*** All of our classes are All Levels classes (except for the Advanced Pilates)***

Hatha Yoga: Classic yoga postures (asanas) that move with your breath to help you reduce stress and increase strength and flexibility. These classes are approximately 50% stretching poses and 50% strengthening and toning poses, all combined with proper breathing and grounding techniques. A flexible body is a youthful body!

Hatha Yoga II: Hatha Yoga II will build on the postures from the Hatha Yoga classes. Beginner variations through to advanced variations will be given. Flows will be a little more challenging to help take your practice to the next level.

Power Flow: In this fast paced flowing class, strength, flexibility and stamina are all emphasized. This is a vigorous style of yoga that combines Power Yoga and strong Hatha Yoga flows and postures (asanas). Be prepared to sweat!

Gentle Flow:  This class takes a gentler approach to the traditional Power Flow style, focusing on healing the body and mind through a connection with the breath and mindful movements to reduce tension and increase energy.  This is a practice of gentle flowing postures that will warm and open the body, encourage internal health and quiet the mind. Postures can be modified for any level. Suited for beginners and experienced  students.

Pilates:A dynamic workout that focuses on flattening the tummy and toning and strengthening the entire body.  It will help to isolate, activate and condition deep core muscles, increase flexibility and improve body mechanics, awareness and posture.  It will also help to alleviate stress and tension and will aid in improving back pain.  Challenging and lots of fun!

Advanced Pilates:  If you have been doing Pilates for more than 6 months you are ready for this class.  You know the breathing, what is a spinal neutral, legs in table top and you have movement control.  To make sure about your Pilates level, an advanced student is able to do “the hundred” with legs straight forward, “the half or full roll back” with NO hands helping behind thighs, “full plank” for at least 40 seconds non stop and “the short spine stretch or roll over” controlled while rolling back.  You can ask your instructor if you are ready for this class.  At this class we are going to spend more time doing the exercises than explaining details about them, we will do more advanced positions and of course burn more calories.  All athletes and advanced yoga students are welcome.

Belly, Buns & Thighs Yoga: This energetic yoga class will define and sculpt your abs and lower body. Create tight, toned shapely buns and thighs and a firm and strong core. You will burn fat, detoxify your system and acquire greater fitness and flexibility in both mind and in body.

Restorative Yoga:  This class will leave you feeling refreshed and relaxed.  Props will be used to support your body in long held reclining positions to stretch and relax the whole body.  A special emphasis will be made on chest opening, stretching the hips, and releasing tension from the neck and shoulders to counter-act the stress held in the body from the daily office grind. Unwind in a nurturing, comfortable, safe environment. Students of all abilities and levels of fitness and flexibility are respected, encouraged and welcome to come and let go of their tension.  A perfect compliment to a more active practice, or for those that just want a slower, deeper, meditative pace.

Yin Yoga: In Yin Yoga the poses are held for several minutes at a time in order to the stretch the connective tissues around the joints.  It encourages long held floor poses to enhance energy distribution through the Yin parts of the body, namely the bones and connective tissues that bind them. This style of practice, done slowly and safely, nourishes the natural range of motion of the joints, which allows for more ease throughout the entire body.  This practice is a unique to most yoga today.  This is the type of practice that dancers and martial artists have adopted to assist them in creating an elongated muscle, maximum flexibility and range of motion.  You are able to access a deeper state of meditation as you have the time to practice self awareness, stillness and quiet, the balance for our extremely busy lives.
