Bloom Fusion- Blends the introspective nature of Yin Yoga, the strengthening benefits of a flow sequence, and the healing qualities of Restorative Yoga. The weaving of these three styles of yoga help create a space for you to go deeper into your own personal experiences, provide support for you to reduce stress, foster mental and physical healing and wellbeing, and bring the body and mind into balance. The class begins with 15 minutes of Yin Yoga, 30 minutes of Flow Yoga, and concludes with 15 minutes of Restorative Yoga followed by a supported savasana. This is an All Levels class.

Blooming Bellies – A comprehensive Prenatal Yoga class to prepare women physically, mentally, and emotionally for the natural process of childbirth and motherhood. Classes increase strength, stamina, flexibility, as well as breath and body awareness while relieving the common discomforts often experienced during pregnancy. Each class concludes with 10 minutes of Yoga Nidra – a deeply transcendental form of relaxation with the potential to remove tensions and worries embedded deep in the mind concerning labor and delivery. Prenatal students should check with their physician before beginning this practice if they are experiencing any complications/concerns with their pregnancy. Blooming Bellies is a beautiful way to Bloom into motherhood.

Chair Yoga- A gentle, yet invigorating form of yoga offering students the chance to improve strength, flexibility, circulation, and overall relaxation.  Students of all ages and levels will get to know many kinds of yoga postures and breathing techniques all while sitting or standing with the support of a chair.  While poses are adaptations of Hatha Yoga, complicated and strenuous movements are not a part of this class.  Chair Yoga can help prevent muscle loss, improve joint stability, and diminish pain and stiffness for those not otherwise able to participate in more strenuous physical activities.  Each 60 minute class generally begins with gentle stretching and relaxation, transitions into posture and breathing practice, and concludes with a centering meditation and cool down period. Students can expect to feel rejuvenated, empowered, and grounded after each class.  * Please note: Our studio is located on the second floor so students must use the stairs in order to access this class.

Gentle Yoga-  An all levels class where students explore basic yoga postures and breathing techniques in a stress-free, non-competitive, and supportive environment.  Classes flow at a relaxed pace.  Movements are slow but deliberate, and stretching is emphasized.  Gentle Yoga is an invitation to relax, breathe, feel, and let go.   It embraces the consciousness of moment-to-moment awareness and calms the mind.  This practice supports the immune system, offers comfort to muscles, joints, and bones, and enhances overall feelings of health and wellbeing.  Each student is accommodated where they are.  Stability and balance are facilitated through the use of support props and individual student attention. No prior experience is necessary. * Please note: Our studio is located on the second floor so students must use the stairs to access this class.
