Using the breath as a guide, this class is one of flowing movement. We begin on the floor with gentle stretching then move into dynamic standing poses and balance work.  We return to the floor for hip stretches, core work, gentle backbends and finally ending in relaxation or “Savasana.”

A yoga class described as ‘Hatha’ will typically involved a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practiced more slowly with more static holds.

Hatha and Vinyasa yoga share many of the same poses. In their own ways, they each emphasize controlled, conscious breathing to help you relax and improve your fitness. The biggest difference between them is the pace at which you change from one pose to the next.

A yoga class designed for children is very different from an adult class.

Yoga is a practice that connects the body, breath, and mind. It uses physical postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to improve overall health. Yoga was developed as a spiritual practice thousands of years ago. Yoga helps bring balance into your life, reduce stress, helps to increase flexibility, strength, and clarity.

In this class we practice deep relaxation that emphasizes the meditative aspect of yoga – the union of body and mind. Through the use of props for support, many of the postures are held almost effortlessly. When your body enters a state of relaxation, your mind can also consciously relax so your tension melts away.
