Energetic Flow Yoga (all levels)
Join us for a playfully energetic yoga practice! Energetic Flow offers a great way to release tension and recalibrate your nervous system as you transition into your evening activities.

Expect to move from floor to standing with some poses being practiced on hands and knees, seated, or reclined. All poses can be adapted to support your specific practice with a variety of pose options offered throughout the class. Breathing practices, mantra (vocal toning), mindfulness, and yogic philosophy are woven into the fabric of each class. Appropriate for the yoga dabbler to the established practitioner! Sequences can be adapted to chair or wall.

Sunset Yoga (some experience suggested)
We delve into the myriad benefits of yoga practice through basic pranayama (breathing practices); yoga sequences emphasizing alignment, breathing, and conscious movement; and reflection on yoga philosophy as it applies in our practice and in our daily lives. We strive to make each class a well-rounded session that leaves every participant feeling relaxed, renewed, and well-nourished in body, mind, and spirit. Moderate intensity; some knowledge of yoga helpful but not required.
