A little more alignment, a little less flow!  Based on Anusara alignment principles, this practice will explore the shape of each pose as well as the action to bring your asana to life!  More hands-on assists will be offered in these classes. 

Somatic movements emphasize internal physical perception and experience. The type of Somatics explored in this class focuses on neuromuscular re-education, which helps release chronically tense and over-used muscles.

During the course of our lives, our sensory motor system responds to daily stress with specific muscular reflexes. When repeatedly triggered, we cannot voluntarily relax the muscles. They become so unconscious we forget how to move about freely. This results in stiffness, soreness and restricted range of motion. Movement explored in this class will work to release those chronically tense muscles.

​

The Somatic movements will be blended with a therapeutic approach to all aspects of Yoga including postures, breathing, meditation and relaxation.

This class is suitable for all levels and abilities and is lead by a trauma informed Yoga Therapist.

This is a general yoga class suitable for all levels (from beginner to advanced) incorporating strengthening, stretching and balancing components as well as cultivating a connection to the breath. 

This class introduces you to or strengthens your knowledge of the Sun Salutation sequence. Typically, each pose moves from one breath to the next. Other poses will be explored within this "flow". Suitable for all levels.

This one-hour class incorporates various yoga techniques including breathing exercises, asanas and concludes with a meditation practice. The three-part sequence allows you to connect to all your senses, turn your awareness inwards and, over time, gain a deeper connection and understanding about yourself and the people around you.

Designed to deliberately calm the body, heart and mind with intentional, fluid movement connected to breath. Expect longer holds, pauses to catch your breath and a physical practice that flows between suppleness and strength. Open to all levels.

Yin Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that emphasizes joint health, stretching and calming the mind/nerves.

On a physical level we take a posture and remain in that posture for 3 to 5 minutes allowing for the gentle release of the connective tissues of the body. As the connective tissues release, they provide greater flow of blood, oxygen and fluid to our joints.  On a mind body level we practice dropping out of our heads and into our hearts, breathing in and out of our hearts, allowing ourselves to notice, just notice the experience. We use silent mantra to calm the mind and nerves. Welcoming the relaxation and allowing the yoga to do the work.

The practise of yoga can enhance flexibility, balance, resilience, agility, and
stamina, and it also can develop stillness of the mind and the ability to focus.
The Sanskrit word yoga means to join or to unite. As we engage with yoga, we
can create a growing sense of unity of body, mind, intellect, emotions, and spirit.
