Teaching Styles

BASICS
This class introduces the “basics” of the yoga practice: how to use the breath, to safely align in the postures, increase flexibility and balance, and to also relax. Emphasis is on the sun salutation and standing and seated poses. This class is for all levels of experience.

VINYASA
This is an energizing class, with an emphasis on the sun salutations, the breath as you move through vinyasa (flow) sequences, and proper alignment in the postures. Each class is different from the next. Modifications are offered to students of all levels of ability. It is recommended in order to get the most out of the class that you have some yoga experience, are comfortable moving up and down on the mat, or have taken our Basics class or a few private sessions.

SLOW FLOW
This class leads you more slowly into and out of the postures. There is less of an emphasis on the dynamic repetition of sun salutations and more on longer held poses, to help build strength and flexibility. Modifications are demonstrated. All levels are welcome.

GENTLE FLOW
This gentle, slow-paced class is appropriate for beginners; anyone dealing with a chronic condition that affects the muscles and joints and needs help relaxing stiff muscles and easing sore joints; and/or anyone wanting to complement their regular yoga practice with a gentler class. There will be less focus on strengthening poses and more on relaxing and stretching. This class is appropriate for students who are able to move easily on and off the mat.

FOCUSED FLOW
In this all levels slow flow class we pick a pose or body part to focus on throughout each month.

YOGA TONE
This class combines the core strengthening exercises of pilates, light hand weights, and traditional yoga asana. You’ll feel energized and stronger from the inside out! This class is for all levels. Melissa is a Senior Stott Pilates Instructor and a 500 hour yoga instructor.

POWER HOUR
This is a more challenging and vigorous class than the vinyasa classes. It focuses equally on strength and flexibility, incorporating traditional yoga postures, inversions, arm balances, and dynamic movement. It's fun and energetic and moves at a dynamic pace. Some yoga experience is recommended. A great break in the middle of the day!

YIN & SLOW FLOW
Yin Yoga uses long, passive holds to focus on the deep, dense connective tissues of your body which are difficult to release. This practice settles you into poses for 3-5 minutes, bringing you to an intense but relaxing stretch that focuses on the hips, low back and pelvis. Yin targets chronic tension, increasing flexibility on a deep level, and connecting you to your intuition. In this class we spend about 40 minutes in yin poses, and end class with a slow flow that complements the passive yin practice by engaging the muscles, while moving with the breath. Treat yourself to this relaxing and meditative practice. No yoga experience is required. Twice a month this fall we invite Zach Field to play live pitched gongs and drums in the class. There is an extra charge of $5 for members and $20 for non-members.

YINERGY FLOW
This class is the same as the Yin & Slow Flow class but infused with energy healing exercises and tips that complement your yoga practice and aid in an overall feeling of well-being.
