Hatha Yoga

A classic approach to yoga that emphasizes physical detail and focus. An accessible way to learn the basic postures and breathing techniques of yoga while restoring your energy, strength and flexibility. This is a great class for beginner and intermediate students.

Stress Relief Yoga

Relax, re-balance, and rejuvenate with this stress-relieving yoga class. Reduce muscular tension and tightness with various asanas (postures) that target stress-prone areas such as the hips, back, shoulders, and neck. Alternating between static and dynamic postures, we observe how our bodies move, becoming more aware of where tension is held and learning to release it. Breathing techniques (pranayama) are practiced to help activate the ‘relaxation response’ and bring the body’s systems back into balance. Experience the peace and calm of guided meditation at the end of every class, emerging refreshed and renewed, and ready to take on the rest of your day! This class is suitable for all levels.

Kripalu Yoga

A class for your body, your mind and your spirit. Destress and refresh your body as you stretch and tone your muscles releasing chronic tension. Calm restless thoughts and cultivate your concentration while supporting mental clarity and confidence. Encourage self-acceptance, honor wisdom and invite deep peace. Classes beigin with warm-up movements and breath awareness to prepare you for the yoga postures. The heart of each class is a sequence of postures that stretch, strengthen and balance your body. Each class ends with deep relaxation and meditation.

Vinyasa Yoga

In this yoga practice each posture is linked in a continuous flow.  Moving from posture to posture can increase your cardiovascular fitness while some dynamic postures are held to help build strength and flexibility. Emphasis will be made on uniting movements with the breath to increase benefits of your practice. This class is suitable for all levels.

Gentle Yoga

Similar to Hatha Yoga, this type of yoga is appropriate for beginners and the older population. It focuses on breath work and sustained postures to enhance your flexibility. You will feel energized, rejuvenated and supple.

Yin Yoga

Yoga as practiced in North America is almost exclusively Yang or muscular in nature. The Yin aspect of Yoga uses long-held relaxed floor postures to stretch and stimulate the "Yin" or deep connective tissues of the body.  The two major differences between a Yin and a Yang Yoga practice are that Yin postures should be done with the muscles relaxed and should be held a longer time. This is because connective tissue does not stretch like muscle and will not respond well to brief stresses. This gentle practice will increase your flexibility, opening your hips, lower back and shoulders and will enhance your overall sense of well-being.

SomaYog (Yoga For The Lower Spine & Pelvis)

Soma Yoga (Somayog) is a gentle and quiet practice, which connects the breath with the arch and tilt of the pelvis. The postures are designed to soften and deepen muscle tissue and to awaken the body's natural structural alignment and movement (sounds like Chiropractic!). Great for all levels!

Pilates

Pilates focuses on strengthening of the core muscles of the body. Pilates enhances body alignment, and strengthens the abdominals, back and stabilizer muscles. The postures and exercises stretch, strengthen and relax the body. When modified, Pilates is gentle enough for pregnant women, yet challenging enough for advanced exercisers. It incorporates exercises that target your abdominals, back and legs, making your body strong and flexible. Pilates enhances flexibility, posture and strength.

Yogilates

A combination of Yoga and Pilates, this form of exercise incorporates strengthening of the core muscles and stretching of the entire body. Yogilates will challenge your balance, strength, and flexibility. The instructor will lead the class through a series of floor exercises incorporating both mat work exercises from Pilates and yoga poses to warm up the body and prepare the student for more challenging standing work later in the class. Classes end traditionally with deep relaxation and meditation.

Kids' Yoga (5-8 yrs) (9-14 yrs)

Children are encouraged to explore and discover the mind and body in a fun-filled way! Kids' Yoga is a fun, creative approach to yoga that can be very helpful for children whose bodies are still developing. The use of animated poses and basic stretching exercises promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and visualization techniques teach kids how to focus, relax and develop self-control. Kids will improve concentration and focus, stimulate their imagination and help to release energy in a fun, safe environment. Using interactive games and animated postures, kids learn about animals, nature and basic anatomy through yoga. The LiveWell Kids' Yoga program also promotes inner-strength, confidence and self-esteem; a feeling of well-being and respect for others; and, love for one's self, inside and out.

Prenatal Yoga

Inside you is an innate wisdom that intuitively understands about the very natural process of birth. We help you reconnect with this wisdom, guiding you through a class specifically designed for the journey of pregnancy. Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body and spirit, and also the spirit of your baby. The program, conducted in a calm, peaceful environment will help strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, improve circulation, aid in digestion, exercise the spine and increase overall comfort. Yoga can also alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica. A safe, open community allows you to freely discuss any issues, from discomforts and concerns, to the wonderful new changes your body and baby are experiencing.
