“The yoga pose is not the goal. Becoming flexible is not the goal. Standing on your hands is not the goal. The goal is serenity. Balance. Truly finding peace in your own skin.”
–Rachel Brathen
MONDAY
5:30-6:30pm: Fluid Flow with Kari*
Kari’s Fluid Flow class is geared towards those who have prior yoga experience. Based on vinyasa yoga, Kari’s classes focus on linking breath and movement in order to align the body and mind. These classes will include longer flows, fun sequencing, and often more complex poses and variations. No two classes will ever be the same!
TUESDAY
5:30-6:30pm: Slow Flow with Kari Ann
Join me as we slow down with this gentle feel-good flow! We will focus on our breathing as we aim to relax the nervous system. Moving mindfully through a gentle practice to help build strength, increase flexibility and bring balance to the mind and body. Closing with a short guided meditation and a long savasana, a time for quiet and integration. This practice is accessible to yogi’s of all levels, especially beginners.
WEDNESDAY
5:30-6:30pm: Let’s Get Moving with Ashtanga Yoga with Karen*
This class builds strength and stamina and increases flexibility and balance. Enjoy 60 minutes of yoga with Karen. This is a modified primary series suitable for students who have some experience, those who want to move to the next level, as well as beginners. A modified primary series of Ashtanga Yoga rivals a work out at the gym, but leaves you feeling relaxed and energetic. The series begins with Sun Salutations as a warm up, working through full body stretches, and ends with Savasana. This is your opportunity to prioritize yourself and work towards a new level of fitness in an accepting, fun environment. Let’s do this TOGETHER!
7:00-8:15pm: Yin Yoga with Reiki and Sound Healing with Angie
This practice is a more meditative approach to yoga. It combines long, but supported yoga stretches that teach us how to sit and breathe through life’s challenges. All postures are done on the floor with props to support them. Each pose is held for several minutes, stretching the connective tissue in the joints. During the class, the teacher will move from person to person offering Reiki. (You can always opt out of the reiki portion if you do not want to be touched) Expect a long savasana or yoga nidra with sound healing. Sound healing is a vibrational clearing through the harmonics of singing bowls, a gong, and other instruments. This is a restorative release for mind, body, and soul!
THURSDAY
5:30-6:30pm: Alignment Flow with Kari
A bit of alignment, a bit more flow. We’ll move and breathe, taking time to pause and adjust. Longer holds in poses are complemented by active alignment cues. If you are curious about what your body is actually doing in each yoga pose, this class is for you!
This class is suitable for students newer to yoga as well as experienced students interested in a lower intensity flow.
SATURDAY
9:00am-10:00am: Saturday Yin Yang Morning Wake up with Lori
We will begin class by finding our edge, dropping into our breath in gently held poses, and stimulating deep connective tissue. As the body opens up we will transition to more dynamic moving poses, marrying our breath with movement. This practice will help balance our mind, body and spirit to start our day.
