Alignment Based Hatha Yoga

Hatha is a classical form of practice where there is longer holding of poses. Classes will include warm up exercises, sun salutations and postures to encourage flexibility, strength and balance, as well as relaxation. There will be a strong focus on alignment inspired by teachings from Iyengar Yoga.

You will explore basic poses more deeply, as well as practice intermediate and advanced poses. By repeating poses and staying in them longer, you have time to discover a deeper level of understanding of both basic and more refined levels of alignment: inner and outer, shape and direction, form and function. Being still in a pose will become effortless and joyful.

All levels are welcome. Moderate to vigorous intensity.

Hatha Yoga is a classical form of practice where there is longer holding of poses than in a vinyasa style. This gives time for students to learn and understand how to get into and out of poses safely and hold them more comfortably, with stability.

Classes will include warm up exercises; possibly some sun salutations (a graceful series of poses performed as one fluid movement, coordinated with the breath); postures to encourage flexibility, strength and balance; breathing techniques for building internal strength and stability; and deep relaxation for the health of the nervous system, body and mind.
Students will be invited into yoga postures through step-by-step verbal description and demonstration. Emphasis is placed on student safety and stability within each pose.

This accessible class is an ideal choice for anyone looking to develop a practice of conscious, mindful gentle movement. Students are encouraged to practice at their own level of strength, flexibility and endurance.

All levels are welcome and encouraged. This will be a more gentle class.

Sometimes called the yoga of awareness, Kundalini Yoga combines all of the traditional tools of mantra, breath, and meditation in a unified conversation with the body, using the yogi’s inherent wisdom and personal comfort level to achieve healing. Taught in the form of Kriyas (sets of exercises that target the needs of the body, mind, and soul…there are thousands!), yogis use individual awarenesses and comfort levels to [process], release, heal, and expand through exercise while always meditating and breathing…a practice that follows from the mat to the world.

All levels are welcome. Intensity level is moderate to vigorous.

Reiki Healing Circle (monthly)

2023, from a numerological perspective, offers an invitation for a deeper exploration of all aspects of our selves as well as the world at large.

Number 7 is the number of the mystic, the seeker, the wise one, who does not accept what the surface offers as the true reality.

The monthly Reiki circle is an opportunity to tap into this aspect in each and everyone of the participants.

By creating a sacred space together, on a regular basis, we will each have the opportunity to unfold into deeper truth.

From that place, when gazing back at the world, we might feel more able, more accepting, more forgiving and more joyful.

The format of the circles includes a meditation 
tailored each month for the needs of the group, 
followed by Reiki transmission and healing. 
Reiki healing is given for the second portion of the circle.

All are welcome, complete beginners and Reiki practitioners alike.

Slow Flow Vinyasa

This class will slow down the more vigorous pace of a traditional vinyasa class. Suitable for all levels, we warm up the body to slowly increase flexibility and strength, transitioning from asana to asana with ease and grace. Some restorative poses may be practiced as well.The breath is the focus of the practice. Emphasis is placed on synchronizing breath with movement, with the breath pacing the movement and setting its tempo.

Each student is encouraged to practice at their own level of strength, flexibility and endurance. Yogis can feel free to embrace modifications for poses, as well as explore advanced options as needed.

All levels are welcome. Intensity level is moderate to vigorous.
