Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is perfect for those
who want a serious workout. Developed by K. Pattabhi Jois, Ashtanga
is physically demanding. Ashtanga Yoga involves performing a challenging
sequence of poses with ujjayi breathing and vinyasas (a flow of postures)
in order to build strength, flexibility, and stamina.
Hatha Yoga is the
practice of physical yoga, or
postures. This is an excellent class for beginners or anyone interested
in exploring the
nuances of the classic yoga postures. The flow and postures practiced
will vary with each class and the room will NOT be heated.
Hot Yoga is a series of postures (asanas) practiced in a
room heated between 90 and 100 degrees F, so be prepared to sweat
a lot. The heat
is designed to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper
stretch, and cleanse the body by flushing toxins through sweat. Each
posture
stretches, strengthens and prepares muscles, ligaments, and joints
for the next posture. Each posture is usually performed twice and
held for a certain period of time
Pregancy Yoga is extremely effective for preparing
a woman for the emotional and physical changes that occur during pregnancy.
The postures and sequences are tailored for this very specialtime in
a woman's life and ultimately prepares for birth on a holistic level.
This class is taught by a teacher certified in Pregnancy Yoga.
NOTE: Pregnant students must obtain a release from their doctor prior
