Flow: In Yoga, vinyasa is a flowing sequence of asanas, or poses, usually centered around the Surya Namaskar (sun salutation) and linked to the rhythm of the breath. Breath-and-movement Yoga is meditation in movement. These classes may be slower (Mellow) or faster (Power) paced depending on the instructor but they have in common the consistent timing and movement of the body and the breath.
Iyengar: Iyengar Yoga is based directly on the teachings of world-renowned yogi B.K.S. Iyengar. Each Iyengar class focuses on a different sequence of poses. Over time, study in the Iyengar system will expose students to a full range of poses, developing strength, endurance, flexibility, and inner calmness. Accuracy and alignment are emphasized, and students learn fundamental principles that allow them to do postures safely and effectively as they progress from beginning to advanced poses. As students become toned, some poses are held for longer periods of time to allow for reflection and observation. Props may be used to help students learn a pose, do a pose correctly, or increase the time poses are held.
Prenatal Yoga: Whether you are new to yoga or a seasoned yogini, prenatal yoga is a wonderful way to connect with your body, your baby, and other moms-to-be. Our Prenatal Yoga class is designed with the mom-to-be in mind. It's a great way to bring awareness to your body, your breath, and your baby. This focus will help you throughout your pregnancy and during childbirth.
Yoga is both healthy and safe for you and your baby. You will learn poses and breathing techniques to help support you and your body's changing needs during your pregnancy. You will also be taught in small classes, surrounded by other expecting moms. What a wonderful way to connect with your baby and women just like you.

Pilates Mat: Based on the Pilates exercise system, focusing on core strength, flexibility, and coordination, Pilates mat classes are a perfect complement to your regular workout routine. They are also a wonderful way to begin your journey into fitness. Pilates is based on the six principles of concentration, centering, control, precision, breath, and flow.
