CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Hatha
This class encourages all students to work with their challenges and limitations and to focus on what the posture feels like within their own body rather than what it looks like from the outside. You will be guided through your practice with a focus on alignment and a reminder of breath, helping you get the most out of your practice.
The class starts with a gentle warm-up, followed by standing postures that increase stamina and tone muscles. The focus is on proper alignment and breath control. It ends with stretches, meditation, and relaxation exercises.
** Class is appropriate for beginners and experienced yogis
Hatha Level 2
Building on the solid foundation of basic yoga poses, Hatha 2 takes a deeper dive into the principles of alignment.
This class is geared towards students with some yoga experience who want to expand on their practice and explore more advanced poses and alignment techniques.
**Class is suitable for experienced yogis . ** Brand new to yoga, start with Hatha all levels class
Hip Opening Class
Our hip-opening class is perfect for runners, golfers, cyclists, and anyone looking to loosen up their hips and alleviate tension in their body. This class isn't a traditional chill-yin practice even though we hold the postures. The class begins with a lower-body warm-up that uses resistance bands and other repetitive exercises to get your blood flowing. Once we've warmed up, the pace slows down, allowing for maximum stretching without any weight-bearing poses.
By focusing on hip-opening exercises, this class offers a range of benefits. It can help alleviate back pain, boost circulation, improve flexibility and mobility in your hips, legs, and back, and reduce stress. Plus, it's great for releasing the tension that builds up in your hips - often called our emotional junk drawers. After experiencing these benefits, you'll likely feel a positive impact on your overall well-being!
**Class is suitable for those with some yoga knowledge or beginners with a full body awareness. **
Feel Good Flow
Feel Good Flow offers slower-paced flow sequences designed to help you clear your mind, tune into your body, and connect with your breath. The postures link together in a gradual flow. This class also emphasizes alignment, stretching, and mindfulness, which will leave you feeling relaxed, recharged, inspired, and most importantly, good!
* For those who are brand new to yoga, this class is not recommended; it is recommended to try Gentle Flow, Hatha, or Yin first.
Movement & Meditation
This class focuses on the art of meditation and breathing. We'll guide you through gentle movements and meditation techniques to help you achieve calm and balance. We aim to empower you to take charge of your mental and physical health, no matter your experience level. Through various types of meditation, such as mindful meditation, loving-kindness meditation, guided visualizations, and journaling, we hope to equip you with the tools to manage stress and anxiety and foster a positive mindset.
**Class is appropriate for beginners and experienced yogis
Grateful Flow
This class provides ample time to feel comfortable and at ease in each posture by holding the poses a bit longer than our other flow classes and guiding you through a slow flow. The focus of the session is on cultivating a sense of gratitude and awareness in the present moment, integrated with a combined yoga philosophy throughout the class. The class concludes with seated stretches, meditation, breath work, and relaxation designed to help you feel refreshed and recharged.
* For those who are brand new to yoga, this class is not recommended; it is recommended to try Gentle Flow, Hatha, or Yin first.

Owner- AnnMarie S. McBrearty E-RYT200 E-RYT500, YACEP
I grew up in East Northport and started practicing yoga in high school. Even when I moved to the city for work, I continued to study and practice yoga. In 2006, I received my 200 Hour Yoga Certificate from Yoga Works NYC after training with renowned instructors Jodie Rufty, Jenny Arthur, and Alan Finger.
In the years that followed, I began teaching yoga and honed my skills by pursuing the 500 Hour Teaching Certificate from Yoga Sutra NYC in 2010. The program was led by a team of accomplished trainers, including Guta Hedewig, Jill Cammera, Edwin Bryant, Chase Bossart, and Adrienne Burke, all of whom helped me to fine-tune my skills and develop a deeper understanding of yoga. Additionally, I have had the privilege of studying under Jason Crandell, Srivatsa Ramaswami, Rodeny Yee and Todd Norian, all of whom have been instrumental in my development as a yoga instructor.
Since returning to East Northport in 2011, I have been teaching yoga locally and privately. I am proficient in Vinyasa, Hatha, Alignment, and Classical Methods in the Krishnamacharya lineage. I take pride in my ability to teach anatomy-based alignment and creative vinyasa flow, and I am grateful to have had the support of Pamela Shannon, who encouraged me to pursue teaching in the early 2000s.
As a lifelong student and practitioner of yoga, I have always aspired to have my own studio in which I could share my love and knowledge of yoga with others. I am thrilled to finally have a studio in my hometown of East Northport, and I look forward to creating a community of like-minded individuals who are passionate about yoga and its many benefits.
