Rhythmic Vinyasa

RV is a vinyasa-based class connecting breath to movement through a sequence of asanas (postures). Each class is uniquely curated through a playlist by the instructor.

Vinyasa Yoga

Vinyasa is a type of Hatha yoga. This practice connects breath to movement with a focus on developing our bodies, mind, and spirit through a series of asanas (postures) strung together in a sequential order. From the Sanskrit “to place in a special way,” vinyasa aligns poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. Inhalation is usually connected to upward, open movements, while exhalation is often tied to downward movements or twists. These classes can offer you a safe place for challenge, growth, and development.

Pranayama & Meditation

Pranayama refers to yogic breathing practices and it deals with regulating your breathing. This includes control of the timing, duration, and frequency of every breath and hold. The goal of pranayama is to connect your body and mind. It also supplies your body with oxygen while removing toxins. This is meant to provide healing physiological benefits. 

Meditation is a mental practice and refers to the higher state of your consciousness and deals with your mind. Through specialized techniques– such as mindfulness, or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity – meditation trains attention and awareness to help achieve a clear, calm, and stable state.

The Dharma yoga wheel is an effective tool invented by Sri Dharma Mittra in 1975. This class builds on the traditional asanas found in a Dharma yoga class and incorporates the wheel to help strengthen, stretch, support, and balance the body. Our Dharma Wheel Certified instructors provide a variety of classes for both a fun workout as well as for serious therapeutic effects.

Restorative Yoga

Restorative yoga enables deep relaxation with the aid of props to support you in longer-held poses. Props, like blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps are used so that you can find comfort in your poses. The focus of this practice is to minimize strain and pain to achieve physical, mental and emotional restoration. Our parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated when we relax into poses, which promotes a relaxation response and reduces stress in our bodies. The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for slowing your heart rate and breath and increasing blood flow to your vital organs, among other things. These classes are slow paced, and provide a great balance to an active schedule. 

Yin Yoga

​

Yin Yoga is a slower practice where poses are passively held for longer, working on the deep, yin (dense) connective tissues and joints in the body. These classes also target bones, the deep fascia networks of the body and the meridians. Yin yoga classes mainly work the lower part of the body such as the hips, pelvis, inner thighs, lower spine. These classes provide a welcoming space in which to relax, breath, and meditate in the cooling asanas.

Sound Healing & Reiki

Sound healing is the use of specific instruments, music, tones, and other sonic vibrations to balance and heal the body, mind, and spirit. This practice includes both ancient and modern instruments along with the vocal cords of our instructors. It also includes using specialized sound frequencies to create a therapeutic atmosphere to promote deep rest, nervous system rebalancing, and emotional release. Ideally, a hypnotic, meditative or theta brainwave state is created which allows access to deeper levels of inner wisdom and healing. The soothing vibrations will help you relax, release stress, anxiety and tension.
