We will give you tools to make it as challenging or modified as you prefer- making it suitable for both advanced students or beginners. Gain strength, flexibility and awareness of your body and mind.
Yoga Strength:
This class combines traditional yoga poses and flow with exercises designed to build muscular strength and endurance as well as improve cardiovascular function. In-studio props, such as blocks and sandbags, will be used to create different loads on the body. No previous experience with resistance training required. Classes are not hot.
Guided Meditation:
The physical practice of yoga strengthens our physical body and makes us more flexible. The practice of meditation has the same benefits for our minds. Among its many benefits, meditation is proven to decrease anxiety, stress, depression and improve cognitive function. This class will begin with 30 minutes of mindful movement, followed by 30 minutes of various guided meditation practices. Each month we will explore different techniques. No experience necessary and all levels are welcome. Classes are not hot.
Yin Yoga:
Yin Yoga target the low back and hips and all of the poses are practiced on the floor with the support of props (bolsters, blankets, and blocks).

Many students find Yin Yoga to be the perfect complement and balance to their more active, yang practices (such as All Levels Vinyasa). Classes are not hot.
