CLASS DEFINITIONS
YOGA: These classes focus on grace, precise alignment and mindful awareness. The subtleties of engaging our bodies within each pose are carefully demonstrated. Suitable for people with movement restrictions or past injuries. Taught in the tradition of BKS Iyengar.
YOGA & MEDITATION: This class concludes with 10 minutes of meditation.
YIN YOGA: A slow paced, more meditative style of yoga (like restorative with action) where the poses are held for a longer period of time to target the connective tissues rather than the muscles. Deeply relaxing.
VINYASA: is generally known as Flow Yoga. Here, the emphasis is on linked poses, the breath and fluid movement. These classes are fun and slightly aerobic. For all levels.
RESTORATIVE: Using props such as bolsters, blocks and chairs the yoga poses are supported for optimal release of tension. Often therapeutic, breathing and letting go are the focus.
THERAPEUTIC: Using props such as bolsters, blocks and chairs the yoga poses address areas of restriction or injury in the body. Learning more about how we daily hold ourselves in unhealthy postures and overuse areas of the body can prevent re-injury and enhance healing.
PILATES: The small movements of Pilates improve balance and core strength. It does this in part by reinforcing the bond between the mind and the body's muscles in the core. This leads to better posture and may ease chronic low back pain.
