Level 1
These classes introduce breathing techniques, emphasize proper alignment, and are designed to give you a firm foundation on which your practice can flourish. Perfect for students who have never practiced yoga before, who are returning to yoga after a break, or regular practitioners looking to brush up on their fundamentals.
Level 1-2
Level 1-2 classes will assume some working knowledge of the basic poses. Poses will begin to be linked together through the breath as you work towards Vinyasa flow. The foundation for more advanced poses and inversions will be taught here as well as building strength and stamina. There will be more of an emphasis on linking the poses in the sequence, and practicing holds, variations, and breathing techniques that challenge the student to go deeper. Students are expected to work at his or her own pace to get the most out of her practice and know the limits and needs of her body.

Yin Restorative
Yin is a perfect compliment to the more active styles of Yoga, because of its passive and slow-paced nature. The Yin poses involve sitting or laying down. They focus on the connective tissue, ligaments, bones, and joints in the pelvis, hips, and lower spine. These Yin postures allow one to access the deeper parts of the body and to regulate the energy flow in the body. Yin Yoga has been known to increase mobility, lower anxiety and stress levels, and to provide the body deep nourishment and relaxation that it truly deserves. The practice of Yin teaches stillness, surrender, and acceptance, which are valuable qualities to develop in today’s fast moving world.
