The breath is an important link between our body, mind, and spirit. Conscious control of the breath allows us control of the mind, and as a result, of the body.

It very effectively reduces the effects of stress on both the body and mind, and is quite beneficial to those with high blood pressure and mild asthma.

Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues of the body that the more active styles of Yoga practice do not. It achieves stimulation and release of the tendons, ligaments, bones, and joints through long holds and a deeper awareness.

Highly beneficial for all, Yin Yoga focuses upon the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine. No previous experience required. Students are asked to bring two towels to class with them. Yoga blocks are also a good addition if you have them.

The dormant potential energy coiled at the base of the spine in each one of us is called Kundalini.

This class is recommended for those wishing to evolve their practice beyond the physical and into the more spiritual, energetic realm. No previous yoga experience required.

Yoga recognizes that true and complete happiness comes from within. It cannot be given by one to another; it is the direct result of knowing your True Self. Thus the true path of Yoga begins with the question of “Who am I?”. As we begin to explore this, our view of all aspects of life begins to change, allowing us to see the direct connectedness of all that surrounds us. Learn more about this philosophical path and be introduced to a more joyful way of experiencing life itself.  Group Philosophy classes are combined with a Meditation component.
