CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

This class is designed for anyone with mobility concerns (disabilities, post-operative limitations, etc.) Gentle joint releasing and gentle stretching; may be from a chair, or with assistance of the wall. We will use props as needed. This class will deepen your breath, increase your energy and stamina as you stretch and move your body slowly. Class begins with a centering, using our breath to clear our minds of chatter. Then we begin to open up all the joints by moving with our breath in a mindful manner. Many of the traditional asanas in Vinyasa Yoga can be adapted to be done in a seated position. We will also do some movements while standing and holding onto the back of the chair for balance. In every class we stretch and strengthen all the muscles and also practice balance. You will leave feeling stronger and less tight, yet calm and focused. We close out the class with a seated Savasana to rest and honor our selves.

(Available from June to September)
Beach yoga is available the first weekend in June through September 14th. Beach yoga is offered as a mixed levels style class on Saturday mornings from 7 am - 8 am at Jacky Durrell deck at Penfield Beach. (The new student two-week unlimited package cannot be used to pay for these classes).

Core Flow is a class that blends core strengthening poses, movement, and breathwork. It is an opportunity to build core strength in a Vinyasa style setting.

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. 

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.

Kundalini is an ancient yoga system of exercise and meditation that promotes health, happiness, and spiritual awareness. In Kundalini classes, students are guided through kriyas -postures (asana), dynamic movement, sound current (mantra), breath (pranayama), and meditation. Kriyas can be vigorous, they can be calming, and everywhere in between. This class is open to all. Beginners welcome. Dress in comfortable clothing.

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.
