All classes are customized to your interests, goals and abilities at your location
Styles
Anusara
Anusara yoga is a school of hatha yoga, which unifies a life-affirming Shiva-Shakti Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment
Hatha
Traditional Hatha Yoga is a holistic yogic path, including moral disciplines, physical postures (asana), purification procedures (shatkriya), poses (mudra), yogic breathing (pranayama), and meditation
Kriya
The Kriya technique emphasizes the relationship between breath and mind. The breath influences the mind and vice-versa
Kundalini
Kundalini Yoga has been documented as a system of exercises and meditations which claim to provide extensive benefits for personal spiritual growth as well as improving mental and physical well-being
Partner
Partner Yoga is an accelerated path to experience directly the root principle of Yoga - union. To experience union, we relax into the present moment and our individual presence. From this primary connection with ourselves, we realize our essential sameness and unity with others
Restorative
Restorative Yoga is a therapeutic style of yoga which utilizes props to make it easier for the body to get into certain poses, and thus, surrender to the pose. Practicing poses using props provides a completely supportive environment for total relaxation. The more your body is supported in the poses the deeper the sense of relaxation. Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet. Typically, Restorative poses are sustained for ten minutes or for as long as you are comfortable
Tantra
Tantra teaches about breathing, positions, and communication skills that will add to your experience spiritually and bring more pleasure into the union if a partner is involved. Learn about having an experience of the flow of sexual and spiritual energy in your body(ies) and sharing that with all involved
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Yoga is characterized by a focus on viṅyāsa, or a dynamic connecting posture, that creates a flow between the more static traditional yoga postures. Vinyasa translates as linking and the system also implies the linking of the movement to the breath. Essentially the breath dictates the movement and the length of time held in the postures. Unlike some Hatha yoga styles, attention is also placed on the journey between the postures not just the postures themselves
Core Strengthening
Yoga designed to strengthen abdominals and back and includes both abs-focused Vinyasa power yoga poses and variations of muscle-toning moves
Specialties
Chakras
Chakras are energy centers along the spine located at major branchings of the human nervous system, beginning at the base of the spinal column and moving upward to the top of the skull
Mantra
A mantra is a sound, syllable, word, or group of words that are considered capable of "creating transformation" (cf. spiritual transformation)
Meditation
Meditation often involves invoking and cultivating a feeling or internal state
Mudra
A mudrā is a spiritual gesture and an energetic seal of authenticity
