Japa Yoga — Japa in Sanskrit means repetition in this case, of poses. Like the game of telephone from childhood. In each class we start with a few poses then keep adding new ones. Each new pose is held to get the alignment and the feeling of the posture, then moving one breath one movement through the old ones. As the sequence gets longer your breath and movement become a dance of meditation. Some classes will be more body specific i.e. hips, shoulders, lower back or all over strength, balance, always different and fun

Spa Yoga™ — A free-style Vinyasa class with all the extras- aromatherapy, yoga massage and long relaxation.

Ashtanga Yoga — Aahtanga (Primary Series) involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures. This process produces intense internal heat and a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body and a calm mind.

Notes for classes: A few things you should keep in mind to make the most of your practice and time at the studio:

  • Bare feet only on the wood floor –take your shoes off when you come in />
  • Yoga is a time for you, to turn off the outside world. We ask that you turn your cell phone off.
  • Arrive a few minutes early to get settled in. if you arrive late and the door is locked the instructor will let you in at the earliest possible time. Find your place quietly. Take care of any paper work or payments after class.
  • Wear clothes that are comfortable to move in. Avoid pant that button or zip and t-shirts that are too loose.
  • Yoga is done best on a just right stomach not hungry to distract you or full so you don’t want or can’t move.
  • Some classes use essential oils and or incense let the instructor know if you have any sensitivity to them
  • Instructors may use physical adjustments in addition to verbal – if you are not comfortable with a physical adjustment let the instructor know. Never let an adjustment take you farther than feels good. Listen to your body.
