Class Descriptions
Ashtanga/Vinyasa Yoga
Ready to heat it up?
For students who would really enjoy a more “active” style of yoga, this class is certainly that! Ashtanga is sometimes referred to as “power yoga” because the foundation of this style is based upon the dynamic flow of Surya Namaskara A & B, the Sun Salutations. Vinyasa is the unique linking of one asana (posture) to the next in a serpentine flow, meditation in motion. This vigorous sequencing connects the mind and body to the rhythm of the breath, heating the blood, cleaning and thinning it so that it may circulate more freely. Improved blood circulation relieves joint pain and removes toxins and disease from the internal organs. The sweat generated from the heat of Ashtanga/Vinyasa then carries the impurities out of the body.

Chair/Gentle Yoga
In this Chair/Gentle Yoga class, you’ll be guided through a variety of postures, some while seated in a chair and some while standing with the use of the chair. Sun Salutations and Vinyasa flows can be practiced during a chair Yoga session. Pranayama techniques (breathwork) and meditation are easily integrated into this unique & satisfying class. Each one-hour session explores yoga poses with chair variations, to flex, lengthen & strengthen. We encourage feelings of ease over stress & tension. This class is best suited to those Yogis with some limitation in mobility due to injury, arthritis, back discomfort, weight challenges, or for those simply seeking a more gentle style of Yoga.
Gentle Yoga
A great stretch for those who may be new to yoga, pregnant, postnatal or for those seeking something gentle on the body as well as seeking a calming of the mind.
Hatha Flow
A beautiful Hatha Yoga class flowing the body from one posture (asana) to the next, linking both the breath with the body, meditation in motion. This class will increase your energy, calm your mind, strengthen your body and will leave you feeling stronger, longer, open and ready to take on whatever lies ahead of you in your day! Hatha Flow promotes whole body awareness. Blissful!
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is most commonly practised for mental and physical health. It is the branch of yoga which concentrates on physical health and mental well-being. Hatha yoga uses bodily postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation (dyana) with the goal of bringing about a sound, healthy body and a clear, peaceful mind.
Kid's Yoga
Yoga is a healthy, natural, safe and enjoyable form of exercise and healing for the mind and body. Whether you are 5 or 15 our experienced teachers will introduce fun-filled ways to bend, stretch, relax and breath through music, themes, partnering & open interaction. Children’s brains grow throughout their lives and absorb all the physical, mental-emotional and environmental influences, some within our control, and some not in our power. In this fast paced world, slowing down with yoga helps children/teens be in the moment and experience the joys from within. Deep breathing, positive thinking, and other techniques aim to strengthen muscles, create balance and coordination, build self-esteem, courage and confidence, improve focus and clarity of thought while cultivating inner peace for overall wellness.
Kripalu Hatha
This practice stimulates self-knowledge and compassion in both body and mind.

The result? A personalized practice that addresses your needs in the here-and-now.
