Power Yoga is a fitness-based vinyasa practice. An offshoot of Ashtanga Yoga, it has many of the same qualities and benefits, including building internal heat, increased stamina, strength, and flexibility, cardiovascular stamina, as well as stress reduction. This is an intermediate level class; however, students will always be given three options in every group setting and are encouraged to take the options that honors their body and experience.

Open to all levels, Movement and Breath:

Vinyasa yoga connects movement with breath, meaning each inhale and exhale corresponds to a specific movement or transition. 

Flow:

*The core characteristic of Vinyasa is the fluid and continuous flow from one pose to the next, creating a dynamic and meditative practice. 

Transitions:

*The transitions between poses are crucial in Vinyasa, and they are often a key focus of the practice. 

Ujjayi Breath:

*The breathing technique commonly used in Vinyasa is Ujjayi breath, which is a controlled, ocean-like breath. 

Vinyasa Sequence:

*A common Vinyasa sequence involves poses like Plank, Chaturanga, Upward-Facing Dog, and Downward-Facing Dog, often found in Sun Salutations. 

Moving Meditation:

*Vinyasa can be seen as a form of "moving meditation," helping to focus the mind and connect body and breath. 

Benefits:

*Vinyasa yoga can help build strength, flexibility, and stamina, while also promoting mindfulness and stress reduction. 

Pace:

*While all Vinyasa classes are dynamic, there are always three options available for each movement to offer a variety of choices for each yogi to make. 

Yin Yang Yoga” is a practice that blends the two styles of Yoga into one practice — slow-paced Yin Yoga with traditional Yang Yoga (Ashtanga and Hatha). This practice aims to balance the two opposing energies in the body and bring harmony to mind and spirit. This practice is rooted in the ancient Taoist philosophy of Yin and Yang, which is based on two opposing yet complementary forces.

A powerful pairing of two different disciplines of asana (yoga postures); Yinyasa has fused the Yin style of long-held passive poses with the dynamic, yang style of Vinyasa (flow). Traditionally a Yin practice is best if done on a "cold" body and passively stretches your connective tissue to promote health of your joints and internal organs. Thus, this class will begin with Yin to open the body to more flexibility and energy flow while encouraging a more contemplative, non-reactive quality of mind.

Yang yoga is a style of yoga that places an emphasizes on strength, balance, and active stretching. The class moves with some pace, linking breath to movement to build heat and warm the muscles. In a deeper sense, yang yoga trains the practitioner to control the breath and incorporate mindful pranayama techniques. Pranayama is a collection of different types of yogic breathing practices used to influence the flow of prana in the body, to promote physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

The class will then transition to a Yin practice to open the body, increase flexibility and energy flow, all while encouraging a more contemplative, non-reactive quality of mind. Because you’re holding poses for a longer period of time than you would in other traditional types of yoga, yin yoga allows one to lengthen those rarely used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
