Hatha Flow

09/08/2008
Building upon our Hatha Yoga class, Hatha Flow integrates individual postures into flowing movements coordinated with the breath.   All students are encouraged to move at comfortable pace.  We recommend that students be comfortable with the basic Sun Salutation sequence for this class.  In addition, students should be familiar with basic yogic breathing techniques, such as Dirga and Ujjayi pranayama.

Nia Dance

09/08/2008
Nia, or "Neuromuscular Integrative Action," fuses dance movement, the martial arts and healing arts into an invigorating cardiovascular fitness program. In essence, Nia combines elements of tai-chi, yoga and dance.

Nia’s philosophy, “Through Movement We Find Health,” means we believe in the power of self-discovery through movement. In practicing Nia you fall in love with being and moving in your body – you experience the power of Self-Healing. Nia empowers people to make their own movement choices by offering a flexible structure they can personally modify to suit individual needs.

The blueprint of Nia is practical, experiential, and focuses on internal guidance to change and develop awareness. This class is a fit for everyone!

Hatha Yoga

In addition to asana (posture) instruction, this class is infused with yoga philosophy, brief meditation and pranayama (breathing) practice. Compassionate and skilled teachers emphasize proper body alignment and awareness, and use of breath for integration and release.

Sustained postures promote strength, flexibility and the ability of the body to recover from day-to-day stresses. Classes are tailored to meet the needs of the individual student for that day. Appropriate for all.

Kundalini Yoga

09/08/2008
Kundalini Yoga combines pranayama (conscious breathing) with dynamic movement to invigorate the body, strengthen the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems. Kundalini Yoga Classes can open up blocked energy, returning body and spirit to inner balance; the practice helps ease emotional, physical and mental tension. Mantra (chanting/singing) is woven with the breath to focus the mind and to bring the emotional body under control.

Kundalini is called the Yoga of Awareness because through this practice we seek with our breath to become conscious of how we interact and relate in the world with others. We learn self healing and responsibility. A typical class will begin with a meditative warm-up emphasizing the flow of breath and your awareness to it. We then move into physical asana which includes rhythmic movements of the body and the breath.

This is followed by a Kriya, a specific sequence of exercises designed to bring about a specific metabolic change. Each Kriya has a goal, be that cleansing the liver, calming the nerves, or strengthening the heart, etc. Kriya also assists the ability to meditate. This class allows for a longer and deeper meditation at the close of class. Everyone is welcome!
