| HOT Yoga |
|
Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic and energizing flowing sequence of yoga postures (or "asanas"). The word vinyasa also means "flow" - or the
linking of one movement into the next, one breath into the next. These posture flows, combined with the heat, constitute one of the
most powerful forms of physical and spiritual fitness.
Vinyasa yoga is designed to promote lower and upper body strength through the center, and build balance with flexibility all while coordinating the body, breath, movement, and spirit. Vinyasa yoga will strengthen your cardiovascular system, sculpt and tone every muscle in your body, build your endurance, focus your mind and warm your spirit. Because of the smooth way that the poses run together it feels like a dance. Students of all levels are welcome. Classes are done in a hot room (usually 90-100 degrees) so come well hydrated and ready to sweat! PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN MAT. |
| Yin Yoga |
|
Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any other school of yoga; however, it directs the stimulation normally
created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissues (which we are calling the yang tissues). Yin Yoga
targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a
more active style of asana practice.
Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. While initially this style of yoga can seem quite boring, passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. We can remain in the postures anywhere from one to twenty minutes! Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. You need to experience this to really know what Yin Yoga is all about. After you have experienced it, even just once, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana practice. Please note: Yin Yoga is not restorative yoga. Like all yoga practices, if the tissues you are targeting for exercise are damaged in some way, please give yourself a chance to heal before resuming your regular practice.

| Power Yoga / HOT |

Power Vinyasa was founded by Baron Baptiste, “…a dynamic combination of strength, sweat and spirituality.
It detoxifies, heals, and electrifies. This accessible, challenging and flowing form of yoga will lead you to a state of transformation --
it will sculpt, tone and hone the muscles of your body and your mind." A balance of physical challenge, emotional depth, and simple playfulness.
The benefits of power vinyasa yoga can be experienced on many levels. On the physical level, you will gain strength, flexibility, coordination, and notice an increase in stamina and endurance as your body heals and becomes more balanced. Emotionally and spiritually, you will gain an increased sense of consciousness as calmness begins to permeate your life. By becoming less stressed and more calm doing yoga, you will improve your self image and become more inwardly attractive to the people around you.

| Yoga Elements |
|
This class is appropriate for all levels. It includes sun and moon salutations, standing poses, backbends, forward bends, twists and relaxation. The poses are chosen to balance the five elements - earth, fire, water, space and air - as they manifest in the body, mind and environment. The class draws intuition from ayurveda - yoga's sister science - to shape yoga practice for what is most beneficial given the elements as they change in the environment and in our individual bodies and minds. The class also includes some introductory pranayama (breathing) techniques and mantra (chanting) practices.

| Kundalini Yoga |
|
The Kundalini is untapped energy (prana) at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the Crown Chakra. Kundalini energy is often represented as a snake coiled at the base of the spine. Each Kundalini Yoga asana series is done in conjunction with a specific breath that intensifies the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. Kundalini sequences (called kriyas) may consist of rapid, repetitive movements done with breath or holding a pose while breathing in a particular way. A Kundalini class will usually consist of a warm-up to stretch the spine and improve flexibility, a sequence of poses (a kriya) that focus on a specific area of the body, and meditation, including the use of chanted mantras, pranayama, and mudras. Kundalini devotees often wear flowing white robes and head wraps. Kundalini is one of the more spiritual types of yoga. It goes beyond the physical performance of poses with its emphasis on breathing, meditation, and chanting. However, the Kundalini sequences are very physically intense. This type of yoga appeals to those who are up for both mental and physical challenges. |

| Prenatal Yoga |
|
I've seen plenty pregnant women in class and have seen at least 10 go through most or all of the full term of their
pregnancy while practicing asana in my class at least 3 times per week with very good results.
In general, the abdominal region needs to be protected from stress, strain and compression. So, I would avoid all poses that have you lay on your stomach.Similarly, as you get bigger avoid forward bends that compress the stomach region. To avoid this compression, as you get bigger, spread your legs more and more, creating room for the stomach. Also avoid stomach exercises that strain the stomach region. I find no problem or negative effects about inversions and I’ve practiced them myself while being pregnant with my two kids, although some may need to be modified to avoid compression. If something does not feel right, don't second-guess your self. Skip it or modify it. The larger you get the more you will need to modify most all poses to fit your size, needs and energy levels. After intuition, your breathing is your greatest ally. Make sure your breathing is calm and even at all times. If your breath is strained or becomes erratic, it is a sure sign that you are becoming stressed. I am only sharing my opinions and my experience. At all times listen to yourself. If you are pregnant welcome to this amazing journey!!! Go here for more info. |
