Yoga
Energetic Flow Yoga (in-studio)
Join us for a playfully energetic yoga practice! Energetic Flow is a great way to release tension and recalibrate your nervous system as you transition into your evening activities. The class is a fusion of a moderate intensity, energetically paced asana practice (yoga pose sequence) and light conditioning. We wind down with deep stretches, breathing practices, mantra and mindfulness/meditation. Occasionally, we incorporate practices from Restorative & Yin Yoga, and Hanna Somatics for deep mental & muscular release.
This class is best suited to those with some prior yoga experience and familiarity with foundational pose names. Pose options are offered to support any practice. Appropriate for the yoga dabbler to the established practitioner!
*Sequences can be adapted to chair or wall. Contact the studio with questions or with special considerations for your practice.
