CLASSES

Warm Vinyasa Flow: 25-28*C

Vinyasa is the type of yoga where movement is connected with the breath which helps attain balance in the mind and body.  We start by opening up the body with some floor stretches, opening up the neck, chest and shoulders.  After we've allowed our bodies to warm up, we will move through a series of sun salutations, followed by balancing and core poses.

In the gentle Vinyasa classes, we pause a little longer in the poses and slow the movements down so you can establish a solid foundation of awareness, preparing you for the Power Vinyasa Flows.

This is a great class for beginners, but all levels are welcome, especially if you want to go back to the basics.

The first half of this class will focus on moving through slow purposeful movement of the body.  Taking a peaceful approach to each asana and  focusing on breath.

Then we will move into restorative postures. Using props we will hold these postures for 5 minutes or longer. Focusing on stillness and feeling the breath move through the body. These poses will help calm the nervous system and help the physical body relax. This class will help feel refreshed and renewed. 

Cozy Temp: 22-25*C

Yin Yoga Based with a little bit of a gentle flow

This class is designed to create some space and freedom in the hips.

We open up with connecting through the breath and body awareness.  Then we invite gentle movements into the hip joints to warm up and then proceed to some Yin poses where we hold specific stretches to target the hip area

This class will focus on the basics of Yin. How to correctly approach the poses for maximum safety.

This series is designed to slow us down. Allowing time to explore different aspects of yoga with a focus on YIN & meditation.

Each class will explore different aspects of yoga, through poses, meditation and breath work. Most classes are predominately Yin based (designed to stretch “yin” ligaments and fascial layers)

We will take our time getting “into” the pose and stay a little longer in each pose to explore how it feels.

ALL yoga levels are welcome.

Limited spots available to allow for individual attention.

75 minute warm class (27-29 *C) 

Yang Yin Yoga

Beautiful combination of strength (Yang) and stillness (Yin). Typically after warm-up the class transitions to  30- 40 minutes of flow and strength based movement, with the remainder being more restorative calming postures. Restorative postures often use props such as blocks and bolsters and are held for 2-10 min. Allowing the body to enter a deeper state of relaxation. 

This class is suitable for all levels.

**Warm 23-25*C**

Enjoy the benefits of a Yin practice as we lengthen and stress our connective tissues and ligaments followed by a restorative pose holding the pose for around 6-8 minutes.

Minimal cueing with a practice focused on breath, rest and relaxation to unwind from the day, and prepare for a restful sleep.

Quality of sleep is imperative in order for our bodies to properly function.  One of the many benefits of Yoga, is how it can help to improve your sleep.

**HOT FLOW: 30-35 *C**

Sweat it out with this dynamic Vinyasa flow!  Every movement is connected with the breath which helps attain balance in the mind and body.  We start by opening up the body with some floor stretches, opening up the neck, chest and shoulders.  After we've allowed our bodies to warm up, we will move through a series of sun salutations, followed by balancing and core poses.

This class is a bit more challenging as the poses and the pace are more dynamic, more like a power flow.  

All levels are welcome as Kristy will meet you where you're at!

Yin yoga is slowing down as we stretch and lengthen our ligaments, tendons and connective tissues as we hold our poses for 3-5 minutes.  The goal in this practice is to find our depth in the stretch without forcing as we “stress” the muscles.

Props are used to offer support as you navigate through this very therapeutic practice.

Yin Yoga is great because it:

-Calms and balances the mind and body.
