CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Hatha Fusion inspires us through a blend of yoga styles that complement, support and encourage us to expand and express the inherent beauty within through alignment, breath-work and a dedication to the practice.
Anusara Yoga is heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, and yet grounded in the Universal Principles of Alignment for both the inner and outer body. It is a uniquely integrated style of hatha yoga in which the artistic glory of the human heart blends magically with the scientific principles of bio-mechanics.
- John Friend
Yoga Flow moves through poses and sequences that unfold in an inherent harmony and body intelligence. The arrangement of movement is linked to the breath creating a coordinated and complementary mind/body experience that awakens the prana (life force) within. It is intended for students who are already familiar with most of the asanas and principles of alignment, and who wish to build stamina and endurance with their yoga practice
Yoga for Lunch is a 50-minute, mixed level weekday class, giving you a boost in the middle of your day. The class focuses on energizing poses balanced with the perfect amount of relaxation to send you back to work or home feeling rejuvenated and refreshed.Core Focus is a class combining yoga and Pilates. Joseph Pilates, who later brought it to the U.S and opened his first studio in 1926, developed the Pilates method in the early 1900's. Like yoga, Pilates mat-work is a total body conditioning method. It incorporates dynamic, continuous movement patterns with a breathing method focusing on stabilizing and strengthening the body's center, or "core", along with upper and lower body strengthening, balance, and flexibility. Combining both the different and similar aspects of yoga and Pilates make this a fun and challenging class!
Chair Yoga is a unique yoga style that adapts yoga positions and poses through creative use of a yoga chair. The chair replaces the yoga mat and becomes an extension of the body. The student is able to warm up the body safely and perform yoga poses with more support and stability. Poses are done seated on the chair or the chair is used for support during standing poses, forward and backward bends, side extensions, balancing, and leg and arm stretches. Chair Yoga is suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions.
Gentle Yoga is an easy approach to a yoga practice that is slow and steady, and incorporates yoga props to support the body to help elongate the spine, open the hips, and customize the poses to suit each student's individual needs. The class is fitting for students who are new to yoga, students who have physical limitations or are recovering from injury, and students who want to have a less rigorous and more relaxing practice.Family Yoga invites parents and children ages 8 and up to practice yoga together. The class consists of asanas (poses) and lots of smiles. Parents and children will practice side by side; they will do some partner poses and maybe even play some yoga "games."
Little Rascals (4-7) & Yoga 4 Kids (8-12) follows a holistic approach using "Yoga Calm for Children", which engages heart, mind and body through its unique blend of physical yoga, social skills games and counseling techniques. It helps kids develop emotional intelligence, communication skills, trust and empathy while nurturing teamwork and leadership skills.
Tai Chi is a moving meditation for your health. Modern tai chi is approximately 1500 years old with its root starting over 4000 years ago.It is a system of physical exercises based on the principals of effortless breathing, rhythmic movement and weight equilibrium. The slow and fluid movements of tai chi require concentration, control, co-ordination and balance. This combination of mental and physical activity works to harmonize the mind, body and spirit and promotes feelings of well being.
Additional benefits of tai chi are stress reduction, lowered blood pressure, flexibility, improved circulation and healing, balance and peace. It is perfect for those who need a low stress exercise.

Meditation Class Yoga has its origins in a deep human inclination for personal transformation. Key to that transformation is our capacity to change negative patterns and behaviors; central to that change is our own natural ability to focus. Meditation is easier and less mysterious than is often thought. It does not require belief in any particular worldview and encourages you to lighten up around what you believe to be true, especially your own imagined limitations. This meditation class is open to all, and beginners are welcome. It will involve practical instruction, meditation, as well as teachings to support you in your ongoing practice of yoga and life.
Prenatal Yoga is a personalized class for pregnant women who are looking to prepare the body for childbirth. Here the emphasis is on opening the body through basic asanas that gently stretch and relax the body. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
Asana & Pranayama weaves pranayama (breathing exercises) into the asana practice. The asanas will focus on grounding and opening the pelvic floor in order to expand the experience of the breath. Class concludes with a seated meditation.
Intro. Course Transition is a basic class continuing the work introduced in the Introduction to Yoga Course. This class is open to anyone even if you have not completed the intro course.
Restorative yoga uses props to create an environment for our mind and body to relax deeply. A regular restorative practice relieves stress and fatigue, soothes and stimulates the organs, regulates blood sugar levels, calms the mind and brings balance and health into the body. When we relax our nervous system deeply our body can then heal itself, which is the greatest medicine. Most of us live in a chronic state of stress, compromising our body's capacity to heal itself, inhibiting recovery from an existing illness, such as high blood pressure, back pain, digestive issues, immune dysfunction, reproductive problems and depression. The antidote to stress is relaxation.

Yoga Trance Dance is an exploration of the eternal flow of natural movement through yoga. Beginning with sahaja prana yoga or the experience of prana initiating yoga asanas, Yoga Trance Dance flows into an exploration of free-form, breath driven movement to liberate ones creative life-force and cultivate embodied freedom.Chanting uses global chants, rhythms, and songs rooted in yogic philosophy to open to a greater universal rhythm and vibration.
Introduction To Yoga Course is a six-week course designed for beginners. If you think you are too inflexible, too old, too out of shape, too anything, this is perfect for you. This will be a playful six-weeks of yoga for all types of people. In this course you will learn the basics of Anusara yoga alignment covering basic standing poses, forward bends, back bends, twists, and maybe an inversion or two! The classes will be comprehensive so when you register you will register for the entire six weeks. At the end of the course you will feel comfortable going to any Level I - II class at the Center -- maybe even a level II. Every other month a new course begins, please call for dates.
