Baptiste Power of Yoga
Energize the body, mind and spirit: build strength and develop core control; improve posture, muscle imbalances and coordination; increase flexibility, joint mobility and agility; and enjoy a greater sense of personal empowerment.

Gentle Yoga
Incorporates yoga postures in a slow meditative and calm practice. Perfect for beginners or even experienced practitioners who wish to slow down.

Hatha Yoga
One of the most popular styles of Yoga, Hatha Yoga strives to achieve balance between body and mind, through physical poses (Asanas), breathing techniques (Pranayama), and meditation. This class will challenge you physically, improve your flexibility and strength, and help you become more relaxed.

Iyengar Yoga
Precise alignment of the muscles, bones and joints describes the main focus of Iyengar yoga. Rather than moving quickly through the poses as in the Ashtanga practice, Iyengar students take more time, and often use props to align their bodies into its ideal positioning. Poses are then held, often for many minutes.

Vinyasa Flow
Moving from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale, this technique is known as Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. Emphasis is on slow, deliberate movement and deep inner awareness. Come away calm, refreshed, focused and energized.

Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa means moving with the breath. In this class, we link poses together, beginning with more basic to increasingly challenging, going further into the sequences as the level of skill and ability progress. Includes sun salutations, standing poses, seated forward folds and inversions, in a unique & varied sequence. Not recommended for beginners.

Yin Yoga
Targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine., bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice. Suitable for all levels yet can prove challenging due to the long duration of the poses.

Yoga Fusion
Get the best of Yoga, Pilates, and conditioning in this challenging, flowing class that works your body and relaxes your mind.

Yoga Groove
A deep, grounded Asana practice that coordinates the breath to the rhythms of tribal and contemporary groove music. Combining the power of Iyengar and Ashtanga with the healing properties of ViniYoga and Vinyasa, be prepared to move and groove your way to a splendid Yoga experience!

Private Yoga
One-on-one Yoga, much like personal fitness training, is tailored to your specific needs. Each session will allow you to work privately with your instructor to create a practice that makes sense for your body and your level of experience at you own pace. To schedule an appointment please speak with your Yoga instructor. Questions? Please call 444.8096. 1-hour session - $70 members/$80 public
