Core Strength Yoga: Open to all levels with a focus on developing core stability for the spine, shoulder, and pelvis.

By linking the asanas (poses) with connecting movements (vinyasas) you'll build strength simultaneously with flexibility and your body will learn to use oxygen more efficiently leading to better energy flow both on and off the mat. Lead with compassion and a sense of humor, you'll leave this class relaxed, cleansed and with a deeper self connection. Suitable for in shape beginners and those with knowledge of the poses.

experience. All categories of asanas
including headstands, shoulder stands, backbends and pranayama will be
practiced. Progressions will be offered depending on a students experience
and ability.
Alignment for Vinyasa: This class is great for students that love the continuous flow of a Vinyasa style class yet is taught at a pace that allows the student time and space to go deep into their alignment and the energetics of the postures. You will flow from one posture to the next in a safe, intergrated, embodied way. Some knowledge of yoga postures nessessary.
