Spring Yin
A Yin practice is the ideal complement to a regular Hatha Yoga practice. Poses are reclined or seated, are generally held for longer periods for a deep release, and focus on the release of connective tissues and improved circulation and flexibility.

Yoga & Self Massage
Stress, habitual movement patterns and a lifestyle that includes a lot of sitting can lead to physical tension and a general disconnect from our bodies. This class will offer techniques to ease and release that tension and help to develop a friendly curiosity toward sensation and our bodies in order to turn our focus inward to reconnect with our bodies in a healing way. No experience necessary. With this on-demand class, you can take these techniques with you wherever you go! Each week a video will be released so you can build on the previous week's principles. Videos will be available through the entire session so you can review any time you like! Participants will need a set of therapy balls or 2 tennis balls in a long sock.

Yoga for Menopause Support
As we age and our hormones change, our bodies transition. That can feel as though we've lost connection with and agency over our bodies. This class will focus on addressing two key impacts of menopause, loss of muscle mass and a likely increase in stress hormones. As we approach and move through menopause, the natural drop in estrogen levels results in a loss of muscle mass, leading to less efficient calorie burning which, in turn makes it harder to maintain weight levels. The resultant loss of strength can lead to joint pain and balance issues. We'll work to maintain and re-build muscle mass through strengthening with a focus on weight-bearing and resistance, each student moving at their individual pace. Another key factor for many women is the rise in cortisol and other stress hormones which can lead to sleep disruption and contribute to the increase of body fat, which can contribute to an increase in blood pressure and heart disease. Through breathing techniques and other practices, we will work to maintain or reclaim healthier sleep patterns and reduce stress and anxiety, moving toward an overall sense of well-being.

Gentle Yoga
Appropriate for students who have yoga experience, but need or want a gentler approach to their practice. Students are encouraged to embrace and challenge their practice wherever they are. Poses in this class will be adjusted to accommodate each students' current phase of wellness. Chairs and additional props will ease students into the Yoga practice that is right for them. Pre-requisite: completion of Gentle Beginner 1 & 2 or equivalent.

Yoga 2 (Intermediate 1)
Students will further explore and refine the poses learned in Yoga 1 & Yoga 1/2. Additional seated poses, simple back bends, shoulder stand and more challenging standing and balance poses will be developed in this class. One session of Level 1 and Level 1/2 is recommended prior to taking this class to ensure a foundation practice has been established and students are comfortable adjusting poses for their particular body and experience level. Students will have the opportunity to explore at their own pace and comfort level, guided by their instructor. The overall curriculum of Yoga 2 is spread out over multiple sessions to allow for an in depth study of a particular series of poses. Experience required.
