Deep Rest
Looking to destress and improve your wellbeing? Deep Rest is great for everyone in need of some R&R and focuses on seated & supine supportive poses that promote bodily renewal and healing. Each pose will be held for up to fifteen minutes to allow you time to settle in and release tension in your body. Yoga props such as pillows and blankets will be used to gently open chronically tight muscle groups. Your instructor will guide you in using your breath to calm your mind and relax your body. This practice serves to restore the immune system, promote the balance of the nervous system, and help you develop your own personal technique of deep relaxation.

Deep Stretch
Are you chronically stiff and uncomfortable? Deep Stretch can help you feel more at ease in your body with long-held stretches that will release tension. This practice focuses on passive floor poses combined with breathwork to strengthen your mental fortitude and open the body. Poses will be held for up to five minutes to gradually release muscle resistance until you find your edge in each pose (expect to feel a deeper stretch than in Deep Rest). This practice will focus on stretches that target connective tissues, ligaments, bones, and joints to increase your flexibility and mobility. Leave feeling longer, more limber, and seriously relaxed. Simple but effective, Deep Stretch is especially a favorite among men who experience tightness from sports or running. Please wear comfortable clothing and dress in layers.

Fascia Release
In this class you will experience relief from tension and chronic pain using myofascial release techniques before finishing with supported restorative poses to complete your relaxation experience. Fascia is the web-like layer of tissues that covers, wraps, connects, and supports your muscles, joints, and bones. These tissues need to be stretched and moved or they can become rigid and tight which can lead to other issues such as chronic pain and tension headaches. Shortening and engaging particular muscle groups before entering an opposing movement/stretch will help to access, stretch, and release fascia. These stretches are held for several breaths or minutes in order to get the most benefit. Classes will cycle through targeting specific sections of the body so that the whole body is covered each month. This relief from tension will help you feel lighter and softer so that you can flow through your life with ease. Save your spot in Fascia Release by booking today!
Weightlifting
Weightlifting is a great complement to your yoga practice and will help you build strength in a safe and fun way! Expect a brief yoga warm-up before jumping into a series of exercises using light hand weights that will target your arms, back, core, and legs. Each class will also include simple cardio movements to enhance your total-body workout. The instructor will demonstrate and explain each exercise and its proper technique to help you stay safe and make the most out of every movement! Fun music will boost your mood and carry you through the class which will finish with more yoga-style stretches.
