class descriptions.
In each class, expect a combination of functional fitness, developmental movement patterns, and somatic practices to be included to ensure your body and mind are fully prepared at a nervous system level for the class you are about to experience. Lessons are methodically composed and delivered in a clean, clear manner with a wee bit of dry humor when possible. You are always encouraged to honor how you are feeling at the time of the class. You are welcomed to customize the experience as you deem necessary. All classes include a variety of equipment and approaches to consistently and continuously keep your body and mind engaged with the class. Please give yourself permission in these classes to celebrate the beauty of movement in a lighthearted and energetic way that allows you to walk proudly through the rest of your day. Please note these descriptions are of all classes I can teach and likely include descriptions not currently on my regular schedule.
yoga.
In an all-levels yoga class, you will be encouraged to discover new pathways and micro-movements within your personal practice. Expect a methodically timed class that allows space for self-study by exploring postures and breath.
In power yoga, expect a playful environment of creative sequences focused on strengthening the body. Be prepared to try new things with pops of skill building in-between flowing through movement. Each class ends with slow and finishing sequences to challenge the body in various ways throughout our practice.
In flow yoga, you can expect a steady build up to a long, flowing sequence that moves the body through a full range of motion. Each class consists of several sequences built through a lens of functional movement, experiential anatomy, and somatic practices.
My 75-minute power flow yoga class is one of my favorites to teach! We heat things up in the first 40-minutes with strength based sequences then we ride all that heat we build for the last 35-minutes with full body flows that include bigger movement and deeper stretches.
Yin yoga classes are composed of approximately a dozen postures that can seamlessly be strung together. All yin classes start with self-regulation practices and a gentle, flow based warm-up to prepare the mind and body. You are encouraged to explore micro movements as a way to help the body and mind settle.
