Gentle Flow Yoga
Starting October 20th
This class is intended for students who are familiar with basic yoga postures, but it is also open to beginners. We will move slowly and consciously through the postures, flowing from pose to pose or flowing within a pose. We will integrate breath with movement, to create a moving meditative practice. A wider variety of poses are offered in this class, but there are always options/variations given for everyone in the class. Includes breathing exercises (pranayama) and yoga philosophy. Class ends with final relaxation (savasana).

Strength/Balance/
Stretch
Starting October 21st
A total body workout that will strengthen the entire body and focus on improving balance and flexibility. We will start with a short cardio warm-up segment where we will move to R&B, rock n' roll, jazz, swing, and more. We will then focus on strength and balance using traditional exercise, ballet barre, and Pilates inspired movement to strengthen the shoulders, core, hips and legs. We will use light hand weights (1-4 lbs.), and a core strengthening ball. Please bring a yoga/Pilates mat. Each class will end with a good stretch to elongate working muscles. Please note: This class is for adults who can get up and down from the floor easily.

Mat Pilates
Starting October 22nd
Pilates Mat Basics is a total body "strengthening while lengthening" exercise class inspired by the work of Joseph Pilates. Core muscles are strengthened - the abdomen, hips, legs, and shoulders - without adding bulk. Flexibility also increases as exercises elongate working muscles. This class is ideal for beginners or those wanting to refine foundational elements. Please bring a yoga/Pilates mat.
