Yoga Classes
We offer Vinyasa Yoga classes and Vinyasa Flow classes. Vinyasa Yoga classes are slower moving and offer a less vigorous flow between poses but an equal challenge of endurance, flexibility and strength to our Vinyasa Flow classes. Vinyasa Flow classes are faster moving classes, you will move with music from one pose to another. Equally challenging, but different. We have a wide variety of teachers, to get more info about what to expect in their classes, please read their bio.
Hot Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga conducted in a room heated to approximately 105 degrees and kept at roughly 40% humidity. Either 90, 75, or 60 minute class will work every muscle, tendon, ligament and joint in the body throughout the 26 postures. All levels are welcome! Drink lot of water to hydrate before the class. If you have to eat before the class, make sure that any heavy meal is at least 3 hours before the class.
Hot Vinyasa is an all levels class that will inspire the beginner and challenge those with an established practice. Be prepared to sweat, move and adventure into a deeper relationship with your body and a more profound relationship with life itself. The room is heated to 95-99 degrees. (All levels, but not recommended for brand new beginners and those who do not like the heated room.)
A powerful blend of the healing postures of Hot Yoga with the strengthening flow of Heated Vinyasa. This class balances the entire body by strengthening, opening and flushing all the anatomical systems. The sequence is thoughtfully designed for all levels and with continued practice promises to become a moving meditation. The postures have no end nor does the perfect, ultimate posture exist. Hot Yoga Flow is a yoga practice students can evolve and enjoy throughout their lifetime.
Due to new insurance requirements, we are sorry we are no longer able to offer Aerial classes.
Based on the principles of B.K.S. Iyengar, this class emphasizes attention to detail and precise alignment of postures. Poses are held longer and the use of props is encouraged to modify poses, if needed. Highly therapeutic, this technique helps to refine your poses while it trains the mind to remain alert, focused and composed.
This class is appropriate for students of all ages and levels of practice; it is also helpful for those working with injuries or sensitivities as well as for anyone feeling a little ‘stressed out’.
Yin yoga traditionally incorporates familiar poses from Hatha yoga that are used to cool the body and deepen the breath. These poses are held anywhere from 3 – 5 minutes and while there is slight tension in certain muscle groups, the focus of these poses is to bring our focus to opening the hips, creating better circulation, releasing stored emotion and unease, as well as restoring the connective tissue to its natural state all by using breath and body awareness.
Restorative yoga helps balance the sympathetic (fight or flight) and the parasympathetic (rest and digest) nervous systems through fully supported poses that allow each student to deeply relax the muscles of the body, while quieting the mind by focusing on the breath. Each restorative pose is held anywhere from 1 – 20 minutes encouraging students to ‘let go’ of any chronic tension and anxiety.
Pilates & Other Fun Classes
Pilates is a system of controlled exercises that engage the mind and condition the total body. The blend of strength and flexibility training improves posture, reduces stress and creates long, lean muscles without bulking up. Pilates takes a balanced approach so that no muscle group is overworked and the body moves as an efficient, holistic system in sport and daily activity.
A series of specific exercises executed on the mat. Hot Bodies has all the benefits of a Pilates mat class, adding the element of heat which makes this a high calorie-burning class. You will stretch deeper, get your heart rate up and work your core.
The high temperature increases blood flow and burns calories while sweating out toxins. Accessible to all levels. Prior Pilates experience is recommended.
This class will give you the abdominals of your dreams!
The Yoga Room’s Sculpt & Tone class is a blend of our Barre Fit & Pilates classes with an aerobic undertone that is fast paced and upbeat, working specific muscle groups by use of high repetition to create definition without bulk. Each teacher has a unique style that makes every class a fun challenge, helping you to build full body strength and stability with each exercise.
Please bring your mat or be prepared to rent one from us.
Our 55-minute Barre Fit™ Classes target the muscles like never before, with a mega-focus on your legs, gluts and abs. Think ballet body, as these intelligent exercises create firm, elongated muscles, a stronger and flatter abdomen, a nice butt lift, and toned upper-legs and upper-arms.
This method is one of the fastest, safest and most effective ways to re-shape your body, nipping everything in and lifting everything up. It’s low impact so it protects your joints from bouncing. AND finally, it’s challenging for all levels due to the modifications of the exercises.
Prenatal & Mommy Classes
Prenatal Yoga uses postures, breathing, and meditation to help ease pregnancy, delivery, and the after effects of birth. The classes create strength, focus, flexibility and awareness through a gentle practice designed especially for the pregnant woman’s needs. Prenatal Yoga classes provide a safe, peaceful and supportive environment for expectant mothers and are a wonderful way to connect with other mothers-to-be. Yoga helps to alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as heartburn, nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back pain and sciatica. The classes are appropriate for both new and experienced students.
Discover this safe form of exercise that can be performed throughout your entire pregnancy. Because Pilates work engages your deepest core muscles, pelvic floor, hips and spine, you will develop muscle strength and memory that will help your body recover faster post-pregnancy all while enjoying the energy and support of a group class. Post-natal Pilates helps quicken the body’s recovery process, closing the diastasis and flattening the abs so that you will be back in your pre-pregnancy jeans in no time at all.
