Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary times in a woman's life. Prenatal Yoga classes provide safe exercises designed to strengthen and relax your rapidly changing body, preparing you for a conscious childbirth and the opportunity for mother and child to bond prior to birth. Each class will have a theme designed to be uplifting and to bring awareness. We will embrace pranayama/ breathing and meditation techniques, that relax the mind, giving focus during times of stress and uncertainty. This helps a mother discover a deeper sense of peace, empowerment, as well as, lifting fears and doubt out of pregnancy and birth.
Come join the community of other women on a similar journey. All stages of pregnancy welcome.
PRIVATE YOGA PRACTICE
A private yoga practice can be arranged to accommodate your schedule. A private practice can be designed to be therapeutic in nature, addressing specific areas of pain or certain health concerns you might have working with the body as a whole to alleviate symptoms. A private practice can also be designed to deepen an existing practice, focusing on areas of weakness or bringing greater awareness and strength to an area of your practice you would like to deepen. This practice would be designed in a personal training manner, entirely focused around what you wanted to get from your practice. A private class can be arranged as a regular session, a one off, or with a specific goal in mind.

PILATES
Pilates is a body conditioning routine that seeks to build flexibility, strength, endurance and coordination. The version taught at this Studio, is a mat based class, focusing on core strengthening.

Open to all levels.
DYNAMIC RESTORATIVE YOGA
The class will focus on smaller muscle groups, strengthening through small isolated motions and repetition. It will be followed by Yin style stretching to lengthen the muscles back out, leaving you feeling relaxed, and with a greater range of motion. A slower paced class that will pay close attention to areas of poor posture, back pain, and hip issues.
Open to all levels.
YIN YOGA
Suitable for almost all levels of students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (Yang) styles of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Yin Yoga rather, works deeper to the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.
Initially, Yin Yoga may seem boring, or too slow, but it is a challenging practice with a new perspective on our asanas. We hold poses for 1 - 5 minutes and during this time the muscles respond quite differently to the intense stretch than in our other practices. It is an added challenge then, to quiet the mind!!!
You need to experience this, even just once, to really understand what Yin Yoga is all about, and open a whole new perspective on your Asana practice. The Yin class is the best way to increase your flexibility quickly, and bring greater mobility to your poses. This class is a great compliment to all other yoga classes.
Open to all levels.

YOGA’S BIGGEST LOSERS
This class is designed for those looking for a lifestyle adjustment. Yoga is a wonderful tool in helping us once again find the path back to healthful eating, caring for our bodies and de-stressing. It allows us once again to reconnect with our bodies, creating a safe, supportive and happy space in your day for only you, and this leaves us less inclined to want to over eat and fill up with non-nutritious, unhealthy foods during the rest of the day.
