Yoga Class Descriptions

Yin Yoga moves slowly from one Hatha pose to another and holds each pose for several minutes. Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and joints of the body. Yin Yoga complements the more active styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles.

This class  highlights the basic poses of Hatha Yoga.  After a stretching warm-up, Stuart leads students though a range of postures moving from various positions (standing, seated, reclined) emphasizing proper alignment, breathing, and postures. Each class incorporates different sequences and pose variations.

Students will use yoga poses in a flow to generate a energizing workout. After a stretching warm-up, in addition to basic yoga pose flows, students will work on be doing some energetic sequences to "wake-up" for the day. This class builds strength, endurance, flexibility and connection with yoga poses and breathing sequences! 

This class is for Seniors, and those with limiting conditions and is a slow moving and gentle class. Stuart offers modifications to accommodate students, if needed. After a stretching warm-up, the class starts on the chair or mat and works there for 15-20 minutes. Next, the class moves to standing for balance work, standing poses, and breath-work. Finally, the class transitions to a restful relaxation.

This is a more advanced class for Seniors. After a stretching warm-up, this class assumes basic understanding of the basic 15-25 poses of yoga leading students though a range of postures moving from various positions. Each class is different, focusing on one or more fundamental or more advanced concepts of yoga.

Kundalini Yoga is also known as the Yoga of Awareness. Its focus is to awaken vital energies within you. Each class uses postures, movement, breath-work, and mantra (chanting) designed to strengthen specific physical, emotional, psychic, and spiritual outcomes and objectives. Be prepared to work hard and be rewarded! All levels of practice are welcome.
