Injury Recovery

This class is for all students and can be particularly helpful to those seeking relief from the pain of herniated or bulging discs; chronic muscular tension; spasms in the upper back, neck, and shoulders; tension headaches; and just general stress.

The focus of this class will be on breath, creating space by stretching into places where there is muscular tension/trapped energy, and strengthening the abdominals and lower body. If you have completed physical therapy for back pain or surgery, this class may help ease you back into your routine.

This all-level class is designed to let you explore postures that increase strength and flexibility to all the major joints, creating stability throughout the body. Whether you have minor strains, arthritis, recurring injury, or are post-PT, this class can help in sustaining your stability, endurance, and strength while helping prevent recurring injury or strain.

The focus of this class will be on breath, creating space by stretching into places where there is muscular tension/trapped energy, and strengthening the hips, knees, and shoulders.

Complete Hatha links the postures practiced in a regular Hatha class with a focus on alignment in standing, balancing, and seated postures. This practice will focus on proper alignment to avoid injury and to deepen your asana practice and perfect poses.

This all-inclusive yoga practice embraces a variety of hatha yoga styles with all the benefits of the Essential Hatha class, but in a more asana-driven format. Expect the opportunity to learn more advanced poses than you might find in an Essential Hatha class, but also find space to explore your edge to deepen your practice.

This class is recommended for those who have practiced Hatha Yoga and are interested in exploring a more form and alignment-oriented class building strength, endurance, and strong focus. All students are welcome as safe modifications, instructions, and demonstrations are always provided or available.

Essential Hatha provides a safe and supportive environment for learning the foundations of yoga. This fully guided class incorporates postures that are intended to calm the mind and breathing.

You will then be guided through poses or asanas, which are a series of movements that help improve balance, flexibility, and strength. This class concludes with a 3-5 minute savasana.

Essential Hatha offers cues on proper alignment, including multiple variations, providing you with the tools to safely practice yoga in your own unique body.

Small, slow and gentle movements and guidance are used to re-educate your brain so that you can relax and move your muscles more functionally. This class concludes with a 3-5 minute integrative savasana and offering of gratitude.

This new class is an innovative blend of Hatha Yoga, Somatic Experiencing, Pranayama (breathing techniques), and healing meditations. Somatic Hatha Yoga explores new ways of movement (called “somatic movement flows”) combined with classical hatha yoga postures/asanas.

This class begins very gently, expands to a series of fully guided, mid-tempo flows, with options to modify or intensify throughout to customize one’s personal experience with this clinically endorsed, whole-being, integrative practice.

Together, we will explore the root causes of muscular pain, learn greater nervous system resiliency, and work toward reprogramming old, outdated patterns of managing stress held deep within the body. Through these carefully cultivated, therapeutic, and corrective exercises, students can learn how to take a more active role in their whole-being wellness.
