CLASSIC YOGA CLASS FORMATS
THE "FEEL IT" SERIES - 15 MINUTES OF YOGA FOR 15 DAYS
This series is meant for those who want to stay dedicated to a Yoga practice but simply do not or cannot have time. All 15 classes which are around 15 minutes long do not have anatomical focuses but rather each have a unique theme that encourages the student to have an experience consistent with the space and story they are currently in. Classes are themed to Feel Strong, Feel Restored, Feel Energized, Feel Energized, Feel Soft, and many others. Hopefully, this makes it easy to stay the course while still having a short yet substantial practice. Enjoy!
WORK DAY WIND DOWN CLASSES
These are short and sweet practices to take at the end of your work day. Whether you've just beaten rush hour traffic, or have just removed yourself from your workspace to your yoga mat, wind down and destress from your 9-to-5 and enjoy the rest of your night feeling reset and restored. Each class is shorter than 20 minutes.
DEEP STRETCH CLASSES
These dynamic Deep Stretch practices come with mindful movements that mobilize the joints first before getting into poses that encourage a deep stretch in the muscles. Best taken on those days when you want to take things slowly but also move about quite a bit. Best taken with some props such as a block, blanket, bolster, and a strap.
BEGINNER YOGA SERIES
Beginner Yoga is perfect for those who consider themselves novices of the practice. Perhaps you have taken fewer than a dozen classes, perhaps it has been years since your first practice, perhaps this IS your first practice! Feel free to take this at your own pace.
YIN YOGA CLASSES
This slow-paced Yoga practice introduced by Paulie Zink incorporates principles of traditional Chinese medicine, with postures that are held for longer periods of time. Yin Yoga was designed to target deep connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, and joints. Despite its physical benefits being frequently argued among anatomy experts, this slower and more meditative practice is sure to give you an opportunity to turn inward as you go through deep sensations in the poses. The perfect practice for people who are always moving about and on the go. Grab all the props you can and set time to yourself to settle the body and mind in poses that help cultivate a sense of surrender.
VINYASA/FLOW CLASSES
Vinyasa or Flow classes are a style of yoga characterized by sequencing certain postures together, encouraging the student to use the inhales and exhales to move from one pose to another. These classes offer different ranges of challenges- from the easy-breezy flows to the fiery flows. One thing is guaranteed - none of these flow classes are fast. The intrinsic yogic experience comes up in between the slow and controlled poses in the sequence.
HATHA YOGA CLASSES
While the practice of Hatha Yoga traditionally encompasses a broader set of Yoga practices, this is a style of Yoga that modern practitioners would define as one that focuses on one particular posture at a time, without the sequence aspect of a Vinyasa class. And while "ha" means sun and "tha" means moon, Hatha also means will or force, and these more static posture holds are sure to encourage a mind-body-breath dialogue.
YOGA FOR A PARTICULAR TIME OF DAY OR THE YEAR (OR MONTH *WINK*)
A Yoga practice can cultivate a different response when taken at certain times of the day, month, or year. As our energy levels ebb and flow, these classes meet us where we are at whether it is first thing in the morning, the last thing at night, in the summer season, or the holiday winter season.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
Take some time to disconnect from the daily grind and allow the body and mind to recuperate. The effortless poses that this practice offers allows you to relax and rejuvenate. Ready all the props and feel supported, safe, and rested as you melt into poses for a long time.
CHAIR/WHEELCHAIR YOGA
Chair Yoga is a form of yoga therapy practice for people who are unable to participate in a traditional yoga class due to injury, aging, a disability, or preference. Chair Yoga can also be practiced in certain settings such as behind the desk at work, and certain times where practicing on the ground or on a mat is not accessible. Wheelchair Yoga is a subset of Chair Yoga in that the practitioner is in a wheelchair during the entire class. While some classes cue for movement in the lower extremities, Wheelchair Yoga aims to retain mobility and strength mostly in the upper body, which is perfect for people who need to be in a wheelchair for permanent or temporary reasons.
YOGA FOR GRIEF OR LOSS SERIES
Grief and Loss are universal events but are very personal and individual experiences. And while grief comes in different ways- whether it's a loss of a loved one, a loss of an idea, a life, or a thing that you once had, or a loss of a beloved pet - there is no cookie-cutter practice that addresses all the aspects of grief. It is for that reason that I turned this practice into a series. Grief has many different stages and phases, and our emotions and thoughts differ depending on the day. My hope is that in each class, the student feels supported and is able to utilize the movement and the breath to move energy through while keeping things honest and raw on the mat.
YOGA FOR JOY SERIES
This is a great series to take whether you are a person who is already in a joyful place or someone who wants to cultivate a sense of joyfulness. I always say joy is an expansive emotion and one cannot be joyful and not want to spread the positive energy around. Each class is active for a reason. The poses and transitions are meant to radiate energy and to uplift one's mood and state of mind. Just remember - the two most important muscles to engage in this series are the ones on the corners of your mouth. Smile!
PROP-FOCUSED YOGA
Props help make any Yoga class accessible. But they can also make any Yoga class playful and provides an opportunity to execute untraditional movements and poses. These classes were designed with the prop as the focal point so have fun, get outside your traditional Yoga comfort zone, and stay curious in your practice!
