KATIE’S HATHA FLOW: 

This class will provide the chakras a wonderful boost while gently circulating the spinal fluid. Age is measured by flexibility of the spine, the key to staying young is staying flexible. This series will work systematically from the base of the spine to the top . All 26 vertebrae will be stimulated, and the chakras will receive a burst of energy. This practice will not only do that, but it will also increase mental clarity as well as increased circulation of the spinal fluid, which is crucially linked to having good memory. To finish the practice we will do savasana, followed by a short and simple meditation for a calm heart.

TANYA’S SLOW FLOW & HATHA:

An all levels flow class to nourish your body and mind. This practice includes an opportunity to arrive and ground to tie into observing how you are as we begin while creating a supportive breath for practice. Flowing Hatha poses will open your body, gently build strength, increase spatial awareness and improve mobility.

 

HEATHERS’S HATHA FLOW:

This is a hatha based flow incorporating continuous movement while staying connected with the breath. The focus or the theme for each class will change but will usually have a series of warm up poses, followed by a sequence of more challenging standing poses and finishing with a sequence of seated poses. This flow will be at a slower pace with longer holds, designed to improve balance, mobility, strength, flexibility and a steady mind. All levels welcome!
