Our hot classes are taught in a room ranging from 99-105*F. There are many benefits to using heat. The heat allows us to access tight muscles quickly while reducing the risk of injury. It increases pulse rate and metabolism, adding a cardiovascular aspect to the practice. The heat allows blood vessels to become more flexible therefore increasing circulation and getting blood flow to the limbs. Because we are sweating throughout the practice we are detoxifying our body, relieving stress and building a strong inner confidence.
HOT VINYASA
Vinyasa classes maintain awareness and focus on breath while moving through a vigorous series of postures. Each class is different but all follow a progression through warm up, variations of Sun Salutations, a dynamic standing series, various hip openers and stretches, and a final relaxation. Classes will often include arm balances and inversions. This style of yoga builds heat, flexibility, and strength while maintaining focus on good alignment.
HOT SLOW FLOW AND STRETCH
This approach to Vinyasa (linking breath to movement) helps us learn to breath, to reveal body awareness, inner strength, and improve flexibility. These slower paced vinyasa classes will include deeper stretches and longer holds. This class is appropriate for those new to yoga or experienced students who want to focus on alignment and greater flexibility.
DEEP STRETCH FOR ATHLETES
Deep Stretch for Athletes includes both dynamic and static stretches intended to restore balance in the body. Some postures are designed to loosen tight, overworked muscles while others will strengthen muscles in order to provide stability and prevent injury. Joint mobility and support will be included in most classes.
DEEP STRETCH
Deep Stretch is a slower paced class meant to restore the body and mind while increasing flexibility. We offer deep stretch in both the hot and non-hot rooms. The poses are mostly floor poses that are held for extended periods of time. The longer held postures allow tight muscles to gently release and tension in the mind and body to slowly melt away. **Evening deep stretch classes are done by candlelight to encourage a deeper sense of relaxation.
DEEP STRETCH AND YOGA NIDRA
Begin this class with gentle postures that are meant to restore the body and mind while increasing flexibility. Allow these deep stretches to become a gateway to meditation and “yogic sleep“ Yoga Nidra is a guided technique that allows your body and mind to enter into your deepest state of relaxation while remaining fully conscious. The result is a blissful sense of calm quiet and clarity.
This practice is done mostly on the floor. It is appropriate and encouraged for all levels
CORE, STRENGTHEN AND STRETCH
This class will move at a slower pace, combining deep stretching along with postures meant to strengthen the body with an emphasis on core power. The class is suitable for all levels , helps with injury prevention, strengthens muscles that protect our organs and central nervous system and promotes a healthy posture. A great class to address low back pain.
