Hatha: Balance, Strengthen & Stretch

Deeply rooted in Hatha fundamentals, this class builds strength & stability through intentional holds. Expect stillness between poses, gentle transitions, & a slow,  methodical pace that keeps you connected to your breath while feeling challenged.

You’ll practice precise, purposeful movement through balancing poses, & refine alignment while building endurance in Warrior poses.  There is stretching, some Somatic movement & a Yin pose or two to soften the quiet intensity of Hatha.

Arms are not in weight‑bearing positions, though they stay gently engaged throughout. This thorough, mechanics‑focused sequence is ideal for those new to yoga, with options to challenge experienced practitioners.

This is a great class for training the mind to retain peace despite external circumstances.  All while maintaining the steady effort of a body in motion.

This Vinyasa-inspired class is a slow flow, with breath-synchronized movement  between poses. The transitions between poses, emphasizing safety and fluidity, are as significant as the poses themselves.

 

Each movement is paired with intentional breathing, to support the nervous system & physical action.  Some poses are held briefly & others you'll settle into, at a slow pace to allow attention to detail.

 

You'll work on balance, strength, flexibility & rhythmic endurance, while practicing  mind–body harmony. Somatic movement and Yin poses are woven in to soften the pace.

 

This type of flow requires the arms to bear the upper body's weight in certain floor poses.  Also the kneecaps will be in frequent contact with the mat. Taking breaks is just fine & encouraged whenever necessary.

 

This active, engaging class  is designed to be a thorough, invigorating  refresher.

Grounding Slow Flow

Chair yoga adapts traditional yoga principles to meet the needs of those with mobility challenges.  It allows you to experience the benefits of yoga while remaining comfortably seated,  practicing for a shorter duration (35 minutes total). 

 

If you have difficulty getting on the floor and back up, this is your class.  Or, maybe you're 'yoga curious,' but don't wish to commit to a longer class. Or, maybe you  want to bestow a sense of physical & mental vitality, but are short on time.  Perhaps you're nursing an injury.  So many reasons to consider Chair Yoga!

 

This soothing sequence will begin with 'Qi Gong'-inspired breathing exercises. then you will ease into yoga pose variations designed to enhance  upper & lower body circulation.  Expect to work on gentle strengthening, as well as movement to  promote flexibility & endurance. As with all yoga classes,  its' fine to skip any pose not feeling right for your body.
