Chair Yoga (or Double Chair)

Can’t get down on the floor? Well, you don’t need to! Chair Yoga adapts yoga poses to your body through creative use of a chair.

practice yoga with more support and stability. Poses are done seated on the chair or the chair is used for support during standing poses and balancing. Chair Yoga is suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions and especially beneficial for people with physical limitations. This is a 1 hour class.  Double Chair classes will use two chairs for poses.

Restorative

The purpose of restorative yoga is to promote deep relaxation while holding the poses for longer periods of time, with the use of props, cushions, blankets and the wall. Restorative Yoga balances a fast lifestyle and has an enormous capacity to heal physical, emotional and mental issues that are stress related.  The parasympathetic nervous system is stimulated when we relax into poses, which promotes a relaxation response and reduces stress in our bodies. Restorative Yoga is derived from a yoga style that was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. He developed and adapted asanas using props and modifications so that a student could practice without pain or strain. Class is held in a
soothing atmosphere for an almost “spa-like” experience.

Rock and Roll Yoga

It will be loud. There may be offensive language. If this doesn’t sound fun to you, PLEASE DON’T COME! The flow of the class will depend on the flow of the music and will vary each week. High energy music, high energy class. Chill music, chill class. The music may include Classic Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Acoustic, Punk, Reggae or Alternative. (Suggestions welcome!) This is a great way to start your weekend off with some serious fun! Music connects us and is an essential way we express ourselves.

“Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything”. – Plato

Slow Vinyasa

Mindful, precise movement.  Movement with breathe.  This is what Slow Vinyasa is all about.  Movement without breath is just exercise, not yoga.  Find that connection between mind, body and spirit through your yoga practice.  Practice at a pace that allows for exploration of each pose, each breathe.  Slow down and take the time to find your Self again.

Wake Up & Stretch!

Start your day off right! This all levels class will focus on properly warming up all major muscles groups and increasing mobility in your joints. Wake Up & Stretch is perfect to prepare your body for your weekend activities. Going to the beach, golfing, tennis or another yoga class? Be ready to enjoy those activities to the fullest. Stretching gets your blood flowing, improves circulation and relieves muscular tension. This
moderately paced class moves methodically through each part of the body relieving muscular tension while releasing mental, emotional and psychological stress.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is practiced at a slower pace.  It gives the student a chance to unwind, to decompress to re-center.  The class typically is a series of long held, passive floor poses incorporating pranayama and meditation techniques. Yin Yoga is a quiet and simple practice, but not necessarily an easy one. There are longer periods of quiet and time to contemplate as you practice.  It nourishes your mind, body and spirit.   Yin Yoga works deeply into your connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones and fascia. It improves energy flow and enhances the flow of chi into the organs. Connective tissue responds best to a slow, steady load. If you gently stretch connective tissue by holding a yin pose for a long time, the body will respond by making them a little longer and stronger— which is exactly what you want.
