Yoga Styles offered (private yoga sessions):

Hatha Yoga: It typically focuses on three aspects: breathing, meditation and postures. While suitable for beginners because of its easier moves and slower pace, it is great for more experienced yogis because of the relaxation and loosening of muscles.

Gentle Yoga: This class provides a safe, effective, non-competitive environment that is welcome to all. Appropriate for those who want a softer, nurturing, slow-paced, well supported and relaxing practice.

Yoga for Addiction Recovery: Breath work and gentle yoga combined with daily 12-step readings or meditations, designed for anyone who is dealing with an addictive behavior. Promotes stillness and stress relief.

Slow Flow Yoga: A smooth linking of unhurried breath with movement, intensified by mindfully holding postures for several breaths, awakening your body and clearing your mind. Enjoy the slower pace of this meditation in motion and the deeper stretches for the hips, back and legs. Suitable for all levels.

Restorative Yoga: It is a form of yoga that seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props and aromatherapy. Doing just a few poses in the course of an hour aided by bolsters, blankets, blocks, eye pillows and other props, the class is the most nurturing and relaxing of all classes. Suitable for anyone wishing to reduce stress in the body and gain serenity of mind.

Beginners Yoga: It’s all about the basics in these slower moving sessions that require you to hold each pose for a few breaths.

Yin Yoga: A slower paced, more meditative yoga. Poses are held for a longer period of time; typically three to five minutes or longer to target the connective tissues (such as the ligaments) rather than focusing on the muscles. As a result, the postures are more passive holds, with little muscular engagement.

Chair Yoga: A gentle form of yoga that can be done sitting on a chair or standing on the ground while using the chair for support. Suitable for everyone; no experience necessary.

Teen Yoga: Explore yoga poses, breathing, mindfulness and relaxation; promoting confidence and self-control while having fun. For ages 13 - 17.

Seniors Yoga: Take a yoga session at your own pace. Strengthen your bones and improve your balance. Focus your mind. Breathe and Relax. Chairs used as appropriate. No experience necessary.

Virtual (online) Yoga: Fully immersive yoga experience from the comfort of your home from your computer, tablet or phone. This class will take you through a range of gentle movements suitable for all levels of experience.
