Movement and Intention-This offering will spend the first 30 minutes of class in active, fast paced movement utilizing vinyasa type flows. The second half of the class will focus on stretching and mindfulness creating an opportunity to experience and explore two opposite intentions in a one-hour setting. This class may appeal to those who would like to build endurance or stamina in a power yoga setting. For practitioners who find slower paced practices challenging (such as Meditation, Yin or Restorative Yoga) this is an opportunity for them to “dip their toes” into this type of setting for a shorter time duration. Lastly, folks who enjoy the broad spectrum that asana (postures, poses or shapes) has to offer but due to time constraints would like an “all-in-one” type of experience.
Power/Late Night Power- Sometimes you want to run away to yoga and burn it all down. This class offers you the escape of a power sequence that is an hour of postures that flow from one to the next, linked by breath. Options are offered for less intense and more advanced pose options. The dynamic mix of sweat and surrender will challenge you to your edge and encourage you to reach your true potential so you can return to your day revitalized and energized. You will likely break a sweat. We have restrooms for changing but no shower facilities.

Restorative- Whoa whoa whoa, you need to slow down! This is a relaxed pace, mindful practice that targets your deep muscles, along with the energetic pathways of the body, bringing the body into balance and increasing our natural range of motion. Most of the poses are done while seated or lying down supported by the use of props and are held in stillness for several minutes. As we dive deeper into stillness, we bring body, breath and mind into harmony. Restorative yoga can be a complement to a more physical practice. You will leave class feeling a sense of balance, refreshed, & restored.

Yin- Does your daily life make you a tight stress ball? Are you looking to stretch and unwind? Yin postures are held in stillness and mindful awareness for several minutes at a time. A perfect complement to more fast-paced forms of exercise (such as flow yoga, running, or biking), Yin Yoga addresses tightness and toxin buildup in the joints and muscle tissue through poses that are equally challenging for the mind and body. The result is not only more loose and flexible joints, but also a greater sense of alignment, balance, and PEACE. Props make the practice accessible to people of all abilities. Our Yin is an all levels class, suitable for beginners and seasoned yogis, alike.
