Question Title

* 3. Out of the five styles of yoga we offer, which are most appealing to you? (Check all that apply)

Sunrise Vinyasa: Sunrise Vinyasa focuses on connecting one posture to the next using the natural cycle of breath. It is a smooth practice that feels most natural. Class is designed to strengthen connection between the mind and body without judgement or expectation. Modifications are offered for all levels to welcome everyone to flow in all shape. Daily Vinyasa practice helps you improve posture, flexibility and endurance. Beyond the physical benefits, yoga helps to bring a sense of clarity to challenging situations in life, reminds us to stay present and focused in an ever-changing environment, and can help us find contentment in our surroundings.

Yin Restorative: Yin is a slow-paced style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time. The sequences of postures are meant to stimulate and help in stretching connective tissue around the joints like the knees, pelvis, sacrum, and spine. The long hold times of this practice offer the chance to sit with our emotions and can help us become more resilient to stress. It is a more meditative approach to yoga, and its goals are awareness of inner silence, and bringing to light a universal, interconnecting quality. In this class, we will incorporate various yoga props, such as blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets to deepen our postures.

Introduction to Yoga (Gentle Yoga): This class focuses on developing clear and safe alignment in foundational poses. The basic postures that form all styles of yoga practice, including the Vinyasa, Hatha, Iyengar, Kundalini, and Ashtanga, will be demonstrated and guided with modifications. Meditation and breath exercises will be offered in each session to quiet the mind and awaken our senses. Gentle Vinyasa yoga is a great way to transition from the weekend into the work-week.

Yoga for Recovery: This class is a combination of supportive hands-on adjustment and gentle yoga practice. All yoga levels are welcome and modifications will always be given to suit your personal journey. Yoga props including blocks, straps, bolsters, and blankets will be offered for use as well as instructor’s hands-on adjustments to assist your postures. Join us in creating safe and supportive community where you can explore any shapes of the practice that you need.

Dynamic Flow: Dynamic Flow offers practice that builds your endurance and strength. This energetic flow will make you move through a creative sequence exploring advanced versions of the yoga postures. You will enjoy moving in rhythmic music, breaking sweat and challenging yourself to advance your practice. This class is for students that have basic understanding of yoga asanas. For your safety, please take the introduction to yoga class before trying Dynamic Flow.
