Meditation

Meditation is a contemplative, holistic discipline which leads beyond reflexive, analytical thinking into a deeper state of relaxation and awareness.

Mindfulness Meditation. A contemplative, holistic discipline which leads beyond reflexive, analytical thinking into a deeper state of relaxation and awareness. To be mindful is to be aware of your thoughts and actions in the present, without judging yourself.
Classes begin March 4, 9:00 – 10:30 am.


Pilates

Pilates mat classes emphasize fundamental such as neutral postural alignment, breathing, deep core muscle activation and mind-body connection. Pilates props such as bands, small balls and rollers will be utilized throughout the session, but are always optional. Beginners are recommended for participants of any fitness level with no previous Pilates experience. Intermediate classes are more challenging requiring more core strength and stability, with precision, control and fluidity of movement.

Yoga

Ashtanga Yoga. Synchronization of breath with a fluid transition of postures focussing equally on stamina, strength, and flexibility.

Fusion Yoga. Dynamic and flowing practice that allows for a fluid transition from one posture to another while maintaining breath connection.

Hatha Yoga. Develops strength and flexibility while maintaining joint stability and mobility. Movement is done through a flow of poses with breath and ease to create a sense of balance in body and mind.

Insight Yoga. Hatha-based yoga that takes each student on their own inner journey to locate tension patterns and release them.

Karma Yoga. Students will be encouraged to practice at their own pace and in a style that suits them. Private instruction in a small group setting.

Mindfulness Yoga. Combines Ashtanga, Hatha, Flow, Pranayama, Restorative, and Yin/Yang postures to experience the full benefit of a yoga practice.

Yin/Yang Yoga. A slow, deep practice that increases flexibility by stretching connective tissue of hips, pelvis and spine. Postures are held for a few minutes to deepen the awareness of the inner structure of the body.

*Classes with less than five people are subject to change.
