Hatha Yoga encompasses all postural yoga practice.

Hatha Yoga translates to sun/moon. Ha meaning "sun" and tha (pronounced ta) meaning "moon." This refers to the balance of the masculine and feminine forces.

The “ha” or sun element has properties of being active, intense or powerful and the “tha” or moon element has properties of being soothing, maternal, cooling. 

These forces coexist to bring about the balance of empowerment and humility, or courage and kindness. One allows the other to exist harmoniously, in this practice and in our lives.

So hatha yoga encourages the balancing of the forces of nature within us to experience a state of union, or samadhi.

Gentle Yoga is a practice of movement benefitting the beginner or the intermediate practitioner. It is a gentle flow class, kind on the joints and comfortable for the body. In each class we experience a greater focus on the breath, the gentle flow of physical movement, and a deep, peaceful meditation.

Vinyasa Yoga refers to a flowing sequence of asanas (or postures). The term vinyasa, in Sanskrit, literally translates to “to place in a special order” and refers to breath synchronized movement.

This is a dynamic flow and has a tendency to be the most challenging of the group sessions we offer.

Restorative Stretch Yoga is the most restful of the physical practices. It is perfect to soothe the overactive body and tight muscles. If you are new to yoga or are reentering your practice after a hiatus, this is the perfect practice for you. Throughout this hour, there is a deepened focus on the breath. The slow, restful movements are beneficial to every body type and a soothing meditation ends each practice.

This is an essential practice for restoring the adrenal system. It balance the nervous system. Restorative Stretch Yoga can be done with or without props. This practice is highly recommended for stress reduction and overall wellness.

Yin Yoga, derived from the Taoist concepts of Yin/Yang, concentrates on strengthening, lengthening and rehabilitating the body's connective tissue.  In contrast to other yoga disciplines which focus on muscle flexibility and strength, Yin postures put gentle stress on inelastic joints and ligaments and are held for longer periods of time. 

Yin is a quiet, meditative practice that is a necessary though often over-looked element of a comprehensive yoga discipline. We encourage everyone from beginner to seasoned yogi to balance their practice with this class.

Chair Yoga as the name suggests, utilizes the prop of a chair for facilitated stretching in a group setting. It is used in seated postures as well as standing postures and is excellent for those who have joint sensitivity or limited mobility. Chair Yoga takes a therapeutic approach and is highly beneficial for all yogis.
