Students will learn how to quiet the body and mind with guided relaxation. Caution: students may reach a heightened level of inner stillness. Introduction to Yoga – This 8-week series systematically and incrementally develops all the basic information that a person needs to practice competently and confidently in any of our other classes. New students should definitely take this class as their primer. Once graduating from this series, they can then choose another regular “drop-in” class to attend based upon their yoga needs, time constraints and general level of physical fitness. Current studio clients are also welcome and encouraged to take this introductory series if they need a “refresher course” of yoga basics. If you often feel like you are “behind” or “not doing it right” in your regular class, please consider the Intro Series. Next Series Starts the Week of March 5th, 2012. Cost is $72. Go to the Rates page to register online. These classes tend to fill so register by February 27th to secure your spot. A minimum of four students required to run the class. Beginning Yoga – Welcome to the practice! Whether this is your first class or you want to renew your experience with yoga, this class is appropriate. Class will include detailed explanations of (asanas) poses as well as their modifications and variations. Students will learn how to link postures together into smooth flows or "vinyasas." Intermediate I & II – 60 minute classes: These classes are well suited for students who either have some yoga knowledge under their belt or who have a stable foundation of physical fitness. Students will focus on building internal heat and moving deeper into postures. Some classes may include Sun Salutations. Pranayama/breathing exercises will also be examined. Vinyasa - In this class, we'll play with our yoga in a seamless flow of breath and movement. This is a great way to kick off your week with a super boost of energy! The Heated Vinyasa classes are done at 90 degrees to preheat the muscles and encourage release of toxins. 90 minute classes: The longer time frame of this class allows for a deeper experience and analysis of the poses, more incorporation of breathing awareness and techniques, guided meditation, and an extended Savasana session. Each class will include breath awareness, asana (pose) instruction, yogic philosophy, and a luxurious, meditative, conclusion in the Savasana pose. Students are encouraged to enroll for an 8 week series but are welcome to drop in to the class as space permits. Pilates
Pilates builds up the core and abdominal “powerhouse” by using resistance techniques and
proper breathing methods. We will use the Pilates Magic Circle to sculpt hard to reach
muscle groups, increase stamina, and achieve overall toning for the whole body. The magic
circle is a powerful tool to make Pilates fun while obtaining optimal results. Done
primarily on the mat with some standing and side work, the exercises performed have great
postural benefits for better balance and grace. What to bring to Pilates classes:
Pilates magic circle and pilates mat.Class starts February 7th.

Classes usually start and end by chanting "OM". This is not for
religious purposes. Chanting helps center the body and mind before class. It is also a breathing exercise that
helps create strong lungs. "OM" is the ultimate sound, all sounds are in OM and OM is in all sounds. Enjoy the
way OM feels when you chant it. If chanting is not your thing then by all means don't chant! This is your yoga! |
