Fall Schedule

 Experience the many benefits that practicing yoga can bring to your life. Connecting mind and body, creating balance in our lives by taking the time to be present in the moment. A yoga mat, 2 blocks and a strap are recommended for these classes. 

• Yoga Flow ~ Yoga flow is a vinyasa style class where you will flow with the breath through a series of postures, improving strength, mobility, balance, flexibility and stamina. This class is a faster pace with a lot of up and down from the floor. Some yoga experience is recommended for this class style. Two yoga blocks are recommended for this class.

• Hatha Yoga ~  Hatha yoga is a gentler and slower paced practice where will focus on improving our strength, balance, and flexibility. You will leave this class feeling refreshed, relaxed, and renewed. Hatha yoga is a terrific place for beginners to start, or those that simply prefer a slower pace. Also appropriate for those that may need special consideration for health conditions or joint and mobility issues. Two yoga blocks and a strap are recommended for this class.

• TRX Yoga Flow ~ Unlike any yoga class you have experienced, these classes infuse strength, mobility, balance and stamina through an athletic style vinyasa flow for a whole new take on power yoga, utilizing the TRX straps throughout the class to lengthen and support our bodies.  Two yoga blocks and a small blanket or towel are recommended for this class.  

• Yang/Yin Yoga ~  Start with some hatha yoga followed up with a combination of restorative and yin poses that are held for longer periods of time to target the connective tissues, and finishing with a calming, guided relaxation. The slower and more passive style encourages flexibility and complete relaxation. Please bring 2 blocks and 2 blankets with you to class.

• Yoga Trapeze ~ There are 7 basic movement patterns that we need for a healthy body. While we hit most of these in a regular yoga class, there is one element that is completely missing, and that is the element of  pulling. The Yoga Trapeze allows us to add pulling motion into our repertoire to help create balanced bodies. Yoga Trapeze is a fantastic tool to help us build our strength, increase our flexibility, and work  on our balance. Specifically, you will see an increase in grip strength, upper body strength and core strength, all while having fun. Yoga Trapeze also offers spinal traction. Explained simply, spinal traction  helps to create space between our vertebrae, which can help relieve tension and pain in the back. With the trapeze we can invert safely, to find the benefits of spinal traction. Traction alone will not cure back pain, but traction in conjunction with the strengthening and flexibility poses on the Trapeze will help you along your journey.  
  
• Gentle Mobility+ ~  Our bodies work best when we are able to move easily and without restriction. Life however often causes movement limitations that need to be addressed so our bodies can move better. Utilizing a combination of hatha chair yoga, flowing movement, longer held stretches, and foam rolling/fascia release techniques, this class will work on both your mobility and flexibility to help you move better in your day-to-day life.

• Yoga Nidra ~  If you are looking for deep relaxation, look no further. Yoga Nidra is  also known as yogic sleep. You will begin with some very gentle movement  to prepare your body to settle in for a fully guided meditation all  while resting in a supported posture, utilizing bolsters, blocks and  blankets to allow your body to be comfortable and at ease. Yoga Nidra  can help to reduce stress and anxiety, as well as improve sleep and  focus. 

Just because we aren’t kids anymore doesn’t mean we don’t want to have fun while we workout right? According to ACSM – American College of Sports Medicine; “Group exercise offers a variety of benefits you might miss out on if you choose to work out on your own. Some of the benefits include exposure to a social and fun environment, a safe and effectively designed workout, a consistent exercise schedule, an accountability factor for participating in exercise, and a workout that requires no prior exercise knowledge or experience.”

• Core Fusion ~   Our core is more than just our abs! We can’t forget the hips, glutes, back, diaphragm and pelvic floor! Having a strong core will help improve your posture, your balance, and your ability to move in a pain free way. A strong core can also help prevent future injury. In this Pilates inspired class you will learn to control and stabilize your core while coordinating movement with the breath and improving your focus and concentration. You will leave this class feeling relaxed, but also like you’ve worked. Give it a try to see how strengthening the core can affect all of your other workouts and your daily life in a positive way.
