Inversion Playtime
This 30-minute session is a part of the Warm Yoga class before it! In order to participate you need to attend the Warm Yoga class before, so that your mind and body are ready for the inversion poses.
In this class we will work on drills to strength our inversion practice and spend lots of time upside-down! We will also be using props to help our body and mind overcome challenges that arise. Each 30 minute session will include multiple inversions including headstand, headstand, forearm stand, shoulder stand & more! You do not need to have these as part of your practice to join in on class, we will help you learn safe and accessible ways to try these poses!

Yin Yoga
Yin is a passive, transformative style of yoga that asked participants to hold postures for an extended period of time. The longer hold of poses is done primarily on the mat in seated or lying down postures. Yin yoga helps strengthen, lengthen and provide therapeutic release to joints, muscles, ligaments, facia, and other connective tissues.
The main purpose of Yin yoga is to provide grounding, as you learn to tune out the daily grind and focus on slowing down, breathing and listening to your body, you will learn to totally surrender, your mind and body to your practice!

Beginners Alignment Based Yoga
Alignment Based Yoga focuses more on attention to detail than attention to movement. We intentionally set up each pose from the base and focus on aligning the bones. When the bones are aligned the wear and tear of gravity on our joints is much less. Alignment Based Yoga is all about forming new habits in our body and creating more intelligent movement in the muscle tissues and skin. This class is appropriate for all experience levels!
This class includes centering and savasana!

Students will be introduced to yoga postures through step-by-step verbal description and demonstration. Emphasis is placed on student understanding, safety, and stability within each pose. Many options and variations of yoga postures will be available to suit you, your body and where you are in your yoga practice.
Yoga can help you gain stamina, improve body posture, and increase flexibility. Beginners' yoga also helps you de-stress your mind and relax the body so you feel rejuvenated again.

Core Barre
Core Barre is a system of movement designed to create strength, flexibility, and a balanced body. It is based on elements of classical Pilates, Ballet & Athletic Conditioning. It consists of high-energy but low-impact and effective exercises that strengthen all muscles and re-program the body to move in the way it was originally designed to. These movements change our bodies in such a way that does not cause injury or further promote imbalances.
The 55-minute class not only burns fat but also produces an effective and safe way to beautifully lengthen & strengthen the entire body.
CORE BARRE is suitable for all fitness levels, regardless of age or ability.

Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga is a
particularly effective practice for those recovering from, or living with, injury or illness. Therapeutic Yoga combines restorative yoga (supported postures), gentle yoga, breathwork, and guided meditation techniques in such a way that it is an excellent choice for those who need something gentle yet effective for bringing the body into balance and reducing stress. Therapeutic Yoga is a deeply meditative experience – it provides the opportunity to step away from the busy-ness of the outside world and access the deeper wisdom that resides within us.
Accessible to all bodies and everybody, all you need is an open mind! All poses are gentle and passive, using props to create a sense of comfort, openness, and release in the body.
