  Hatha vinyasa:

This class is a traditional yoga practice, that includes a seated mediation, light stretching, a strong mid standing section and a very relaxing guided sound healing savasana.

Vinyasa classes coordinate breath and movement, encouraging you to look within and to go deep into the body and the mind. These classes are slow and strong all at the same time and will leave you feeling energized and light for the day.

 

 Mandala Flow:

This class is a strong vinyasa class, linking breath and movement to steady the mind and achieve a stronger, happier body. Like mandalas that are round and symmetrical, our physical practice will flow all around the mat. This class is still available to new students but is slightly more challenging and dynamic. Modifications are always offered to accommodate different levels and has an emphasis on moving the body and mindfulness. If you like to sweat, this class is for you. You will come out of the class feeling strong, stretched and relaxed.

While the Yin part of the practice concentrates on deepening into the

connective tissues to activate change, the restorative part supports the body
