Happy Hips
This is a Hatha based practice with emphasis on opening and strengthening the hips. The hips are at the pelvic hub of our skeletal system affecting the way we walk, sit, move and sleep. Creating harmony in the hips often leads to harmony in the entire body/mind. Happier hips make for happier days and nights. This class will emphasize a variety of movement and is suitable for most levels of experience and for those interested in opening and strengthening the hips.
Hatha
The emphasis will be on longer, static holds, there is less flow-based movement and more depth in each asana.

Yoga for Wellness
A viniyoga practice, the healing discipline that will address the entire person (body, breath, mind, behaviors, emotions and spirit).

Your entire body is activated internally and externally enhancing a relaxed mental attitude, building good health, mindfulness, brain fitness, neuromuscular and resistance training.
Yin Yang Yoga
A class that combines two styles of yoga into one practice - bringing together the benefits of passively holding yoga poses geared to stretch and strengthen your body, with more dynamic sequences and standing postures. We recommend having completed at least 1 semester of yoga basics before attending yin yang.
Yin Yoga
A meditative, slow, quiet, yet challenging practice that works to target the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. Postures are held for long periods
(3-7 minutes) which gives the body an opportunity to open and release deep tension and relaxing your muscles.
Yoga for a Healthier Back
Almost everyone experiences stiffness and diminishing mobility in their back that can lead to problems to their health if not addressed. In Yoga for a Healthier Back we work to release muscular tension and decompress the spine. After relaxing muscles that are overworked and tight, we restore mobility and strength through movement that focuses on increasing range of motion in the joints. Breathing exercises and a restorative pose at the end of the class will leave you ready for a good night sleep.
Yoga Integration
Join us for an invigorating fresh air practice integrating mindfulness techniques with yoga flow. Increase resilience, decrease burnout, deal with stress, build self compassion as you strengthen, stretch and balance. There is no bad weather there are just bad clothing choices.
