Yoga / Restorative
Slow Flow Vinyasa
Vinyasa yoga is about flow and linking movements. It is mindful movement that will challenge you, building strength as you move your body while also stretching your muscles. It is about honoring where you are, aligning your postures and poses to your physical abilities, while striving for improvement each session. This is a mixed level class specifically designed to instruct you on the movements and poses, the breath, and the workout flow.
Aerial Yoga
The perfect combination of restorative and challenging. You will perform many of the traditional yoga poses but with the addition of a fabric hammock as a prop. The supportive fabric will also assist you in more challenging poses and inversions without adding pressure to your shoulders, head or spine - and in fact, inversions may have the added benefit of relieving stress through the back and spine.
All levels are welcome in this class.
MMA - Mobility, Movement and Agility
Einstein wrote “Nothing happens, until something moves.” We can flip that thought around to say that the less you are able to move, the less happens. This class will focus on restoring and maintaining your muscular and joint mobility to optimize your movement, so that you can move fluidly and with agility. Be prepared to use the foam rollers, Pilates equipment and props, and suspension trainers along with your own body.
