Hot Yoga is one of the most popular styles of
yoga today. The studio is heated, warming you inside-out.
The heat encourages flexibility and the safe stretching
of muscles. Feel energetic, vibrant and strong as toxins
are released from the body through sweat. After limbering
up the body, you transition into a series of standing
and floor postures and exercises that target the abdominals,
back and pelvis to create a toned, balanced and strong
body. You focus on learning and exploring precise alignment
in each posture while maximizing stamina, strength,
body awareness and mental focus.
Ashtanga Yoga connects
various physical poses, called "asanas," into
energizing sequences. The well-know "sun salutation"
sequence is the basis of all ashtanga yoga. Students
learn to safely move in and out of postures, and are
introduced to the elements of the ashtanga practice,
including correct breathing and gazing points. Synchronizing
your breath with the postures produces an internal heat
and a purifying sweat detoxifies muscles and organs.
Improve circulation and create a light, strong body
and a calm mind.
Hatha Yoga is a quieter
style of yoga. Focus is on alignment and breath, and
go deeper into each individual posture, while encouraging
lengthening and stretching of the muscles. Restore balance
and expand awareness of the body, breath and mind, in
this challenging and detailed-oriented physical practice.
Vinyasa Power Power Flow (Power
Yoga) classes are lively, energetic, flowing
classes synchronizing breath with movement. Through
practice, students are able to build strength, flexibility,
and concentration. Cleanse the body and calm the mind.
You can expect a great cardiovascular and strength building
workout combined with breath work (pranayama).
The term "vinyasa" is a word used to define
the mindful flow in the sun salutation series of: chaturanga,
up dog, down dog, all linked by ujayyi pranayama breathing.
This sequence builds upper body strength and heat in
the body, while stretching the legs and relaxing the
spine.
Most Vinyasa Power Flow classes are modeled on the
Ashtanga style of yoga. The term Vinyasa Power Flow
(Power Yoga) was created by teachers looking to make
Ashtanga yoga more accessible. These classes are appropriate
for beginners through to advanced students. Modified
versions of more challenging postures will always be
given. Students are always supported to work at their
own pace. Balance postures, standing and seated postures
will be included to help build strength, endurance,
and increase flexibility, relieve tension and lift your
spirits.
Gentle Yoga uses supports
called "props" instead of muscular tension
to maintain poses. Gentle yoga is perfect for those
who would like to work at a slower, gentler pace. This
class emphasizes moving with ease and comfort, with
breath awareness to increase strength, flexibility and
endurance. Slower exploration of postures allows for
deep relaxation and quiet meditation.
Yoga for Runners Yoga
and running have a lot in common. They require regular
practice, strength, flexibility, mental focus and a
structured breathing method. Running is high impact
and repetitive; without proper care, running can cause
long term damage to the joints. Maintaining a well balanced
body is crucial to avoid injuries. Yoga is a perfect
cross training tool for runners. Yoga builds strength,
stamina, and increases flexibility. One of the most
important elements of yoga is learning how to breathe.
This is critical for runners because you need to pump
large amounts of oxygen into your lungs and muscles.
