Hot Yoga
The Hot Yoga class is a 90 minute class consisting of a series of 26-32 postures and two breathing exercises practiced in a heated room; designed to balance every system, gland and organ in the body, it will change your body from the inside out.
You will sweat, stretch, strengthen and smile broadly at what you are capable of! All classes are taught by certified and experienced teachers who know how to guide and support students at any level.
Be warned that this class is addictive and known to change lives!
Hot Yoga SILENT
This is the same class as the regular Hot Yoga, only it is done with out verbal instructions; the lead teacher practices the class along side everyone in the room. Music is played to help energize and motivate you as you work through the series. Lights are low and large candle are lit around the room. This a great class to end a stressful week or get you prepared for the week ahead.
Although the series practiced is beginner friendly, we require that all attendees have done at least 10 regular Hot Yoga classes in order to make this a safe, enjoyable experience for all.
Hot Lunch (60 minutes)
Appropriate for all levels, but please have at least 5 90 minute classes under your belt. There is minimal instruction and the pacing is fast!
Same principles and poses as the regular 90 minute Hot Yoga, with a shorter standing series, some poses held for one set only and/or shorter than the 90 minute class. We will also in-corporate some flow of poses in the warm up and spine strengthening…getting you plenty warm for the big stretches at the end. A great way to fit your yoga in. This class is for all levels, but would be best for folks who are familiar with the poses as it will move quicker and time will not be spent on details.
Hot Intensive: 2 hours
For experienced students with healthy knees/lower back and adventurous spirit!
2 hour intensive: Every Monday at noon, beginning January 12th This hot class will in-corporate the traditional opening sequence from the advanced 84 posture sequencing. Moving into the standing series, poses will be held longer, with time to work deeper in to the poses and learn the next step. The floor series will include beginning arm balances and getting folks ready for head stands and inverted arm balances. Not for beginners, but very accessible to folks who feel like their bodies looking for more in poses. No need to be uber flexible or strong. But, best done injury free, with fairly strong knees and shoulders. If you have questions about whether you are ready for this or not, talk to Monica. This is a by donation class.
Suggested minimum donation is $10.00.
Simple Yoga with Jill Marie (90 minutes)
This is a 90 minute class with the heat off, the fans on and the door open. You will start soft and end soft and in between, you’ll do a mixed bag of poses that are sure to leave you stretched and strong.
Jill considers each class a mini workshop and will drive you crazy with details and alignment. Strengthening poses are a must, building inner core stability and testing your patience! You will work together with partners, laugh out loud and maybe even fall down some, and you will always have fun.
All levels welcome.
Ashtanga
The first or primary series, called Yoga Chikitsa, which means yoga therapy, realigns the spine, detoxifies the body, and builds strength, flexibility and stamina. The series of about 75 poses beginning with sun salutations and moving on to standing poses, seated poses, inversions and backbends before relaxation. It is an invigorating practice accessible to all levels.
Samana Yoga
Samana = harmony. Samana Yoga will help integrate your practice by strengthening those hard to find abdominal muscles. We will boost the intensity by holding each pose and learning to breath while engaging the core. The entire body will benefit by gaining strength, flexibility, and muscle control. This class will build on itself so regular attendance will benefit the body most. Breakdowns and modifications will be given for the more advanced postures so it is an all levels class. The room will be around 95 degrees.
