(90-95 degrees) Appropriate for all levels. This class is gentle enough for beginners while still feeling challenged. The room is heated enough to aid muscular flexibility and prevent injury, leaving you cleansed, exhilarated and balance. Great music complements all of our classes!
(95-100 degrees) Features dynamic flowing sequences combined with controlled breathing to create a moving meditation. This class emphasizes core strength, balance, and stamina, in addition to giving you, as the practitioner an opportunity, to dive deeper into your inner universe. Perfect for surfers and non-surfers alike, this class will give you the tools to make riding the waves of life (and the ocean) a little sweeter! We strongly recommend taking the beginner vinyasa class if you are a less experienced yoga practitioner.
(100-105 degrees) This class is a fusion that gracefully unites the hatha (slow paced, holding postures) and vinyasa styles of yoga. This fusion is open to ALL levels. This calss systematically works the entire body from head to toe, focusing on healing and improving the function of every organ, muscle, and joint. When the body is nourished and well taken care of, so is the mind. As above, so below!
(105+ degrees) This class follows the prescribed 26 postures that are practiced in Bikram studios. It is great for people who have any wrist or shoulder injuries, as there are minimal weight-bearing postures. This class is also great for people who enjoy spending time in each posture rather than flowing from one to the next. These postures are meant to gradually open the body to move into the depths of the more advanced postures. This class uses the same sequence each time, so it’s a great way to gauge your practice’s development from week to week, day to day.
Yin yoga consists mostly of seated, deep stretch. It targets the “yin tissues” in the body, the connective tissues—ligaments, bones, and even joints—by holding poses for longer periods of time (3-5 mins). While yang styles of yoga are very popular in our society, our bodies are constantly striving to restore balance, which yin yoga does. Incredibly conducive to a meditative state, the stillness of the practice teaches the mind and body two valuable lessons: receptivity and acceptance. This practice is unheated, suitable for all levels of students, and serves as sweet nectar for the soul.
A blend between Yin Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga. Class starts off slowly focusing on our deep tissues in fascia joints and bones as we hold Asanas for a longer period of time to effect our deeper connective tissue bones, joints and ligaments. We explore breathing and the body with yin asanas. Slowly we will then awaken the body with a little flow to strengthening our muscles, increase metabolism, building a sweat. During savasana crystal Quartz singing bowls will be played to help balance, quiet, and calm your body. The perfect finish after balancing the yin and yang of your physical body. This class will help restore your balance to get you through the rest of the week!!!
