Class Descriptions
Prepare to move and stretch your body, mind, and spirit through Hatha Vinyasa. In Sanskrit, Hatha means “force” and Vinyasa refers to a sequence of postures. This class consists of warm ups, standing, seated, and supine asanas (postures), balances, breathing exercises, form/posture alignment cues, and adjustments given upon consent. Our Hatha Vinyasa classes are for all levels and help increase flexibility, improve posture, de-stress, re-align, increase strength, stamina, and overall well-being.
Tai chi, often described as “meditation in motion”, is an ancient and beautiful martial art that enhances balance, strength, and flexibility on both the physical and mental levels. Tai Chi harmonizes the breath, physical movement, concentration, and visual focus to cultivate the inner energy or life force. The Yang style 24-form of Tai Chi, led by Richard, is the most popular form of Tai Chi worldwide. It can be learned and practiced by anyone at any fitness level—though it is necessary to be able to stand and walk. There is growing evidence that this mind-body practice has value in treating or preventing health problems, such as arthritis and chronic pain. It also reduces nervousness, while it increases the size of the intelligent forebrain! Anyone with a little experience of the 24-form is welcome.

“Our bodies know the way, we simply need to learn to listen by opening our minds to the language of sensation.” - Nia White Belt, the art of sensation
Nia, which means ‘purpose’ in Swahili, is practiced internationally with classes taught worldwide in many different languages. The acronym Non-Impact Aerobics provides a rudimentary understanding of the physical practice. However, the mnemonic device “Now I Am” reflects the practice's deeper focus on moving with purpose and choosing joy in the present moment.
Each 1 hour class is accompanied by a unique sonic landscape to help you tap in to sensation while physically conditioning the body in the practice of 52 basic moves. Classes also blend guided imagery with moments of free movement. The practice is deeply influenced by the world of jazz, modern, and Duncan dance, and balanced with the power of martial arts and the calm peace of healing arts.
Sign up today for a fun, energetic movement practice that will leave you feeling both accomplished and relaxed. Experience the magic of music and movement with Joy!
Sivananda Hatha is an older, traditional style of yoga that involves longer resting poses, in between each asana, and at the end of the class. Sivananda Hatha yoga traditionally starts with two incredibly cleansing and revitalizing breathing exercises or pranayama, a series of sun salutations, the 12 base yoga poses, and lastly ending with a 10-15 minute resting pose, or savasana (everyone’s favorite!). What makes the class wholesome and satisfying is the dance between rest, and challenge. Ease, and strength. Fluid duality.
New series starting again soon!

Restorative Yoga is the most gentle class that we offer and is especially beneficial for those experiencing physical and/or mental fatigue and burnout. Props are used generously to allow both the body and brain to fully relax in the poses. A typical restorative class has only a handful of postures in which the body is fully held and supported, so no real physical exertion is required. Our instructor is highly attentive to students, offering additional props and adjustments to support the needs of each unique body.
Pilates Mat Class
Pilates focuses on articulation of the spine and engaging the core muscles to lengthen and strengthen the body. Our instructors focus on posture, breath and proper support for the neck to help students develop muscular power and endurance without undue body fatigue or mental strain. With proper repetition of the mat class exercises, Pilates students will acquire suppleness of the body, natural coordination, and grace that will be unmistakably reflected in the way you walk, play and work. This class is open to all levels, more advanced elements can be added as needed.

Lack of flexibility could mean a few things. If you stretch all the time and nothing is changing, we should look at your form and mobility of your joints. So then it’s good to go back to the basics. Start with Alignment + Hatha, Pilates, and Nia.
