Weekly Class Descriptions:

Tai Chi Chih: All Levels

Tai Chi was founded by Chang Seng Feng, a 13th century Qigong Master. Tai Chi was created to blend the meditative movements of qigong with martial arts defensive moves. This class will explore Tai Chi Chih, a short form version of the exercise, which involves relaxed, meditative movement of the arms and legs. Tai Chi will help improve balance, harmony, strengthen bones, and overall wellness.

Supreme Qigong: All Levels

Qigong, pronounced "chee-gung," is a 5,000 year old self-healing exercise consisting of meditative movements with focused breathing. Qigong is literally the "discipline of qi." Regular practice of qigong will reduce stress, increase metabolism, reduce arthritis pain, and create a more peaceful state of well being. Like Dr. Oz says, "If you want to live to be 100, do Qigong!"

Community Yoga : All Levels

A Beginner/Level 1 yoga class that lasts for 45 minutes and is $5.00 to fit everyone's budget. We want everyone to be able to enjoy the benefits of yoga.

Beginner Yoga: Beginner/Level 1.

This is a basic class that offers the student a way to try out yoga in a class meant for those new to the practice. Learn about breathing techniques and gentle basic poses that stretch and tone the body and create inner focus and confidence. Poses will be broken down for easy understanding and teaching the student how to keep the body safe with proper posture and breathing techniques. This class is wonderful for those new to yoga and anyone wanting to go back to the basics.

Gentle Yoga: Restorative/Therapeutic Yoga: Beginner and up.

A relaxing and healing yoga session. Life's many demands to work and take care of others often leave little time to rest and rebuild. Give yourself the gift of balance by meeting your needs with a practice that involves minimal effort, yet yields maximum results. This class will teach you specific yoga poses that help you master the art of relaxing so you rest deeply and completely. Come and settle into a nurturing and supportive environment which effectively targets stress, fatigue, and a physical conditions such as back or neck pain.

You'll feel relaxed and rejuvenated as you revitalize your body, mind, and spirit with this gentle practice. Poses may be supported using blocks, blankets, and straps and are generally held from 1-5 minutes.

Flow Yoga: Beginner and up.

This class is welcome to a wide range of students. Modifications are offered for those new to yoga, while variations are available for experienced students with the option to go deeper and establish a personal degree of intensity. In this class we synchronize the breath as we flow through each posture. This creates awareness of mind and body that will move us into a meditative state to calm the nervous system and focus the mind. This class will leave you feeling re-balanced, revitalized, confident, and calm.

Morning Yoga Stretch: Beginner and up.

Greet the day with a good stretch! Come limber up your joints and loosen those muscles at this beginning/level 1 yoga class. We will be doing very basic physical stretches and postures to help align the back, relieve joint pain, strengthen muscles, and improve balance.

Yin Yoga for Hips and Hamstrings: Beginner and up.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with mostly seated or supine poses that are held for comparatively long periods of time, up to 5 minutes per pose is typical. Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.

Yin Yoga poses are also designed to improve the flow of qi, the subtle energy said in Chinese medicine to run through the meridian pathways of the body. Improved flow of qi is hypothesized to improve organ health, immunity, and emotional well-being. Yin Yoga is not intended as a complete practice in itself, but rather as a complementary practice to balance the effects of more active forms of yoga and exercise. Modifications for every level are available using props like bolsters and blankets during class.

Foundation Flow Yoga: Level 1 and up.

A slow yet flowing class designed to create overall toning and strengthening of the muscles and enhance spinal health while refining the foundation poses and breath work used in Hatha yoga sequence and vinyasa. Great for beginners with average flexibility, strength, and endurance and those that have completed some beginner classes and are are ready to increase core power and move a little faster. We use our session to build upon our basic knowledge of the poses by learning modifications to create more flexibility and challenge, which enhances our overall body awareness and helps cultivate confidence, inner as well as outer strength, balance, and stamina.

Core Express: Level 2 and up.

A powerful fast moving class that will energize your mind and spirit, strengthen your body and create confidence and clarity, on and off the mat. The session begins with a short warm-up, then a fast vinyasa style, breath initiated movement flow of foundation poses with modifications to create heat in the body and focus for the mind. The challenge continues with standing balance poses, core power isometrics and seated holds for abs and backs to further build endurance, strength, focus and flexibility. You will sweat, so bring a towel and your energy! Great for people that currently engage in sports/strength training or those that have completed some Foundation Flow classes, and are looking towards a stronger class for overall increased core power, stamina and some cardio. This class lasts 45 minutes and has it's own special unlimited and 10 class card pricing.

Happy Hour Yoga on Fridays: All Levels.

Start your weekend off right with Happy Hour Yoga! $5.00 Drop in rate for all.(this class only)

A joyful invigorating all levels class with upbeat music, energizing flow, and something for everyone. This is a class to try if you don't need to take every practice too seriously. Yoga is fun too! This class is only $5.00 (cash would be fabulous to save us the service charge of credit) and lasts about 45 minutes. Bring your 'get funky' attitude.
