class schedule

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:

Yoga Level I: Hatha yoga based class where flowing postures married with breathwork offer a great stretch and deep relaxation. Open to all levels with many modifications offered. Lots of explanations of postures and practices.

Yoga Level II: Vinyasa style yoga class paced a little quicker than level one. Comfort with postures such as Downward Facing Dog would be suitable. Recommended experience would be approximately six months.

Gentle Yoga : Specially designed practice for the mature body or those recovering from illness or injury. Can be enjoyed seated in a chair or in other supported ways. Ease stiffness in the joints, increase muscle strength, build bone mass and enjoy relaxation.

Bliss Restorative Yoga: A very safe, welcoming all level class open to everyone. All the tools in the therapeutic yoga toolbox will be employed to bring balance to mind, body and spirit. Improve sleep, manage chronic disease and pain, reduce the impact of stress on your system. Highly recommended to prevent or alleviate almost all health concerns. Participants should be able to rest supported on the floor.

Core Fundamentals: Excellent for stabilizing joints, building bone mass and strengthening back/core muscles. We will utilize relaxation, weights, resistance training, stretching and aspects of pilates. Clients should bring 2 - 3 pound hand weights and 1 pound ankle weights, if they have them. Class is open to all levels, expertly constructed so everyone can get a good workout but be safe at all times. You are especially encouraged to attend if you have joint pain, back instability, hip discomfort, knee pain or shoulder/neck tension, or if your health practitioner has recommended core exercise.

Kassandra's Yoga for All Bodies (especially curvy ones): A practice adapted for bodies beyond size 10! Kassandra has adjusted her own asana practice as the years have progressed and is ecstatic to share with you her personal insights and professional training. If you do not have a rounder body, you will still enjoy her intelligent and precise approach to asana. All are welcome.

Eva's Happy Hour Yoga Tune Up: A fun and relaxing way to wrap up your week. Eva brings an innovative and strength oriented approach to yoga postures. You'll definitely try something new. One of the highlights is the self massage with her patented therapy balls. Pure bliss! Suitable for all levels assuming no active injury or illness.

Yoga Sculpt: Finding a Vital You is based on the classic 8 limbed path of yoga. This is not a boot camp but rather an intelligent embracing of ancient wisdom that leads to shedding what is hiding your beauty! Includes physical exercise, relaxation, mindfulness, nutrition and yoga philosophy.

Morning Practice with Melanie: An early bird class that awakens the body mindfully and gently. Meditation,
breathwork and flowing asana are featured.
