techniques, classic yoga poses and the philosophy of yoga and meditation. Gentle
Yoga is deeply beneficial for the spine, hips, knees, and shoulders
Gentle Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Building upon Gentle Yoga basics and benefits and going
deeper into linking breath to a slow flow of yoga poses. Deeper exploration
into yogic breathing and meditation techniques. Benefits the whole mind, body
and spirit with a little more challenging yoga experience.
Vinyasa Yoga
Our most challenging and creative style of yoga. It is a
fast moving and intense flow of mostly standing poses and intermediate/advanced
yoga positions. This is suitable for athletic beginners. Intensifies the focus
to the breath and meditation techniques. Some yoga experience would be helpful
but not necessary. This is a hot style of yoga, please bring a small hand towel
and dress in layers.
Restorative Yoga
Yoga Therapy—extremely relaxing, rejuvenating and healing
class. This style works in the nervous system to restore the connection and
balance between the mind and body and spirit. This is an excellent non-weight
bearing style of yoga for recuperation from illness, injury, surgery or a long
period of inactivity.
Men's Yoga (but not just for men)
An athletic astanga style of yoga taught by a man, for a
man's body type. Yoga poses are linked to the breath to create increased
concentration, flexibility, improved circulation, stamina, strength and
reduction of stress. Suitable for all continuing students and genders but be
prepared to work hard.
