The class description below should assist members in choosing various classes. Every instructor is unique and is influenced by a blend of several yoga disciplines. We encourage participants to experience all classes and instructors.

Hatha Yoga: The traditional style of Yoga taught for thousands of years. This style of Yoga tends to hold postures longer. Emphasis is placed on breathing as well as body awareness. (Recommended Style for Beginners)

Iyengar Yoga: a form of Hatha yoga that focuses on the structural alignment of the physical body through the development of postures and poses.

Vinyasa Yoga: Poses are linked together in a flow-like style to build heat in the body naturally from the inside out. Emphasis is placed on flexibility, strength and coordination.

Restorative Yoga: This class combines gentle yoga, deep stretches and restorative poses. In restorative yoga traditional postures are practiced using the support of props, allowing your body to completely release into the pose and experience deep openings. Each class includes a supported inversion which detoxifies organs, reverses the effects of gravity, and reduces stress hormones.

Ashtanga Yoga: A vigorous vinyasa yoga class meant to physically and mentally challenges you. This practice can increase strength, endurance and ability to focus on any task for a long period of time with out breaking your concentration.

Anusara Yoga: It is a style of yoga described as heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, yet grounded in a deep knowledge of outer- and inner-body alignment. Each student's various abilities and limitations are deeply respected and honored.

Gentle Yoga: Utilizes restorative yoga postures that are designed to be gentle but effective in opening the subtle energies of the body. The postures are released in slow motion which results in a sense of deep relaxation, connection and peace. A guided Savasana or deep relaxation at the end of class will allow the release of all remaining tension and take you to that place of being fully alive and aware of yourself.
