Pre-Natal Yoga is a practice designed especially for all stages of pregnancy. These classes generally focus on soothing the discomforts that may accompany pregnancy while encouraging one to become fully present and fully connected within the body. Yogic breathing practices have been shown to be effective and useful during the labor and delivery process. A pre-natal yoga practice is an opportunity for the mother, or mother to be, to take time to nourish herself and her body during this special time.

Post-Natal Yoga is designed for women who have recently given birth (at least 6 weeks post-partum). This practice is about reclaiming the body after pregnancy and learning how to find a graceful balance between giving to others and receiving what is necessary and nourishing for you. Post-Natal Yoga focuses building strength and stamina while offering deep stretches, deep breathing, and deep relaxation.

Baguazhang, eight diagram palm, is a traditional Chinese movement art based on the I Ching and deeply rooted in ancient Daoist longevity exercises and internal alchemy practices. Along with the arts of Taijiquan, Xingyiquan and others, Baguazhang is part of a family of arts referred to as Chinese “internal arts”. As well as being a highly developed fighting art, the internal art of Baguazhang is an excellent health maintenance system. Baguazhang’s movements help to instill in the practitioner the ability to develop and use the spiral energy that is inherent in all things, both great and small. These movements help to develop a strong, unified body structure, while also massaging and tonifying the internal organs. Its internal work, neigong, is based on the acupuncture meridian system used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. By combining the mind through intention, correct postural alignment and breathing techniques, Baguazhang connects us with our body’s innate wisdom and opens, balances and nourishes the body’s intrinsic energy system to preserve health and ward off illness. The attributes developed for self defense are proper body mechanics, fighting theory and the use of internal energy. Because these are different than the traditional fighting attributes of speed and strength, these skills can be practiced and excelled at by everyone, regardless of age. Regular practice develops a unified body that moves with power, balance and agility, while energizing the body and calming the mind.

Restorative yoga offers gentle movements and postures that restore, relax, and rejuvenate one’s whole being. This practice often employs the use of blocks, bolsters, blankets and straps to give the extra support needed to completely let go. Restorative yoga is largely based off of an Iyengar practice which is focused on providing the support necessary to properly align the body to retrain cellular and muscular memory. It is a great practice for those new to yoga and is a great remedy for anxiety, degenerative conditions, depression, or structural issues.

Universal Yoga is a multi-faceted system of methods that represent all the essential rules and laws of authentic yoga. It is about unifying all the methods and disciplines in authentic yoga that can be used for any and all individuals, and for any broad or specific goal. A typical UY asana class will be oriented around the idea of creating balance on all the layers of self (physical, energetic, emotional and mental) using the three main threads of yoga practice: body, breath, and mind. The asanas, vinyasas, breathing techniques and turns on the mat, are creatively integrated while using all major ranges of mobility for arms, legs and spine. The primary goal of practice is not to target the body, but to target one’s concentration, focus and attention; to turn it all inward, creating a serenely stable inner-atmosphere conducive for awareness & personal development.

Vinyasa literally means linking breath with movement. This practice focuses on synchronizing inhales and exhales with the bodily movement from one asana, or posture, to another with poise, intention, and grace. Through a yoga practice, we explore what it means to ground the breath through Pranayama, or yogic breathing exercises, and how to utilize the breath to build a greater awareness of the body, mind, and spirit and the depth of their connection. Vinyasa yoga is an awareness practice that builds stamina, strength, balance, and flexibility, while focusing the mind and contributing to one’s overall health and wellness.

Yin yoga is a quiet, meditative practice that consists of passive postures held for up to five minutes to allow for a deep, meaningful stretch. Because this is a passive practice, the muscles have a chance to relax, hidden tension melts away, and we have the opportunity to stretch deeper with intention and with breath. Yin Yoga results in deep relaxation, a more balanced breath, more supple joints, greater ease of movement, and less limitation in the body. This practice invites all participants to slow down, breathe, and let go.

It is believed that the practice of Yoga originated in Northern India some 5000 years ago with the intention of preparing the body for the stillness required to mediate.
