Ashtanga is a powerful yoga practice that builds sequentially in terms of flexibility and strength. It involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures that will detox your muscles and organs. Every time you practice you will experience inner transformation resulting in improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

Meditation- Bio-Energetic
Being a pillar of health, the practice of meditation allows the practitioner to find inner peace, harmony, and to see their true nature.
Traditionally, meditation aims at focusing the mind on the breath, a mantra, a philosophical principle, developing consciousness, and/or the observation and reflection of the Self. Bio-energetic Meditation combine the traditional approach of mindfulness with the knowledge and experience of feeling and sensing our energetic body through grounding and body awareness.
This class helps students to reconnect to their True Essence, feeling who they really are. With intention we create a ground for what they want to be an invitation for, what they want to bring more into their life.Consciously reconnecting to our spiritual essence, our Soul, and harnessing the power of the energies of the sky, the Earth, the elements, the four directions, we feel our place in the cosmos. Knowing we are part of the creative force of the universe, we can transform, create and manifest the life that we want.

Yin + Nidra
Offering depth and release as poses are held for three to five minutes, allowing the practitioner to fully sink into the posture. Through a prolonged exploration of the pose, a greater openness is revealed as deeper layers of fascia (connective tissue) release. When practicing yin yoga, you not only increase flexibility, but also gain a deeper appreciation of meditation while holding the poses.
The class will end with a yoga nidra. As described by Yoga International, Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep as it is commonly known, is an immensely powerful meditation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. While the practitioner rests comfortably in savasana (corpse pose), this systematic meditation takes you through the pancha maya kosha (five layers of self), leaving you with a sense of wholeness.”

Deep Stretch
This style of sequencing is based on developing strength and flexibility of tendons, ligaments, and joint capsules through the static holding of asanas. This develops static endurance, static strength, flexibility, and concentration (of the rays of attention). These qualities bring energetic results to the practitioner, providing a meditative state from calming and balancing the central nervous system (CNS).
This class seeks to tone, strengthen, and focus the body as you flow seamlessly from pose to pose. Using weights, blocks, resistance bands, and other props, this class brings greater awareness to breath and muscle engagement while getting the most from every yoga posture.

Slow Flow
This class takes Vinyasa to a whole new level. We believe when you slow your life down, you give your body time to heal and your mind time to recover. Come experience the true essence of vinyasa with this slow paced flow class that puts an emphasis on linking movements with the breath to create the ultimate moving meditation. Creative playlists and uniquely designed sequences will help guide you through a journey that will allow the movement practice to draw you deeper into the present moment and closer to your true self.
Yin Yoga is a quiet practice of long held postures that provides a balance to our active lifestyle. It works on the deeper tissues of the body, challenges the fascia, joints, tendons, ligaments, bones in a healthful way. It calls the body’s energy gently to these spaces to hydrate, smooth connective tissue, unblock stagnation and allow a deeper opening and release.
In a long held posture, we learn to allow rather than work, to release rather than hold or push against, to settle in and simply wait. In that still and quiet space, you can observe yourself. Not just the body’s reaction, but the fluctuation of the mind and all the ways it tries to run away. This is the true learning, seeing our own patterns and processes without judgement as we breathe and learn to stay. This reconnection of the body, mind and awareness is the return to wholeness. Within this quiet practice lies an actual experience of precisely that: Your own true self in wholeness.
Dynamic Yoga is all about finding your inner strength and becoming what you already are! This class is designed to challenge you and take you to your edge while linking breath to movement, which allows the practice to become a mindfulness meditation.
“An offshoot of Ashtanga Yoga, it has many of the same qualities and benefits, including building internal heat, increased stamina, strength, and flexibility, as well as stress reduction. Teachers design their own sequences, while students synchronize their breath with their movement. The original Power Yoga was developed and founded by Beryl Bender Birch, but is now a term used to describe many vigorous vinyasa styles.” – Yoga Journal

Within the Practice of Vinyasa Yoga, focus is placed on movement of the breath and the body. Vinyasa means to link the breath and essentially our breath leads us through the movement.

More information on Vinyasa-
“Vinyasa is a type of yoga that focuses on linking movement and breath to attain balance in the mind and body. From the Sanskrit “to place in a special way,” vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. Inhalation is usually connected to upward, open movements, while exhalation is often tied to downward movements or twists.
The Gong is one of man’s most powerful and oldest transformational and therapeutic instruments. It has been used for ritual, ceremony, prayer, and meditation since the Bronze Age. Its sound is relaxing and calming, centering and energizing, transforming and healing.
Playing and listening to gongs is about spiritual, physical and emotional resolution – opening of doors and windows to one’s soul and the Universe, moving around energies, Universal energies – to enter a spiritual dimension. The Gong is a psycho-acoustic gateway to heightened states of awareness and consciousness. It is an ideal tool for stress reduction, stimulation of the glandular system, and to break up emotional blockages. When skillfully played, gongs stimulate and resonate all cells in the human body simultaneously and recalibrate the parasympathetic nervous system.
