Core Flow
Core Flow is a fun, high-energy class of asana and strength building with the focus on building core muscular energy, emotional energy, and stamina. Having a stronger 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
The Flow style of Yoga, like all forms originated from Hatha Yoga. Using music to inspire, meditation to calm the mind; and smooth, conscious, breath directed movements to anchor the awareness, the practitioner is led from one pose into the next. The held postures are embodied with a moment to moment awareness of intelligent alignment. The breath, body and awareness become established in a deep, steady union. The movement between postures is a rhythmic transformation process that brings the qualities of one pose into the next. Through carefully balanced sequences, progressions and modifications, the practitioner becomes fully absorbed in a feeling of energized awareness, deepening
our understanding of the Self. Subtle channels open, and begin to flow freely with vital life force energy, and we recognize our experience as a reflection of the greater rhythms and Flow of life and the universe.

Mixed Levels
This high-energy, upbeat class is designed for all levels with an emphasis on injury prevention through proper alignment and posture modifications. Students will learn the basic yoga poses and their variations in detail, focusing on safe transitions into and out of the different postures, as well as breathing techniques and the connection between breath and movement. We will explore longer holds and flowing sequences to increase body awareness, and build strength, flexibility, and balance. Students will become familiar with the use of props (blocks, straps, bolsters, even the wall) to provide options for more challenging poses as well as restorative postures for active relaxation. We encourage each student to approach their practice with patience and curiosity, and to move at a pace that is both challenging as well as honoring their present moment capacities.

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.

Hatha Flow
This class combines the traditional elements of Hatha Yoga with the synchronized, breath-directed movements of a more vigorous Flow. This gentle yet challenging practice incorporates traditional sun and moon salutes, restorative poses and sequences, meditation and pranayama (breath work) with standing poses, seated poses, inversions, twists, and back-bends to deepen and refine the awareness of the body and mind. The use of props and modifications enables students to work through physical limitations, stiffness, or strain with comfort and ease. Postures are practiced mindfully and with detailed awareness of alignment to create stability and balance. The cumulative effect achieved by practicing specific sequences allows the body to open and develop energetically. The timing of longer holds serves to anchor consciousness in the physical body, and affects the individual on an organic, mental and spiritual level. Seamless awareness of the breath and breath-based movements create a flowing state of presence. The practice closes with a deeply calming final relaxation (shavasana). You will leave feeling grounded, rejuvenated and refreshed! Open to all.

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 into one fluid movement on a wood floor. Socks (for the hands) and knee pads are needed, but can be borrowed for the first class. Each class will start with an explanation of the practice and how it is performed, including less strenuous options. The led practice consists of 108 prostrations and will be followed by a final cooling and integration period. Prostrations are a wonderful purification practice that works off negative karma and benefits the body (intense core work!), mind and spirit.

Slow Flow
Slow flow is designed to gently guide students into a sense of ease through fluidity of the breath. Classes begin with gentle restorative poses, in these supported poses we begin the process of connecting to our own breath. Asanas are held longer allowing the opportunity to explore the inner balance of the pose, focus on alignment, grounding, and engagement while releasing the tendencies of holding, rigidity, and straining. Flowing with intention throughout the practice, guided by the breath. Using the breath to create connectivity to our movement and to our deeper truer selves, this class will bring you to a space of grounded ease, in mind and body. Open to all.
