Practice Descriptions

HOT Series

studio temp:100, time: 90 minutes

Wednesday, 6:30pm and Sunday, 4pm.  Practiced in a hot room with infrared heat, this class of 26 postures plus two breath exercises is designed for the experienced student or the beginner who is looking for a greater asana challenge. Physically intense postures are taught in tandem with breathwork and meditation, which translates into a complete workout for your body and your mind.  The higher heat warms the body for great detoxification, enhancing your flexibility and deepening your breath awareness.  A transformative practice that is an amazing experience each time!

Mind/Body Yoga (all levels invited)

time: 60-90 minutes

Tuesday/Thursday, 10:30-11:30am, Sunday 2:30-3:30pm and some Saturdays.  This integrated hatha practice includes strengthening, stretching and balancing with a focus on proper breathwork.  Influenced by Julie’s Viniyoga training, students will experience breath centric asana, breath adaptation in postures and pranayama leading to mediation.  The pace is designed to bring awareness to correct alignment and breathing techniques for all levels of student – nurturing your practice into something that will continually nurture you.  Regular practicioners who recognize that slowing down is what they need to balance their system will find tremendous benefit to their other yoga practices and fitness regimens.

Yoga for Back Health (all levels invited)

time: 70 minutes

Tuesday, 6pm.  Have you heard ‘sitting” is the new ‘smoking’?  Increasing your strength and flexibility in your back can improve your posture and circulation, influence other physical activities, reduce neck and low back pain and may even improve your self-confidence.  Discovering your relationship to your spine and knowing how to address your weaknesses will improve every aspect of your yoga practice.  This integrated practice will target strengthening and releasing tension in the muscles along your spine.  We will include both floor and standing postures, props possibly, and will stay in longer posture holds once we have prepared our bodies.  Every practice will uniquely target a particular area of the body to create healing and stability and allow you a deeper understanding of your own condition and how to change it.

PILATES PLUS

time: 60 minutes

Tuesday and Thursday, 9am.  Pilates is a unique system of stretching and strengthening exercises meant to trim and tone your belly, waist, hips, and legs, while building more core balance.  Each movement is paired with your inhale and exhale.  Classes will be tailored to your level by offering options to moderate or intensify any exercise.  Wait until you try Pilates with the creative use of props, it is just so much fun!

RESTORATIVE 

time: 75 minutes

Offered on occassion, Restorative yoga relieves fatigue and stress from our daily lives!  We can all benefit from this quieting practice.  With the use of props (like bolsters and blankets) you will be supported in postures for a lengthy period of time to allow your body to rest, heal and recover in the tranquility of our candlelit, private space.  Great after a long week of work, the best idea for energizing you for the weekend or for those that need to heal.   Bring a spouse or a friend and an intention to deeply relax!  Good for all levels of yogis.  Please, no perfume or cologne.  Limited spaces are available for this class, please be prompt.
