Empower
Seventy-five or Sixty minutes of thoughtfully crafted movement meant to inspire you as well as challenge you. If you never thought yoga could be a cardio workout, think again! Empower is where solid upbeat tunes allow for yoga to meet intensity and of course, as always ends with an opportunity for stillness and meditation, but only after you’ve worked for it. This class is meant to for all skill levels since as with every class, you can go at your own pace and listen to your own intuition on what it is you need out of the experience. You are your own best teacher and we honor that. Each Contemporary Yoga experience consists of 7 stages designed in a manner to maximize the strengthening and lengthening of the lean and connective tissue in the body coupled with opportunities for digging deep, finding strength and peace within oneself. Empower offers a greater opportunity to build muscular strength and endurance than the other styles.
Grounded
Sixty minutes of basically the opposite of a Fierce class :) It has everything you want a refreshing, restorative, mindful yoga practice to be. With slowed down music, movements and a easy, relaxed vibe it’s perfect for active recovery from strength training or gently lengthening and strengthening underused, tight muscles. This is a great class for athletes and the older population as it’s predominantly grounded and moves at a slower pace. You will still have the freedom of intuitive movement, as with every class as well as an opportunity to strengthen your core and overall body. The majority of the class is reserved for Yin Yoga; longer holds to create space for connective tissue lengthening, stillness, peace within ones self and an opportunity to see what rises up… and observe.
Smooth
A style that blends both the intensity of Fierce and the restorative nature of Grounded. Seventy-five or Sixty minutes of both slow, grounding movements combined with full range of motion sequencing. This experience invokes ample time for hard work and still introspection. Its fluid, unique movements are designed in a way they can be done with your eyes closed or even blindfolded; to deepen your own practice by observing all of your senses.
Late Policy: Plan on coming 5-15 minutes early because the doors lock right when class starts. We do that for several reasons: keep light, outside noise and outside temperatures out of the room. It also takes away from each individuals experience which we take great care to cultivate, and that happens with being present for each of the 7 stages in each class. Coming in during stage 2 or 3 isn’t fair to your own experience let alone those who made it a priority to come on time. Please plan accordingly, as no refunds will be given and thank you for understanding!
