Yoga for Mobility
Yoga for Mobility is a specialized class designed to improve flexibility, range of motion, and overall mobility in the body.
This class focuses on gentle movements, stretches, and poses specifically curated to enhance joint mobility, relieve stiffness, and increase freedom of movement.
​
During the class, participants will be guided through a series of yoga postures that target key areas of the body known for contributing to mobility issues, such as the hips, shoulders, spine, and hamstrings. Emphasis is placed on proper alignment, mindful breathing, and gradual progression to prevent injury and promote safe stretching.
​
The instructor may incorporate props such as yoga blocks, straps, or bolsters to support students in achieving deeper stretches and greater range of motion. Each pose is held for a moderate duration, allowing participants to fully relax into the stretch and release tension stored in the muscles and connective tissues.
​
This class is suitable for individuals of all fitness levels, including beginners and those with limited mobility or flexibility. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with stiffness from sitting at a desk all day, or simply looking to improve your overall range of motion, Yoga for Mobility offers a nurturing and supportive environment to help you move with greater ease and freedom in your daily life.

Therapeutic Yoga
Therapeutic Yoga is a specialized class designed to promote rehabilitation, physical strength and flexibility by concentrating on a specific area, such as the shoulders, hips, lower back, neck, knees, or wrists.
​
Each month, the class will focus on a different body part or system, providing targeted stretches, strengthening exercises, and relaxation techniques to support healing and improve functionality. The class is suitable for individuals of all fitness levels, including those recovering from injuries, managing chronic conditions, or seeking a more focused practice.
The class emphasizes slow, deliberate movements and poses that are accessible and safe for all participants. Modifications and props, such as blocks, straps, and bolsters, are used to accommodate individual needs and ensure proper alignment.​ Each class includes a brief educational segment where the instructor provides information about the targeted body part, common issues, and tips for maintaining health and wellness outside of class.
Whether you're looking to address specific health concerns or simply enhance your overall well-being, this class provides a gentle yet effective approach to healing and self-care.

Gentle Yoga
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.
