Candlelight Flow
Enjoy your yoga practice this evening by candlelight creating a warm, cozy, and heavenly atmosphere to soothe the spirit and relax the mind. In this mixed levels class we combine relaxing restorative poses with flowing sequences and breath directed movement. Variations and modifications are offered along the way. All levels welcome!
Core Flow
Core Flow is a fun, high-energy class of asana and strength building with the focus on core muscular energy, emotional energy, and stamina. Having a strong core creates the direct benefit of vital muscular energy, but it also builds your emotional strength, and helps to balance out tension in the areas of the hips and lower back. With a strong core you will have a much safer and more energized practice on the mat, as well as build energy to face the daily practice of life off the mat. The class is open to all levels of students.
Flow for Runners
This class is designed for runners, but is appropriate for students of all levels who want to develop flexibility and strength. Repetitive sports like running can exacerbate imbalances in the body and shorten muscles. Yoga offers a way to identify weak or tight areas and balance them with breath awareness to focus the mind. The class focuses on developing strength, balance, and flexibility. Core, hips, hamstrings, calves, and feet will get special attention. Yoga complements any sport, helping to prevent or recover from injuries. Come expecting a yoga class that incorporates asanas (poses) and repetitive motions to build strength and flexibility in a safe, light atmosphere. Open to all. No previous yoga experience required.
Therapeutic Flow
This all-levels class invites you to move with increasing awareness, explore sensations with a sense of open curiosity, and deepen your relationship with your breath. You are encouraged to move at your own pace, and modify as you need. This class is ideal for anyone dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, injury, recovering from illness, and coping with chronic conditions.
All are welcome. All props provided.

Prostration Flow
The practice of prostrations is beautiful way of supporting the process of surrender, of humbly letting go of ego attachments and purifying body, mind and speech. Each posture flows seamlessly into the next, building strength, flexibility, mobility and functional core.
In this Flow style class we will blend the ancient practice of prostrations with familiar postures, dynamic movements, mindful stretching, and breath directed flowing sequences. This class is wonderful for athletes of all kinds. Please bring socks and a sweat towel. All levels welcome.

Prostrations
Prostrations are an ancient form of yoga that integrates body, breath and intention. They are a foundational practice of Tantra that can dissolve tension, negative emotions and limiting self-concepts. The practice is performed in a state of presence, combining aspects of Suryanamaskar (sun salutes) into one continuous fluid motion. Each class will start with an explanation of the practice- the visualization and how it is performed, including less strenuous options. Traditionally the full practice consists of 108 prostrations with an integration period (meditation, shavasana) to follow. Prostrations are a wonderful purification practice that works off negative karma and benefits the body (intense core work!), mind and spirit. Please bring socks and a sweat towel. All levels welcome.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is an excellent practice for restoring the body after intense exercise, over-working, injury, illness or simply to slow down and undo the effects of stress. Gentle sequences allows the body to open at its own pace; supported by props such as bolsters, blankets, pillows, blocks and straps, in order develop a complete sense of being held without effort or force. The body-mind moves toward a natural state of balance and ease. This class is ideal for anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and a tendency to over-do. Students leave the class feeling deeply rejuvenated and refreshed. Open to all students at any level.
