Class Descriptions

• Yin Yoga class
  In Yin Yoga, specific postures are held passively for 3-5 minutes to access the dense fibrous ligaments or connective tissues of the joints. The intention is to stimulate circulation in less flexible areas closest to the core of the body; the hips, low back and sacrum. When holding a posture without striving, a gentle tension is applied to the connective tissue that begins to counteract the effects of aging and gravity. This is how Yin Yoga can preserve and increase the range of motion in our joints. Yin Yoga encourages the use of prana (breath) and mindfulness readying one for meditation.
• T’ai Chi class
  T’ai Chi is a system of movements that is known for its slow, flowing actions that are performed with a relaxed, conscious mind. With regular practice, one will bring the body and mind back to its natural state through stance training, stretching, proper breathing and moving meditation. There are many benefits from doing T’ai Chi including better balance, stress reduction, improving circulation, an increase in stamina, strength and flexibility. Anyone of any age can benefit from practicing T’ai Chi. The classes are centered around the individual so the practioner only works to their level of comfort. It is up to you to know your limit and to not overexert yourself. The results will be greater if you have patience and slowly bring your mind and body into natural harmony.
• Zumba Class
  Zumba is a Latin-inspired dance-fitness class that incorporates Latin and International music and dance movements, which create a dynamic, exciting and effective fitness system. This class format combines fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body in an aerobic/fitness fashion to achieve a unique blended balance of cardio and muscle-toning benefits. The cardio-based dance movements are easy to follow steps that are fun, different and effective.
