Class descriptions

Chair Yoga – Chair Yoga is a perfect way to start or continue your yoga practice without having to get down to the floor (yay for tender wrists, hips and knees). This class offers breathing exercises and movements to stretch, strengthen, balance and relax the whole body, from head to toe. All postures are done either sitting in a chair, or standing by a chair.

Yin Yoga – A slow, deep stretch to release tension, to lengthen tight muscles and connective tissues (e.g. hamstrings, hips, shoulders, neck), and to maintain suppleness in the spine. In order to balance the long-held Yin Yoga postures, we incorporate some active movements to build strength and stability.

Traditional Hatha Yoga – Based on the Sivananda approach, this class opens with breathing exercises and sun salutations, continues with the practice of twelve basic yoga postures and their variations, and concludes with a guided full-body relaxation. The only 90-minute class on our schedule, this well-rounded practice will leave you feeling re-energized, relaxed and ready for the day ahead.

Morning Meditation – The practice of meditation will help you

to calm and focus your mind
to begin each day feeling clearer and happier
and to feel increasingly connected to your Higher Self / Higher Power.

Meditation is a simple and powerful way to explore your inner world. With practice, it leads us to the serenity, clarity and contentment that lie within. This is also where we find our freedom to choose our thoughts, and therefore to create and recreate our lives.

Note: All class times are in Eastern Time.
