Classes for Beginners

Our Gentle Yoga class focuses on slow, soothing and simple yoga postures. 

 

It is designed to be accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels, including beginners, seniors, or individuals with limited mobility or physical ailments.

Poses are modified to be easier on the body, with an emphasis on proper alignment and gentle stretching rather than intense physical exertion. This allows practitioners to improve flexibility, strength, and balance gradually, without straining their muscles or joints.

​

In addition to physical benefits, gentle yoga also offers mental and emotional benefits, such as stress relief, improved mood, and a greater sense of inner peace and harmony. It can be a wonderful practice for those seeking a gentle way to stay active, reduce tension, and cultivate a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Hatha yoga serves as a foundation for other styles of yoga and can be practiced by individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

 

It is a traditional style of yoga that focuses on physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation to achieve harmony between the body and mind. In Hatha yoga, students move through a series of poses, holding each pose for a period of time while focusing on proper alignment, breathing, and awareness of sensations within the body. These postures range from gentle stretches to more challenging poses, catering to practitioners of all levels of experience and physical ability.

 

Depending on the instructor, various breathing techniques or mindfulness meditations may be used to deepen the breath, calm the mind, and channel energy throughout the body. By synchronizing movement with breath, practitioners can enhance their physical and mental well-being, improve concentration, and reduce stress. Through guided meditation or mindfulness techniques, practitioners can develop greater self-awareness, emotional balance, and spiritual connection.

​

Overall, Hatha yoga offers a holistic approach to health and wellness, promoting physical strength, flexibility, and vitality, as well as mental clarity, emotional stability, and spiritual growth.

Vinyasa yoga is a dynamic and flowing style of yoga that synchronizes movement with breath.

​

In a vinyasa yoga class, practitioners move through a series of poses in a flowing manner, guided by the rhythm of their breath. Each movement is linked with either an inhale or an exhale, creating a seamless transition between poses. The pace of the class can vary, but it generally flows at a moderate intensity, providing both a physical workout and a moving meditation.

​

Vinyasa sequences are creatively designed by the instructor, allowing for a diverse range of poses and transitions. Sun salutations are often incorporated as a foundational sequence, serving as a warm-up and connecting thread throughout the practice. Other common elements include standing poses, balancing poses and twists.

 

Students are encouraged to stay present with their breath and body sensations, cultivating a deep sense of awareness and concentration. This mindful approach not only enhances the physical benefits of the practice but also promotes stress reduction, mental clarity, and inner peace.

​

Vinyasa yoga is suitable for practitioners of all levels, as modifications and variations of poses are offered to accommodate different bodies and abilities. It offers a challenging yet accessible practice that allows individuals to build strength, flexibility, and balance while cultivating a deeper connection to themselves and the present moment.
