Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga is a way to exercise your mind, body and spirit.
It enables you to reach a higher state of awareness, emotional stability and strength by using several techniques.
These include pranayama (breathing exercises), kriyas (exercise sets), meditation, bhandas (body locks), mudras (gestures), mantras (chanting words) and visualization.
These Kundalini Yoga techniques raise the apana (energy you give out) to connect to the prana (energy you take in) in order to align your chakras (points of energy centers.)
This allows you to reach a higher consciousness and understanding, while being fit and healthy.
Appropriate for all levels of experience.
Meditation
Begin your Thursday with 45 minutes of mindfulness practice—beginning with some mindful movement and followed by a longer sitting practice. This group is led by Jeanne Ann Whittington and other regular group participants. It’s fine to come dressed in your work clothes, or in yoga clothes. There is no fee for the meditation group, but donations are accepted, which are given to local non-profit organizations as decided by members of the group.
This group is currently being offered online only.
Power Yoga
Power yoga is a fast-paced style of yoga that helps build strength, flexibility, and endurance.
It focuses on flowing from one pose to the next, with one breath per movement.
This type of yoga lets you sweat, helping detox your body and improving your fitness.

Restorative Yoga
In this class you will find a gentle and passive practice that creates space for relaxation and healing in your body and mind.
Long held poses emphasize stillness, comfort and deep breathing.
The intention is to tap into your parasympathetic nervous system, which is often called your "rest and digest" state.

This class is appropriate for all levels of experience.
Yin Yoga (wicked good stretching)
Enjoy the quiet and meditative practice of Yin Yoga.
This class combines guided breathing with long held passive poses to nourish and realign our vital energy while calming and balancing our mind and body. While many Yang exercises and yoga classes focus on muscles, Yin targets our deep connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, joints and bones. It also provides a wonderful compliment to the many Yang (busy/moving) activities we experience in our daily lives.
Some of the many benefits of a Yin practice include:
improved flexibility, reduced stress and anxiety, aided digestion, increased circulation and improved joint mobility and the list goes on………
This class is appropriate for all levels of experience.
Yin Yoga for the Chakras
Dive deeply into one Chakra each week, beginning at our root and working our way up.
Enjoy the benefits of Yin Yoga with long held poses to target deep connective tissues- working into fascia, ligaments and tendons, joints and bone.
This practice rovides balance and a break from our Yang dominant lives (in which we are constantly on the move and needing to be productive) as we slooow down, soften, and connect with deeper inner parts of ourselves.
Chakra, meaning "wheel", refers to a spinning energy point in our bodies, of which there are 7 main points that run along the spine.
Asanas (poses) and guided meditations will be concentrated on a particular Chakra, with the intention of balancing, strengthening, and supporting your Chakra energy system.
Lainie weaves energy work love throughout the class to provide further support and care to the subtle energy bodies.
Appropriate for all levels of experience.
Yoga for Strength
Connect your mind and body through this fun, engaging and strength building yoga class.
Focused around yoga postures and functional movement this class will build strength in your upper body, core and legs while increasing power, flexibility and clarity.
A strong core strengthens the muscles that stabilize and support your back, hips and shoulders, promoting better posture and balance.
Join us for this high intensity class where all levels are welcome, modifications are offered.
Yoga Flow
These energetic and creative classes move students through a series of asanas (yoga postures) during which you will experience a sense of fluid physical motion synced with mindful breath.
This continuous flow of movement and breath generates a meditative state, encouraging students to let go of thought and focus on experience of the present moment.
This class moves at a faster pace than our All Levels, but feel free to show up just as you are and go at your own pace.
Yoga Nidra
Yoga Nidra is a form of guided meditation also known as "yogic sleep", or effortless relaxation.
The practice draws our attention inwards and we learn to be between the states of wakefulness and sleep,
where our body finds its natural state of equilibrium.
Yoga Nidra can take us effortlessly into a state of harmonious, restful being.
From here we can heal, restore and awaken.
It can be beneficial to all, but especially to those suffering from insomnia, trauma, anxiety & depression.
Suitable for all levels of experience.
