Yoga
Our Yoga classes are Hatha and Viniyoga based – we approach all of our yoga classes with trauma sensitivity and use choice to develop a positive experience for all. We incorporate asana (yoga poses), pranayama (breath practices) and meditation practices (relaxation and clarity for the mind). As well as mantra (repetition of words or chant), mudra (hand positions), and sound!
Our goal within our yoga teaching is to present it as authentically as we can, honouring yogic tradition, heritage and Indian culture. You can expect to hear Sanscrit words, terms and phrases, themes directly from the Yoga Sutras and the 8-limbs of yoga. |

Yoga Flow - In this Vinyasa style class we will focus on flowing with breath, synchronizing physical postures with inhales and exhales. Flow classes are designed to gently cultivate heat in the body with creative sequences, sun salutations, standing and seated postures. The flowing asanas may be combined with some longer holds of certain postures to help develop a more balanced body as well as prevent repetitive motion injuries that can happen if you are always doing the same thing every day.
Yoga - A traditional Hatha Yoga class, taught in a progressive style, includes philosophy, asana, pranayama and meditation.

Somatic MovementSomatic Movement classes are based in the tradition of Thomas Hanna and Hanna Somatic Education®.
