Hatha
Class begins with a gentle warm up of the joints and muscles leading into standing postures. The standing postures are held longer to increase stamina , strength, and muscle tone. This class is lighter on the joints than a vinyasa class as there is less weight bearing postures and does not include sun salutations. This class ends with stretches to compliment your practice , meditation and relaxation.

Hip Opening Class
This class is dedicated to opening your hips. This is a slow paced class opened to all levels. This class is all stretch with no weight bearing postures. Allowing the hips to open alleviates back pain, improves circulation, flexibility and range of movement in the hips, legs and back and reduces stress. This is a great class to open up and release the stress we hold in our hips.

Gentle Yoga & Heart Opening Meditation
This class will include Gentle Yoga ending with guided meditation based on heart opening and self acceptance.
We’ll open our practice with gentle movement focusing on loosening our joints and opening our hearts. Creating space and unblocking pathways in order to receive light and grace.
We’ll then drop into breath work and a guided gratitude meditation.
Practicing gratitude opens our awareness to everything that’s going well in the present moment and allows us to negate stagnant energy.

Yin
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with seated or supine postures that are held for longer periods of time using support from props. Yin Yoga not only helps you to stretch and lengthen the muscles and tissues, it also teaches you how to breathe through the stretch and sit with your thoughts.

I enjoy teaching anatomy based alignment and also enjoy teaching creative vinyasa flow. Yoga has been a very big part of my life for many years, I thank Pamela Shannon for her constant encouragement to pursue teaching in the early 2000's. I always wanted to have my own studio in order to create a community and share my love and knowledge in yoga. I'm very excited to have a studio in my home town of East Northport.
