Ashtanga Primary Series is appropriate for all levels. Rooted in the traditional Primary Series of Sri K. Pattahbi Jois, this style of yoga is a beautifully athletic, flowing “meditation in motion” that inspires the self-discipline of a personal home practice. Using synchronized breath & movement, the set sequence quiets the mind & opens the heart as it cleanses & purifies the body’s energy systems. This well-rounded practice includes two variations of sun salutes, and a sequence of standing, seated, & finishing poses.

Ashtanga yoga primary series is a specific series of poses, ordered the same every time, designed to align, strengthen, detoxify and rebalance musculature system and internal organs.  Ujjayi breath, alignment, bandhas – all are learned and eventually become second nature in the practice.  Each week we will focus on an aspect of the practice to spend a little extra time on and become more familiar with it.  Alignment is important when practicing in order to get the benefits without stress injuries to joints and muscles.

The primary series is distinguished by it’s set sequence that takes 90 minutes to perform, ujjayi breathing, utilizing bandhas and drishti (inner & outer focus). Though the practice is not suitable for beginners to yoga, the practice is meant to gradually build strength, good physical alignment, endurance and flexibility, practiced regular, this series will give the yoga practitioner great focus, lightness and a sense of greater strength and poise.

Join us to build strength, balance and confidence. We welcome all ages and levels of flexibility and strength. Come nurture your whole body, mind and spirit in a relaxed environment.

Restorative yoga is the absence of stretch.  If you feel any sensation at all, realign, modify and add more props until you feel total ease.  It’s not about stretching and feeling, it’s about allowing.  It’s not about doing, it’s about not doing and being in the poses long enough to enter the parasympathetic-dominant state.  (Relaxation).

Set the tone for your day with an early morning vin to yin practice. Wake up your muscles and your circulation with heat-building vinyasa, then nourish your connective tissue and increase flexibility in your joints with cooling yin.

In these challenging and athletic Vinyasa Yoga classes, poses are linked together and synced with the breath. We flow through the asanas connecting each sequence with a vinyasa. This keeps the body warm and engaged throughout the practice. This is beautiful, dynamic style of Yoga that maintains a playful and flow-like quality. There is no set sequence and each teacher brings his/her own style. Many of the classes incorporate music to support the energy of the flow. Most classes are all levels or levels are indicated on the schedule.

Yin Yoga is a more meditative approach with a physical focus much deeper than Yang like practices. Here the practitioner is trying to access the deeper tissues such as the connective tissue and fascia and many of the postures focus on areas that encompass a joint (hips, sacrum, spine). As one ages flexibility in the joints decreases and Yin yoga is a wonderful way to maintain that flexibility, something that for many don’t seem to be too concerned about until they notice it is gone.

By practicing specific yoga postures, this mellow mind/body core strength class offers targeted toning to strengthen your physical yoga practice (asana), included are targeted strengthening exercises for arms, legs, back and abdominals.  Appropriate for 50+ age but every one regardless of age is welcome.  Great for rebuilding strength after a period of illness or lack of exercise.

All attending will be led quietly through a meditative flowing yoga practice that brings greater ease to the body and mind.  We also do some focus work, sometimes more instruction is helpful to learn how to modify a practice to benefit old injuries or learn how breathing can lessen stress.  Posture, balance, supporting yourself, all are addressed and everyone is welcomed.  Both mind and body become more quiet and we end with relaxation for 10-15 minutes restorative posture and sivasana.  Greatly relieves stress, by guiding you within to your own quiet inner self.  Suitable for all levels, to bring ease to mind and body.
