YOGA - TYPES OF CLASSES

Yoga Class Descriptions

Gentle Hatha

In Gentle Hatha Yoga, we will take the time to disconnect from the daily grind through mindful breathing and movement.  A sequence of slow, basic asanas (yoga postures) and focused breathing will lead us into a peaceful state of being.

Hatha Yoga

Hatha is a very general term that can encompass many of the physical types of yoga. A Hatha style class is slower-paced and gentle and provides a good introduction to the basic yoga poses.

Yoga for Cancer Care

This is a class designed uniquely for people who have been diagnosed with cancer. Wherever you are in your treatment plan, this class will help you increase your quality of life. Participants have the option to stand or lie on the ground during the class or remain seated throughout. Using mindfulness, breathing, physical postures and relaxation, participants will learn tools to help toward health and healing.

Yoga: A Practice of Self Care

The benefits of yoga are legendary; you are invited to experience the truth of this for yourself.

Yin yoga tends to be slow, steady & stationary with a sense of softness; the focus is on the connective tissues in building stability and flexibility.

Yang yoga activity is more mobile and requires effort in building strength & mobility in muscles.

We need a blend of the two for optimal functioning. 

Self Care - that's what it is all about!

Yoga & Meditation

First you will learn how to perform each external pose, then how to hold and to focus on the internal mental aspect of each pose. Patience is part of the experience. The second half of the class will focus on a seated meditation. Yoga is mind and body working in true harmony!

Beginner (Co-Ed)

We will introduce you to yoga step-by-step in a small group class, with explanations of the postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama), which allows for more personal one-to-one corrections. This is open to anyone who is completely new to yoga or anyone who would like to go back to the basics.
