Moon Salutations, called Chandra Namaskar, are a variation of the classic Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskar) and are designed to be relaxing and restorative for the body and mind. The Moon is of particular importance in Hatha Yoga as "ha" means sun and "tha" means moon. Hatha Yoga then is meant to bring unity and balance between these two opposites. While the sun it warming and invigorating, the moon is cooling and calming and these salutations are meant to celebrate and promote all that the moon has to offer.

This amazing class is great for any time of day, but is especially beneficial when performed in the evening as the series of poses is designed to calm the mind and relax every muscle in the body.

This is another addition to our slower more mellow Gentle Hatha yoga series of classes. This class is restorative and soothing and can be done by candlelight for added restorative benefits. This class can be done any time of day, but is best to do at night, before bed, or any time you need to let go of stress, let go of the outer world and go deep inside to a place of utter calm and serenity.

The 60 and 45 min. classes include Chandra Namaskar, which is a Moon Salutation and is the counterpart to the more common Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar).

One of the greatest things about yoga asana practice is its ability to open up areas of our body that carry excess tightness and tension, making us feel stiff, uncomfortable and also more prone to injury.

This 25 minute Hip Opening Flow is one of our most intense hip opening classes. First you will be lead through a few Sun Salutations to warm up the muscles, and then through lots of intense poses directed at stretching and opening your hips, one of the tightest areas of our body.

This is a calming, slower paced class where the poses are held a little longer than in a regular Power Yoga class. This class offers an amazing opportunity to really release and let go of our stress that is associated with tightness stored in the front, side and back of the hip area. This is perfect for before or after running, days when you are on your feet a lot, as a way to start or end your day, or any time you need to let go of the tension in your hips.

This class is designed to stretch and open your hips, and let go of the built up tightness and tension stored in this area. Begin with an integration series followed by several Sun Salutation A and B series to warm the muscles and prepare the body for your practice. Then move through a creative flow that incorporates many hip opening poses such as: Eagle Pose, Half Pigeon Pose, Runners Lunge, Double Pigeon Pose and more. Finally you will slow everything down with a surrender series followed by a relaxing Savasana so you can soak up the benefits of your class. The result is a more centered, more relaxed and more open you.

The 20 minute and 30 minute classes are more gentle and are perfect for the advanced beginner student.

This is a Power Yoga class that focuses on poses designed to detoxify your body. Detoxify and rinse the spine through lots of twists and other poses that release toxins from your body. Detox yoga helps with weight control, clearing your skin, and increasing your energy!
