CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

(Available from June to end of August)
Beach yoga and Beach Meditation with Sound Bath are available the last weekend in June through August 31st. Beach Yoga is offered as a mixed levels style class on Saturday mornings from 7 am - 8 am and on Sunday mornings at the same time for meditation and sound bath. Both classes are offered on the Jacky Durrell deck at Penfield Beach. (The new student two-week unlimited package cannot be used to pay for these classes).

This flow class has a strong focus on core strengthening. Practice combines dynamic, playful flow sequences with longer asana holds to create heat from inside out. This class will allow yogis to build strength required for the progression of more advanced Vinyasa practice. Previous experience with Flow practice is highly recommended. 

Drop into a deep state of rest with a flow into Nidra. This class will build slightly with a gentle vinyasa sequence, then cool it down with a calming yoga nidra meditation. Yoga Nidra is an ancient practice that will drift you into the space between awake and asleep. As you still the waves of your mind, you’ll sink into restorative brainwave activity to find full-body healing, reflection, and relaxation. All levels are welcome. - Enjoy a 30-minute gentle flow with a 30-minute Nidra during the second half of the class. - Find deep, restful sleep and relaxation - Balance your nervous system - Improve your health and well-being.

Experience a slower pace of nourishing stretches and asana (postures) that offer the opportunity to explore the creation and dissolving of postures in gradual steps. In these classes, plenty of instruction is offered as well as modifications. Gentle doesn’t mean “no challenge;” with a gentleness of self, you choose the level of challenge that serves you in each moment. Gentle yoga classes are accessible to all levels, including beginners.

A Level 1 Yoga class will likely include a “slower” rhythm focused on the basic asanas found in a typical yoga flow. Your instructor will likely call out the English and Sanskrit names for the poses (as opposed to only Sanskrit) to make the class more accessible. If you’re a more advanced practitioner, you can still benefit from Level 1 classes because they focus on foundational work that sometimes falls by the wayside after many years of practice. Many Level 1 Yoga classes will introduce postures that are precursors to intermediate postures so you can start building muscle memory and body awareness to move into different shapes.

Awaken your day with the practice of meditation; allowing awareness to your breath, becoming a focus of expansion, clarity, space, and attention (where energy flows).

Conscious breathing brings the transformation to the Sacred Breath, with a four-step process Activation though Mantas and Visualization to clear your physical, emotional and mental bodies; dismantle worries, fears and toxins, changing the vibration of your thoughts creating the intention to find inner peace and balance. Discover how going inwardly is the key to alignment and spark the creativity of your daily life.

Yoga Nidra is a sleep-based meditation designed to remove mental and emotional disturbance and rejuvenate the body; however, during this meditation, you remain fully awake and aware. Yoga Nidra is sometimes referred to as a "super-charged" meditation because it includes multiple meditation techniques in a single session. During Yoga Nidra, you progressively enter deeper brainwave states, where you are able to sink beneath the active mind. In this calm place, deep restoration and rejuvenation occur.
