"Relax & Renew" Restorative Yoga (all levels)
Taking time out each day to relax and rejuvenate is essential to well being. This nurturing yoga practice focuses on restorative postures designed to gently stretch and rehabilitate the muscles and joints. Coupled with deep breath work, "Relax and Renew" soothes the nervous system and quiets the mind.
Gentle Yoga (all levels)
Gentle Yoga is a class suited for ALL LEVELS of experience. Beginners and experienced practitioners can expect gentle stretching, basic yoga postures, informative instruction on the use of props and breath work.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga (experience recommended)
This popular evolving style of yoga is a breath inspired journey combining
fluid movement and total body awareness. Centered around the classic Sun Salutation, each Flow Yoga class is an experience of cleansing the body
and recharging it with vital energy by linking together invigorating standing
poses, balances, back bends, twists and inversions. This "meditation in
motion" encourages the body and the mind to expand, develop and strengthen.
Suited for students with a working knowledge of basic yoga poses and sun salutations and free from major injury.
Energy Flow – 90 minutes
(Open multi-level)
Embrace the healing power of breath as we cultivate strength, flexibility and integrity through Yoga postures.
This multi-level class designed to increase your flexibility, strength and energy, while helping you find stability (sthira), ease (sukha) and aspiration (Tantra) to deepen your practice. These classes use posture flows, as well as longer-held poses, breath work, visualization, and deep relaxation to tone the organs, relax the nervous system, quiet the mind and bring integration of body, mind and spirit.
During the 50 minutes of Vinyasa, we "flow" from pose to pose and from breath to breath. Through a mindful application of technique and integrity, we bring awareness to each movement, and accentuate it with every breath. Pose variations are offered. Flow is followed by 20 minutes of deep stretching. At the close of every class, a relaxation and renewal period nurtures the benefits of the practice.
Although all levels are welcome, previous experience is suggested.
Nia Joy of Movement Class
Nia is an empowering and energizing movement practice to develop flexibility, agility, mobility, strength, and stability while having fun and finding joy in the body you have NOW. As Christiane Northrup says, “I just love Nia! It is a total mind, body, spirit celebration.” A Nia class draws from disciplines of the martial arts, dance arts and healing arts to create an active barefoot moving meditation experience. You are invited to try a class, dance to soul stirring music and feel your mind, body, and spirit move into the universal sensation of joy! Your Nia class is adaptable for all ages and abilities and EveryBody is welcome in Nia class!
TAI CHI (Chen style) Beginner/Intermediate
The class is designed to strengthen and balance the body, clear the mind, and calm the spirit. Through awareness and a simple set of Qi Gong practices (system and methods of energy cultivation), along with basic stretching exercises, we build a foundation - learning to move in a more connected way. New sections of the form will be taught to the group each week, with individual assistance provided.
Circle Of Light Meditation with Frannie Hoffman
You are invited to experience this profound and powerful evening as Frannie authentically shares her gift of presence, assisting you in awakening your spirit and activating the spark of consciousness within. You are here to discover the limitless peace, joy and abundance that life has to offer as we join together on this journey into inner stillness.
During these sessions we learn that when we meet with our hearts, our spirits, our vulnerabilities, and our struggles, we can open up to receiving the answers from within. Frannie supports every participant through their spiritual growth with gentleness, clarity and loving kindness.
