Class Descriptions
Flow Power Yoga - Power Vinyasa:
VINYASA FLOW Vinyasa is a Sanskrit term often employed to describe a broad range of yoga styles.
Vinyasa can be decoded from its root words Nyasa denoting "to place" and vi denoting "in a special way."
It symbolizes a flowing, dynamic form of yoga, where postures are linked together using breath.
POWER BASICS: A great class for beginners, Power Basics is a Vinyasa yoga done in a warm (not hot) environment, with a slower-paced flow than Power Yoga Flow. Postures are broken down (demonstrated), and instructors lead the flow at a deliberate pace with an emphasis on alignment and breath. An interactive class, students are encouraged to ask questions and explore the postures as they are ready. A great place to start your Flow Power Yoga journey.
POWER YOGA FLOW: is a truly unique yoga practice based on intuition rather than tradition. A warm Vinyasa flow practice, Power Yoga Flow heals, detoxifies and exhilarates the body and mind with emphasis on movement, balance and intention. A great class for students who are ready to take the next step in their journey, Power Yoga Flow connects the body to the mind and spirit through intense flow and Ujjayi breathing techniques, helping students get to the "Core" of their being.
ANUSARA FLAVORED FLOW Anusara yoga is a powerful method of hatha yoga which integrates biomechanical principles of alignment with the celebration of the heart and spirit. Anusara yoga offers a dynamic synthesis of asana technique, yoga philosophy, and the celebration of good company.
BUDOKON YOGA FLOW Budokon's dynamic blend of traditional yoga asana and martial arts builds upon the practitioner's base knowledge of traditional Hatha yoga while challenging the practitioner to push past conventional yoga practices. If you love power or vinyasa flow yoga and want to see their evolutionary potential this class is for you. This class opens hips and shoulders while cultivating a powerful core.
Ashtanga yoga is a system of yoga transmitted to the modern world by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois (1915-2009). This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.
Kripalu Yoga
What to expect: Through asana, pranayama, meditation, and relaxation techniques, you'll learn to observe the sensations in the body and mind, and thereby discover how well a pose, or a life decision, is serving you. Classes can be physically demanding or extremely gentle, such as chair yoga.
What it's about: The primary objective is to awaken the flow of prana—the natural life force that will enable you to thrive in all aspects of life.
Teachers and centers: Swami Kripalu (1913-1981) was a Kundalini Yoga master who taught that all the world's wisdom traditions stem from a single universal truth, which each of us can experience directly. The main center is the Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

YIN RESTORE The essence of Yin Yoga is surrender. To balance the heat-building, blood-pumping, strengthening "yang" side of a Power Yoga Flow, Yin focuses on postures that lengthen the muscles surrounding the hips, pelvis, and lower back. Students typically hold these postures for 3-10 minutes per side in order to lengthen the connective tissue that surrounds the joints and increase its elasticity. The elasticity of our connective tissue diminishes with physical activity and aging, which makes Yin essential for injury prevention and joint health. Since a Yin Yoga practice often includes several long, seated forward bending postures, it also restores energy and calms the nervous system. Pure bliss! Students also use props and hold postures for longer periods of time to initiate deep relaxation of the body, mind and spirit. Slow Restorative Yoga is beneficial to balance a more active practice or decompress after a stressful day.
YOGA SCULPT is a total body workout designed to tone and sculpt every major muscle group. Your own body weight and/or dumbbells serve as your own personal adjuster as you move through vinyasa flow and other yoga postures, enabling extra length and depth in each pose. This intense, but easy to follow program compliments your regular yoga practice while pushing your strength and flexibility to new heights.
SLOW FLOW- slower vinyasa style class. Suitable for recovering from injury, pre/postnatal (with modifications), beginners, or those who just want a slow flow.
PRENATAL YOGA FLOW- similar to a Power Basics or Slow Flow class, but with modifications for pregnancy. Focus on poses and breath that help open and strengthen areas for all stages of pregnancy.
MOTHER & BABY YOGA Practice yoga while looking after your baby. At least 30 mins of adult yoga designed with the postpartum woman's needs in mind, 10 mins of baby yoga, parent and baby poses for relaxation, and connection with other parents
