Align

A great alternative to Vinyasa, the focal point of Align is shape, safety and shri (radiance or emanation). The cueing in Align consists of precise bio-mechanical alignment and actions necessary to safely create, sustain and deepen into a pose. Beyond bio-mechanical knowledge, the cueing in Align reveals a thread of consistent actions that can be applied to every yoga pose which creates the perfect balance of novelty and familiarity. By fixing your attention on your body and taking precise actions, you can access a meditative state that expands your capacity for relating to yourself on and off your mat.

Vinyasa

Vinyasa is a system of yoga in which the breath is coordinated with the movement and the movements or postures are linked together in a continuous flow. The system is known for it’s strong yet fluid approach to yoga, in which strength, agility and flexibility are developed with continued practice. The Vinyasa II-III classes invite intermediate/advanced practitioners to engage with their practice with deeper level of conscious embodiment. Advanced poses may be on the offered, but not necessarily.

Mindfulness

Mindful yoga is a meditation of motion and stillness that runs counter to our busy, scattered, fast paced, and anxious modern culture. It is a truly integrated mind body practice that trains patience, steadiness focus and acceptance. In mindfulness yoga we consciously connect to the physical experience of body and breath as a focus to train our awareness to be stable, calm, genuine, and present. We practice making peace with our body, our emotions, and our thoughts. We learn to make peace with, and tame our inner restlessness and anxiety so that we can experience genuine natural presence in the moment. We practice resting in the long burning intensity of poses, learning to experience everything that happens peacefully and openly without judgement or interpretation. With patience, willingness and careful practice this style of yoga can integrate us with our experience of the present moment so that we can truly be a clear, beneficial presence in the world.

Sound Bath Meditation

Experience deep relaxation through an immersive sound journey where you are “bathed” in the therapeutic sounds of Himalayan, quartz and crystal alchemy singing bowls, gongs and other sonic instruments. Release stress and restore energetic balance in your body through vibrational sound healing. Offered by donation first and third Saturdays of each month (7:30-8:30pm).

Chakra Yin

Chakra Yin is a quiet and cooling practice where students stay close to the ground, move slowly, and hold in poses with limited muscle engagement. There is an emphasis on softening in a yin practice and it offers an essential balance to active (yang) lifestyles and environments. These classes provide students with a soothing and safe space to go inward while nourishing their joints, tendons, and connective tissues, and regulating the nervous system through mindful breathing, mantra, and guided meditation. Classes incorporate the chakra system and are themed around one or multiple chakras to help stimulate energetic healing, freedom, and flow. Teachers play intentional, soft music to support in aligning the chakras and to curate a whole body experience.
