CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
HOT 84
The 84 is the original and complete sequence taught by Bishnu Ghosh. This is the sequence that the 26 poses were extracted from and taught as a beginner sequence. This means for yogis familiar with the Hot 26, there will be poses you recognize… and there will be some poses you may be trying for the first time. There is an enjoyable amount of exploration, room to try new things, and have some fun. There is an opportunity to explore arm balancing, inversions, and get deeper into back bending… The class may be up to 2 hours and it is recommended that anyone who is coming has practiced hot yoga in this style. It's great to have some prior knowledge of the traditional hot practice, but you do not have to be expert level or advanced, just open minded and ready to sweat!

Hot 26
Open-eyed moving meditation. Consists of 26 set poses that work muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments via balance, strength, and flexibility. Though the sequence is the same as Bikram, our teaching approach is very different. Stillness is often practiced between poses so that students can observe what goes in within their mind and body, but also so that students can learn to use their body more efficiently by not expending any more energy than they need to. The room is heated at 104-105f to create an environment where students are challenged to find ways to support themselves. The heat also aids in the relaxing and opening up of the muscles and joints.

HOT HIIT
HOT HIIT is a low impact, high intensity workout that uses interval training to sculpt and tone your body. You will do between 1 and 8 sets of each exercise. This method of training burns the maximum amount of fat and calories during class. HIIT also creates the after effect, during which your body is still burning calories and fat after class.
Always work at your maximum with exactly the correct form. That level will be different for everyone in this room. When you find that perfect place where you are working absolutely as hard as you can, mindfully, and remain there throughout the class, you will see results very quickly.
If you do have an injury, or struggle with an exercise, please wave me over. I can give you an alternative exercise for that same muscle group during class, or we can find you one after class. There are always modifications that can be made. This class is for everyone.

Restorative
Similar to yin yoga, restorative yoga is a way to slow down and go within, giving us the opportunity to explore and restore the body on a deeper level. It is different from a typical vinyasa class in that we hold postures for long periods of time, sometimes 5-7 minutes, allowing ourselves to find our edge, ease into the pose and then go further. Restorative targets our deeper connective tissues with fascia being the main tissue explored. The goal is to achieve relaxation and restoration through very little effort. Many different props are used in order to provide structure, so that one can do less and allow for the breath to relax the body and nervous system. Gentle and healing. Less effort and more ease.

Yin Yoga
Yin represents the feminine aspect of our being: receptive, reflective, introspective, and cooling. Yin yoga was developed to penetrate deep into connective tissue expanding flexibility and aiding healing while stimulating the body’s energy centers to loosen energetic blockages and increase energy flow. You can expect a relaxing, meditative, and slow paced practice holding postures for 3-5 minutes. Classes may include guided meditations and sound healing in the beginning or end of class.

Yoga Trapeze® |
The Yoga Trapeze is a suspension yoga system used to relieve back pain and reduce stress, while building strength, balance and flexibility in ways that traditional yoga cannot. This type of yoga is a fusion of regular yoga and aerial acrobatics done in a suspended aerial silk hammock designed to deepen stretches. Aerial yoga allows the body to reap the benefits of inversions without strain to the neck or the joints of the body. This class is geared towards beginners- but we're hoping to add more classes in the future to accommodate people who hope to advance their aerial practice! Our goal with each class is to find flow, comfort, and trust. With each class you will begin creating strength, flexibility, and balance to prepare for more advanced poses. We use the hammock to support your body as you lengthen your spine, open your shoulders and hips, and allow your body to decompress. Beyond all of these benefits... it's really fun! Come soar with us!
