KUNDALINI Kundalini Yoga works on the energy channels and meridians of the body, using postures, movement, breath, eye gaze, mudra, and mantra to activate pressure points within the body, enabling us to reach a higher state of consciousness and mental clarity.
Kundalini Class is “Spirit-Body Lessons” Kundalini yoga is known as the 'Yoga of Awareness'
Kundalini awakening occurs through meditation, pranayama (breathing), asanas (postures), mudras (hand gestures), bandhas (body locks) and the chanting of mantras, collectively known as a 'Kriya'. Each class is different and each Kriya is designed to have a different positive effect on your being.
Each class will include a smaller amount of asanas (postures) but with unique breath work making this class easy for beginners as well as advanced students. We will learn to identify our Dosha’s (The three energies that define every person's makeup.) and what yoga will be best to keep your dosha balanced.

YANG/YIN This class begins with setting an intention to balance the dark and light, masculine and feminine, sun and moon, hot and cold, the yang and yin energies in our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual bodies. The yoga practice will include yang style poses that are warming and strengthening. The last portion of the class will focus on yin style poses that are slower paced and longer held for deep stretching. Yin poses target the main energetic meridians in the body. Often yin poses are propped up with blankets, blocks and bolsters to allow for a deeper release for the connective tissue. This class is accessible to ALL levels.
YIN / RESTORATIVE Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with poses, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—three to five minutes or more per pose is typical. Yin Yoga works the deeper levels of the body/heart/mind: the connective tissues of the ligaments, fascia, joints and bones and the energetic channels of the meridians, nerves and blood system. Class accessible to ALL levels. This class offers restorative poses that are accessible to pregnant women.

YOGIC LIVING Yoga is the art and science of connecting the mind, body, and spirit. Often times in our Western society, we tend to think of yoga as a physical exercise. When in reality the physical practices of yoga are only one of the eight parts or limbs of a yogic life. In this weekly class, we will discuss the topics of yoga outside of asana or the poses. Things such as breath, mindfulness, meditation, yoga philosophy, and soulful living will be our focus. This class will not consist of a physical exercise but instead will be a discussion based class with [pranyama( breath work) and meditation practices weaved in. All levels welcome and street clothes are fine to wear! This class is donation based.
