Pure Yin - 20 is Plenty (Livestream and In-person at the studio)
Yin Yoga is a slower paced style of yoga with a maximum of 20 poses (asanas) that are held for longer periods of time. Yin yoga poses apply moderate stress to connective tissues – tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Yin is a more meditative approach to Yoga. All levels welcome.
Yin Yang - Mix & Match (Livestream and In-person at the studio)
The best of both worlds. Meditation and longer held positions (Yin Yoga) for the first part of the class. It's all about softening and surrendering. Second part of the class we'll move through an all level power yoga practice. You'll love it!
Vinyasa - Go with the Flow (Livestream and In-person at the studio)
Vinyasa, or "synchronized movement" is a flowing yoga class because of the smooth way that the poses run together. Vinyasa or Power Yoga are considered one of the most popular contemporary Western styles of yoga. The class has a similar structure like an Ashtanga Yoga but with less emphasis on strict format and the traditional spiritual aspect.
