YOGA CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

A class of exploration for syncing movement and breath. We will uncover the magic of non-sequenced flow, and how the wide array of postures linked with pranayama will help support and build a strong mind, body and heart. Each class will be a different experience based on your teacher’s creative choice and background to bring you to new depths and your edge on that particular day. Vinyasa yoga is an opportunity to challenge yourself while accessing a non-traditional flow and the way in which you show up on your mat. How we do one thing is how we do everything. We can’t wait to meet you on your mat, and see where our movement takes us. Everyone is welcome to this class. It will meet you wherever you are in your own personal practice.

“Robust Repose, Dynamic Solace, Energetic Tonic” - Amber Rotar

“Movement steeped in breath + strength” - Jennifer Mehalko

“A class that is always slightly different and inspired by what I am working through in my own life and personal practice. Each class is like a fingerprint, unique and different… just like us. My goal is to link body, breath and mind together in order for us to take our practice even deeper while having a good time within community.” - Kate W. Mak

The class is a beautiful balance starting with a steady practice matching movement and breath, heart with lungs. Your teacher will create a fluid unique sequence with a primary focus on generating internal heat through breath, sun salutations, balance, and strength. Once you are warm, muscles primed, you will transition into a sweet surrender of restorative yoga postures and the use of props to allow your mind and body to unwind. All levels welcome.

Start your day with awareness, movement, and breath with this vinyasa based practice. This class will get your heart pumping, while working with your body post sleep. An energetic practice that blends sweat, strength and flexibility in a class that thoroughly tones the body and disciplines the mind. Open to all levels.

“A slow, sacred, rhythmic start to the day. Focus is on alignment and breath and deep, intimate self love.” Jamie Cameron

In this slowed down class, we have brought focus to alignment. The teacher will offer the building blocks with modifications/alternatives for sun salutations so you will have confidence to head into our Vinyasa Flow while still giving you a challenge. You will get all the benefits of our flow class, but at a pace to deepen your knowledge, and foundation of the postures. You will be guided through a variety of traditional and non-traditional yoga movements to develop functional ranges of motion and a deeper sense of body awareness. Detailed cuing, creative sequencing and props will help you discover new possibilities of movement. All levels welcome. This is a great class if you are nervous to jump into a Vinyasa Class or are dealing with any physical injury that would prevent you from feeling confident in downward facing dog, or sun salutations.

“Alignment based vinyasa. Slow and steady movement with a focus on developing structure and alignment in the body. Develop a strong foundation in your poses to build strength and flexibility.” Adriana Britton

“A smooth flowing, strength building and stamina testing practice. Strong focus on postural alignment, with meditation and breath work components.” Jamie Cameron

Wednesday Night Yoga Club... like going to The Club, without going to The Club. Come with an open mind and take a journey through music & movement. We flow to a strong vinyasa practice, turn it up loud and open our hearts to the teachers’ music genre of choice. From rap to soul, house to funk, alternative to classics.. if you’re looking for a non traditional high vibe music based movement class, WNYC is for you. Everyone is ALWAYS welcome.

A movement based class focused on traditional and non-traditional yoga postures and vinyasa.  Using breath-work, repetition, flows sequences, and fluid movement to access strength and power from a place of vulnerability and authenticity. Inspired by the many different styles of yoga, power, kundalini, hatha, as well as meditation, and mindfulness. This is a physical class, used to create attention to the body and fatigue to connect into our processes and habits.  Open to everyone. 

This class is a blend between long held held yin stretches, and more supportive restorative poses to ease the mind and body. Poses will be held between 3 and 5 minutes, while your teacher guides you through mindfulness and relaxation techniques. This is a great class to balance a more active yoga practice or simply unwind after a long day. All levels welcome.

"What I love about the restorative practice is the ability to slow down in asanas to really feel their effect on the body. The use of props helps to encourage the body to naturally release tension while helping to develop new mind body connections. With long holds, there's an opportunity to really process all the sensations that can come up in a pose. For me this is one of the more meditative practices that fosters the mindfulness that yoga is ultimately designed to cultivate.” Alfred Sia Lu

A gentle practice that still creates a chance to challenge the bodies patterning and develop a slower practice that focuses on the connective tissue and deeper tissues in the body. Main focus is brought to the hips, back, shoulders and creating longer slower holds to allow the body to open in process. Everyone welcome.

Critical Alignment Therapy (CAT) is a highly effective yoga-based method known to reduce back, shoulder and hip pain and stiffness whether caused by injury, postural issues or habitual movement patterns. CAT uses an integrated mind-body approach that explores linked movement chains in the body through specialized exercises designed to release tension and strain and improve functional movement. Using specialized props, conscious breathing, and slow-moving exercises, CAT can help you move better and feel better.

A somatic-informed practice rooted in flow yoga, infused with therapeutic movement, cathartic release, and powerful breathwork. This class is crafted to help you reconnect with your body, audit your perceptions, recalibrate your state, and embody your true, unique self.

This class holds two parts, yoga and rollax, our mobility practice. We start class with a mindful, gentle flow to warm up and tune into the body. Following that, we spend the majority of class working with the mobility ball, roller and supportive props to work into some of the bigger muscles of the body mixed with restorative postures and stretches. This class is accessible and inclusive to all bodies - it’s a great addition to all types of routines, from athletic recovery to a restorative practice. Bring your requests and openness to experience, we’ll bring the rollers, props and tunes. Everyone welcome.
