Yoga Class Descritpions

Forrest Yoga
Uses heat, vigorous workouts and deep breathing to sweat out toxins. This class gets you strong and centered by connecting you to your core. The long holds in the pose sequences help you flush, oxygenate and rejuvenate every cell. Forrest Yoga does not require strength or flexibility; it only requires that you bring a willingness to learn how to feel authentically and respond honestly. As you advance you learn how to intelligently ride your breath into the thrilling advanced poses. This is an intense, mindful yoga that helps build flexibility, intelligence and strength allowing students to deepen their relationship with their authentic self. Please bring 2 mats and a towel to class.

Gentle/Restorative Yoga
Gentle/Restorative Yoga involves the combination of physical postures, breathing and deep relaxation. Restorative postures can be very useful for people who feel weak, fatigued or highly stressed. Restorative yoga is gentle enough that it can be practiced when a person is ill or recovering from surgery. By using props (bolsters, blankets, straps, and eye pillows) students can ease themselves into postures that gently stretch the body and allow it to relax.

Hot Yoga
Be prepared to work hard and sweat! The room will be heated to keep your muscles and joints warm for optimal stretching and to help get rid of toxins in the body. This class will include standing postures, balancing postures, and floor postures to stretch and strengthen every part of your body and mind. No experience necessary! It’s not about doing, it’s about trying—you try 100% and you get 100% benefit. Bring a mat, towel, and plenty of water.

Kids Yoga
For children ages 5 – 10 years old. We will stretch, breathe, sing and play to develop a happy healthy sense of self. Through music, games, nature and animal poses, active movement and relaxation skills children will be able to express themselves creatively and individually. Building strength, flexibility, coordination and awareness as well as breathing and visualization techniques to promote focus and self-control.

Pilates

Vinyasa Flow
Students flow from one posture to another, synchronizing breath and movement. The class is set to music and designed to challenge, energize and engage the student. This builds heat, endurance, flexibility, strength and concentration. Sequencing is often built around sun salutations; each student is guided through a complete exploration of movement and philosophy. Focus is on the fundamentals of postures, pranayama and meditation. All levels welcomed.

Qi Gong
Qigong is an integration of physical postures, breathing techniques, and focused intentions. The word Qigong (Chi Kung) is made up of two Chinese words. Qi is pronounced chee and is usually translated to mean the life force or vital-energy that flows through all things in the universe. The second word, Gong, pronounced gung, means accomplishment, or skill that is cultivated through steady practice. Together, Qigong (Chi Kung) means cultivating energy, it is a system practiced for health maintenance, healing and increasing vitality.
