YOGA
All Levels Yoga Flow (Vinyasa) - This alignment based restorative practice blends the flow and extension of traditional vinyasa. Each instructor will bring their own expertise and flare to this class leaving you feeling grounded and centered. Our All Levels Flow is perfect for those newer to yoga while also providing a challenge for our more experienced students; as we offer modifications and variations to meet you at your comfort level. Throughout this musically driven guided flow, we'll get creative and free while practicing alignment, breathing, mindfulness and stretching. You'll roll out of savasana with your mind, body, and spirit feeling at peace.
Yoga Sculpt - All the benefits of our traditional Yoga Flow, but taken to the next level! Yoga Sculpt is the perfect combination of mental awareness with the satisfaction of an intense, total body workout. In this class, your typical yoga flow will be balanced with free weights to increase strength and tone muscles. Upbeat music & high energy makes this class a great change of a pace and a whole lot of fun!
Yin Yoga - is a passive, still practice that works into the deeper layers of connective tissue, joints, and ligaments to release chronic held tension and to restore vitality and health to these important tissues. Unlike the muscles, which are more yang parts of our bodies, the connective tissues need to be addressed with a quiet attitude of acceptance. Postures are practiced seated or reclining and are held for several minutes at a time. This practice also targets the meridian lines of Traditional Chinese Medicine/acupuncture to enhance the body's immunity, create emotional equilibrium and promote the balanced flow of chi or prana. Yin Yoga balances the yin and yang aspect of ourselves through a strong, sweet practice that will challenge you physically and mentally. Yin yoga is appropriate for students of all levels.
Buti Yoga® is a movement methodology that incorporates dynamic yoga asana with primal movement, energetic activation, cardio-dance bursts & deep core conditioning into one dynamic, high intensity, total body workout. The beat blended movement forces you out of your head and INTO YOUR BODY. Buti takes you on a journey that allows you to integrate your human experience instead of escape it.
The practice of Buti can be challenging, but is designed for all levels and entirely approachable. You begin where you are, with what you have. And through this journey, you learn acceptance, compassion, and self-love.
“Buti” is a Marathi Indian term for “the cure to something that’s been hidden away or kept secret.” Buti is a practice of going within to discover your true power and full potential. It becomes the cure to any previous disillusionments of fear, lack, or weakness.
