Foundations to Flow

Whether you're brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, foundations to flow is the class for you! Many "Power" and "Vinyasa" flow classes can be intimidating and quite challenging--the pace is faster and the sequences are more complex. This class will provide you with the basic foundation or brush-up, if you're a seasoned practitioner, to explore and delve deeper into the practice. The pace is slower, allowing you to really marinate into each yogic pose. Each week, the class will have a different focus, ranging from core awakening, heart opening, to preparing for handstand. In Foundations to Flow, you will learn how to safely build your strength and flexibility in body, mind, and spirit--building a solid foundation for a deep and powerful yogic practice. If you're a seasoned practitioner, be prepared for those seemingly "easy" poses or transitions to get hard again! In this class, you'll be able to focus on the subtle details that you most likely ignore in a fast pace flow class. These "little" subtleties will open a whole new pathway for your practice: your transitions will feel seamless, your breath will feel lighter, and your body will be stronger.

Yin/Yang Yoga

At the end of a long week, you want to move and groove a little. But, you’ve also got lots of kinks from all that time you spent sitting hunched over your computer. So, do you go to the sweaty vinyasa class? Or to a gentle stretch class? Well, you can do both! In Yin/Yang Yoga we will balance an active, dynamic vinyasa practice for strong and flexible muscles with Yin style passive, long-held poses that cultivate steadiness of mind and flexibility and ease in the joints. You will feel invigorated, refreshed, and ready for the weekend!
Version B: Yin/Yang Yoga provides the benefits of a balanced practice of Yin and Yang styles of yoga. The more active, dynamic, Yang style of vinyasa strengthens and invigorates the body and mind. The Yin style of long-held passive poses opens the body to more flexibility and chi flow through the subtle channels while also engendering a more contemplative, non-reactive quality of mind. Emotionally, we are training an ability to stay with our experience as it is.

Yoga Nidra

Yoga means "union" and implies adjoining or completeness; integration. Yoga Nidra is the integrative sleep of the yogis-a unique combination of alert awareness in deepest relaxation. It takes you to the alpha and theta states of consciousness, far beyond ordinary waking consciousness. In these deep states, the mystical integrative powers of the third eye and the higher centers of consciousness are released. This is the center where visions become reality, giving you direct access to the extraordinary powers of your own intuition, creativity, health in abundance. There are many techniques for systematically bringing one into this state. Yoga Nidra is not merely a technique and much more than a relaxation exercise. Yoga Nidra is: impersonal attentiveness, meditative awareness, and witness consciousness. "Yoga Nidra goes beyond wakefulness and dreaming. It is an awakening of the deep, deep stillness of what is within you."
