Description of Classes

Yoga Workout Classes (All Levels)

This is a good general exercise and preventative health routine. We will also practice breath control and meditation techniques. Our Instructors shape workouts to the needs of the students in attendance. This class is for normally healthy individuals at all levels. Students are encouraged to work out at their own pace, set their own limits; our instructors will offer modifications and adaptations to all poses to allow students with limited abilities to benefit from the healthful aspects of the poses or to challenge students with more training. Classes are conducted in a warm room.

Prenatal Yoga

Our Prenatal Yoga class is a gentle yoga class for women who are pregnant. We also welcome women who are not pregnant, but are looking for a gentle yoga class. This class will help you to counter some of the stress and strain of pregnancy and prepare you for your delivery. Come in and relax in a class designed specially for you.

Gentle Yoga and Meditation

Gentle Yoga and Meditation is for students who are looking for a gentler workout, a focus on meditation and/or are challenged by age or condition. Modifications of poses and helpful equipment, like chairs or props are provided and worked into the routines of the class. Instructors work with students to help build their abilities and confidence. Students learn useful skills to help cope with injuries and advancing age with special attention to Senior's particular needs.

Breathing and Laughing Yoga

This class is a gentle hatha yoga workout with an emphasis on our 'breathing' and the added element of yogic laughter. This class is open to all levels of experience and condition with few difficult or unusual poses in this class. Laughter is integrated into traditional yoga poses. Happy Baby becomes Laughing Baby. Breath of Joy becomes Laughing Thunder. Lion Pose becomes Laughing Lion. Laughing has been a part of yoga almost from it's very beginnings. It's been said that the best attitude in yoga is joy and gratitude. What represents those emotions better than laughing?

In this class we will explore the way our conscious minds can influence and to some extent control our emotions. Practicing laughter opens our hearts and minds. Take this class and get a natural lift.

Sunrise Yoga

This class takes place in front of a wall of windows facing East as the sun rises. Practicing yoga in this ancient way is a transcendental experience. Come practice Surya Namaskar with us. They say that if you practice six Sun Salutes every morning you will never grow old. This is your chance to find out if that is true. We practice the Sun Salute, Warrior Pose and a variety of traditional poses designed to send you off blissfully immune to the slings and arrows of the typical work day.
