Class Descriptions
Core Connection (Virtual)
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00 a.m. - 10:00 a.m. with Bailey F.
This 60 minute class is recommended for anyone who wants to reinforce a strong personal practice. Focus will be on core connection, powerfully aligned postures with longer holds (3-5 breaths) to help find correct muscle engagement and a conscious connection to what you’re feeling in your body. Sometimes the challenge is in slowing down. We will strengthen body, mind and practice with low impact movements and asana. You can expect to end class feeling strong and balanced. Modifications will be offered and are encouraged. I love to utilize props, bring what you’ve got!
Power Flow
Tuesdays from 12:00 p.m. - 1:00 p.m. with Ruxin F. (Hybrid) and Fridays from 5:30 - 6:30 pm with Brett Alt

Yin Yoga
Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m. with Tilly S.
All levels- This 60 minute slow and mindful practice, is intended to apply moderate stress to the connective tissues allowing for increased circulation in the joints. We will hold poses for 3-6 minutes, these poses are restorative in nature. Yin Yoga is amazing for gaining flexibility and serves as an exceptional parallel to a “yang” or “Power Flow” practice. Expect to leave class with a similar feeling as if you've just received a deep tissue massage.
