Seated meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), Surya Namaskara (Sun Salutation) variations, core strengthening, and a wide range of standing and seated postures will be included. Previous yoga experience recommended. return to top CHAKRA FLOW/KUNDALINI These classes are designed to open and balance 7 main centers known as Chakras, or energy “wheels” within the body. The Chakras relate to different physical and emotional aspects of ourselves and when they are out of balance we can experience stress, aches, and pains as signals of the imbalance. Each class will focus on different Chakras to help bring the body, mind, and spirit to alignment. The classes include variations of Sun Salutations and uplifting Kundalini Yoga exercises and meditations to bring you a place of wholeness. This is a fun and flowing class for all levels. return to top KUNDALINI Kundalini yoga is an ancient yoga discipline designed to heal the body, mind, and soul by using specific sets of exercises to open the seven Chakras. This practice utilizes asana (physical exercises), pranayama (breathing exercises), mantras, mudras (hand positions), and meditation to achieve a state of personal balance. Kundalini yoga is an invigorating practice that leaves one feeling energized and healed. While it is easy to do and accessible for most levels of students, it is not a gentle practice. Be prepared to move and be moved! return to top YIN Suitable for most levels of students, Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues (ligaments, bones, and joints) of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine through relaxation and meditation in seated postures. Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat and the lengthening/contracting of our muscles. return to top RESTORATIVE This all levels restorative practice will include "active relaxation" - supporting the body with blankets, blocks, and other props to support postures which are held for several minutes. This will alternatively stimulate and relax the body allowing it to move towards balance. This practice is very beneficial to health, can reduce the effects of stress-related disease, and will leave you nourished and well rested. return to top
