Descriptions


Hatha Yoga
Beginners and practicing students alike are welcome to join to stretch, strengthen and relax. The class will focus on relaxing the body and mind through controlled breathing and the stretching and strengthening of our muscles. While the class does include flowing between postures, the class focuses more on holding poses to relax the mind and body. Class size is small so that each student can receive individual attention from the teacher and it is a comfortable and fun environment. Each class will end with an open or guided meditation. 

Yogalates This yoga is a form of beginner's hatha
yoga connects the body and mind. The class moves in a flow (sequence) of poses withsome pilates exercises woven through. The pilates moves are very gentle and focus on strengthening the core. We also work on breath and relaxation.
