Restorative

Options include a Yin styles class, including long holding deep stretches (3-5 minutes each) using breath to soften deeper into each, or a Gentle style class where the pace is slow, movements are careful, and limited exertion is to be expected.  Either class is meant to rejuvinate and calm the flucuations of the mind. Yin can be edgy, challenging yourself to find stillness in deep stretches, where Gentle is easy going. I am certified in Yin Yoga.

Yoga Strength

Class is similar to that of a slow flow, but incorporates weights and repeititons, meshing strength training and yoga, but sight is not lost on the yoga portion. Philosophy and dharma talks are critical in my strength classes. We work our physical strength, but not without mental resilience. Classes finish with longer yin-like poses that align with the anatomical focus of class. 

Blend & Vinyasa

Both Blend and Vinyasa come with higher energy, fun transitions, and more difficult asanas designed to build endurance of strength, while training the mind for day to day life. Expect most flows to be one breath one movement in a Vinyasa, where Blend builds a quicker pace over the course of class, starting out more like a slow flow. Expect a sweaty moving meditiation. Classes finish with longer yin-like poses, with longer time to recovery at the end of a Blend versus a Vinyasa. 

Slow Flow

Expect a slower build up, simpler transitions, fewer poses, and long holding yin poses near class end. While the pace is slower, poses are held longer, allowing for deeper release and a chance to explore each pose more than in a Vinyasa like class. Classes are specially designed all levels to allow each student the chance to take the pose they need on any given day, whether that's a modification or intensification.
