Description of classes
Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga (75 min)
This intense and traditional yoga class takes a modified approach to Full Primary Series as originally designed by Pattabhi Jois who taught in Mysore, India. It is an invigorating and athletic class in which we move through 43 yoga postures. The class has a strict format and starts of with a seated meditation to establish the breath. Soon after we kick of with Sun Salutations, standing, seated and finishing postures. This class has a very dynamic flow. Its a great way to train the mind, body and spirit.
(Hot) Deep Stretch (75 min)
This is an excellent class to de-stress with longer held yoga postures (calming, quieting poses), designed to help you unwind from your working day/week. It will feel like you just had a 75 min deep tissue massage because this class targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, tendons and joints and stimulate organ health. The postures will be held for 2 – 5 minutes. A common mistake is that this may seem boring, passive, or soft, but that's not true. Experience it yourself!
Hot Hatha (Bikram Yoga - 75 min)
Our signature Hot Hatha class takes an inspired approach to the classical sequence as designed by Bikram Choudhury (26 postures including 2 breathing exercises). The postures are designed to increase mobility in the spine, hips, quadriceps and hamstrings. It's 100% workout and workin. Suited for all levels. The class room is heated up to 36-38 degrees Celsius (95-99 degrees Fahrenheit) for a detoxifying sweat.
Vinyasa Flow (75 min)
Vinyasa being a principle which means synchronized movement. Its based on the idea that the breath is the guide to the practice. At the studio Vinyasa Flow is taught as designed by master trainer Fred Busch. His classes are multi-dimensional and offer a lot of benefits on many levels.
Pure Yin (75 min)
This restorative class is for everyone. Its healing power resides in deeper held positions. The connective tissues around the joints are targeted. This is where we tend to keep the most tension. If you're looking for a meditative yoga class, this is the one!
Yin-Yasa (75 min)
Perfect mix, 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 move through an all level power yoga practice. We top it off with a delicious Savasana. You'll love it!
Our regular classes (R) are 75 minutes. All levels are welcome.
