cultivate a meaningful connection between breath and body. Yin Yoga promotes healthy joints and fascia, strengthens the immune system and supports good digestion as it move us away from the stress response (fight or flight) towards a place of rest and digest.
Yin is the perfect balance to an active lifestyle, suitable for all levels and completely safe for all stages of pregnancy.
YIN YANG
Whilst Power/Vinyasa Yoga energizes and clarifies us, Yin Yoga centers and rejuvenates us; integrated together into a flowing practice, they create a strong and flexible body and a calm mind. Yang flow styles of yoga target the muscles, cardio vascular system, and generally employ rhythmic repetitive movements to stress the fibers and cells of the muscles. Being elastic and moist, the muscles appreciate this form of exercise. Whereas Yin yoga is a centering, quiet practice and focuses on the body's connective tissue. Both forms practiced together are a perfect blend.
PRENATAL YOGA
A practice uniquely designed for pregnancy, Prenatal Yoga can help support moms-to-be emotionally and physically. With an emphasis on breathing, stamina, pelvic floor work, restorative poses, and core strength, Prenatal Yoga can help you become more resilient during and after pregnancy. Suitable for all trimesters all the way through to birth.
