Yoga is for Everybody & Looks Uniquely Different on Every Body!
​Ashtanga Vinyasa
​as the original form of power yoga, Ashtanga is a systematic sequence of preset postures linked together with Ujjayi breath. These classes are fully guided with warm-up sun salutations (Surya Namaskar A & B) followed by a preset series of both standing and seated postures. The standing and seated postures are each held for five (5) breaths, affording the yogi the opportunity to learn the postural alignment and develop greater body awareness. This is a great practice for new yoga practitioners to learn and master foundational postures as well as a complimentary practice to more advanced vinyasa yoga practitioners. Please note that while we teach according to the set primary sequence, there will be times that posture(s) and/or transitions will be removed depending upon their accessibility within class. We offer the full Ashtanga Primary Series (1.5 hour class) as well as a Modified Short Form (1 hour class). See schedule for details.
Core 360 
​Core-defining intensity! Your core is simply a nickname for the group of muscles that run through the center of your body and your abs are only a small piece of this complex. There are at least 14 muscles that comprise the core center. These muscles stabilize, align, and move the trunk of the body. A strong center allows for proper posture and movement patterns throughout the body. A well developed core will improve posture, and deliver better balance, and coordination! 

Flow: Start this class with 15 minutes of mat-based core exercises. These exercises will be mirrored in one long vinyasa flow, which will be repeated 3-4 times, depending on its length. Class will end with back bending and stretching to cool the body down.

Plyo: Start this class with 15 minutes of mat-based core exercises. These exercises will be mirrored in up-beat cardio and plyometric sequences. Class will end with counterposes and stretching to cool down the body! 
Hatha Yoga
is a non-flow yoga class. This modality is perfect for both beginners and experienced practitioners, who are seeking to understand the foundations, methodologies, and philosophies of yoga whilst enjoying their practice at a slower pace. Physical postures are held between 90-120 seconds acclimating the body to stress adaptation. Ha represents prana (vital force) and tha represents the mind; therefore hatha symbolizes the profound union between body and mind. New and seasoned students alike will benefit from the mindfulness of alignment and breath.
Vinyasa 
is a derivative of the Ashtanga Yoga lineage. Classes synchronize breath and movement through a series of asanas (poses). The postures range from one-breath-one-movement to longer holding (static) poses. The longer holding postures incorporate the same rhythmic breathing introduced when ‘flowing’. The combination of Ujjayi breath and movement creates immense internal heat. This practice creates vibrant physical and mental health, reduces stress, and promotes wellness. It teaches balance and stability and is training in equanimity, non-reactivity. Repetitive sequences will help students evaluate their range of motion, increase overall body awareness, re-wire neural pathways, and explore different states of consciousness. In the more advanced vinyasa classes, the instructor walks the class through the flow together at least three (3) times. Afterwards, the student moves at the pace and measure of their own breath and can incorporate their individualized creativity into the practice. See below for the distinctions between Vinyasa Levels 1, 2, & 3. We look forward to making you say, "F*** This is Hard"!

Yin 
is a slow-paced, restorative, non-flow yoga class composed of passive, longer holding postures. Yin postures require the muscles to relax in order to target the connective tissues. A yin practice enables a deep release of tendons, ligaments, and fascia - promoting healthy joints. Each posture is held between 5-7 minutes. Blocks, straps, cushions, and bolsters can be used to aid in the comfort of the practitioner. A yin practice can help identify holding patterns and asymmetry within the body. This practice is complementary to a regular Ashtanga, Hatha, or Vinyasa practice.
