Yoga Classes:

bulletThe studio has a variety of classes for every level -- our class are light-hearted an fun while still focusing on the important aspects of a Yoga practice:
bullet

The Monday's Flowing Yoga evening class is more vigorous with flowing routines like the Sun Salutation, Moon Salutation and Tatva Yoga's Side-to-side flow and variations. This class is appropriate anyone with 3 or more months of a regular Yoga practice and knowledge of Sun Salutations.

bullet

If you are tired, stressed, or just drained, our Tuesday night Kundalini Yoga classes can help.  And if you want more than a "just physical" Yoga practice, Kundalini Yoga may be what you've been looking for.  Combining movements with vigorous breathing, special Kriyas for energy, health, heart-opening, etc., and easy to learn chants to calm the mind, Kundalini Yoga is a real life-enhancing and life-changing practice.  We also have a gong-meditation after the set.  Gong meditation really has to be experienced to be believed.  The class is appropriate for students at all levels of experience, and the routines (Kriya) are from the teachings of Yogi Bhajan.  The Tuesday class is taught by Arjinder Kaur.

bullet

The Thursday Hatha class is a mix of challenging and supportive asanas (poses) with more detail as to poses, alignment and breathing, and is appropriate for beginning students and experienced students who want to review pose details, and learn new variations.  This is more an instructional class and it a good class for those who have no Yoga experience.

bullet

Gentle Relaxing Hatha Yoga Saturday mornings 11:00AM - 12:15/12:30PM with you favorite Hatha Yoga asanas using slow and relaxing movements.  Appropriate for all levels.  Always including plenty of deep stretches.  Room temperature will be kept around 85 degrees -- safe for our more senior students, but warm enough for some great stretching.

bulletPrivate lessons are available by appointment. 
bulletYou can request the instructor to focus on a particular problem area for you, or to learn some basic Yoga poses if you are new to Yoga and feel uncomfortable joining the open Yoga class Thursdays or Saturdays. 
Private classes at the studio are $65/hour. 
bulletHave mat, will travel. 
bulletClasses can be arranged on-site at a nearby location of your choice -- like a conference room at your office.  It is recommended that participants buy a mat. (You can get them at Wal-Mart, Target or TJ Maxx.)  Please contact the instructor for pricing information.  The class is 1 hour and you can have up to 10 participants.

Pilates Classes:

bullet

Mat and Ball Exercises based on Spencer Pilates (we work too hard not to laugh once in awhile).  
bullet

Mat routines will be a series of movements designed to strengthen your abdominal and back muscles (core muscles).  These are done in a continuous flowing sequence, with pauses for resting and stretching.  We also include some upper body and leg/thigh/glut firming exercises.

bullet

Ball exercises are practiced with a large ball, sitting on the ball, holding the ball between your feet or in your hands, lying over the ball, or lying on the mat with your legs resting on the ball. These exercises strengthen your core and are great for strengthen the arms, legs, thighs and gluts.
