Mix It Up – An Active Yoga Practice | Monika | 60 mins

Props: A bath towel or blanket and you, ready to have some fun!

Yoga: Mid-Year Reboot | Quinn | 60 mins

You know how frustrating it can be to have a lagging, slow-moving phone or computer until you remember to turn it off and back on again? Sometimes a quick reboot does the trick to get things working efficiently again. With this in mind, let’s use yoga to do a mid-year human reboot of our own. This 60-minute Accessible Yoga w/ Chair class will guide you to power down and back up again. This will be a great class to get you back into yoga after some time off and is active, yet inclusive of those who may not be able to move up and down from the floor easily.

Beware of falling asleep before class is over, especially if you choose to do the meditation portion under the covers!

Yoga: Breath and Core | Becca | 60 mins

A grounding practice focused on replenishing breath and feeling into and engaging the muscles of the core.

What to expect: stabilizing poses with core work and gentle twists.

Props: one yoga block or tightly rolled-up towel, perhaps a couple of light weights.

Yoga: Vinyasa Slow Flow | Monika | 60 mins

Slow Flow yoga takes a page from another popular yoga style called Vinyasa, which means in Sanskrit “to place in a special way”. Slow flow classes include a deliberate sequence of poses done at a sustainable pace so practitioners may achieve a continuous flow while still having space to focus on alignment. This style of yoga helps build strength and increase flexibility and overall endurance.

Yoga: Accessible Chair Yoga | Quinn | 60 mins

In this accessible yoga class, you use a chair throughout practice to help support your body in the poses and feel the yoga shapes in new ways. We practice seated in the chair, standing, balancing, and seated on the floor.

If you have trouble getting on and off the floor, the first half of class should still work well for you.

The second half of class we wind down with floor postures to settle the mind for a 10 minute legs-up-the-chair savasana with guided relaxation.

There are lots of options given throughout class. Remember – advancing your yoga practice means fine-tuning your practice for your body in the moment, not achieving any certain “look” in the poses. You’re welcome to experiment as much or as little as you like, and always take pauses when you feel you’d like to.
Props: 1 sticky mat, 1 chair without wheels and preferably without arms, 1 blanket, 1 yoga block or 2 hardback books (optional – if you have tight hamstrings you may need them!)

Yoga Basics

Yoga Foundations: Starting From Scratch | Kasey | 60 mins

Starting something new – that feeling of a clean slate, a blank page – can feel refreshing. It could also feel totally daunting. We might get ahead of ourselves, thinking we should be further along or should know more than we do already. We might want to skip ahead to the finish – the part that feels most rewarding.

Props: 2 blocks, strap, blanket. Household substitutes: blocks – small boxes or thick books, strap – belt or long piece of fabric.

A great practice for a tired brain/tired eyes.

This practice explores breathing and moving with attention to the heart space — said to be the seat of compassion — and ends with a special meditation to honor our connection with all beings.

Props: 2 blocks, blanket, wall space, strap (optional)

Yoga Basics: Explore Your Upper Body “Roots” | Kasey | 60 mins

Yoga Basics: Working with Habit | Kasey | 60 mins

We all have habits, but rather than deeming them “good” or “bad”, it can be helpful to view them for what they truly are — actions we repeat due to our mental/emotional conditioning.

We’ll explore this through making subtle shifts in our posture on the mat.
