YIN

A slow practice focused on the deep connective tissues in the body. Floor postures are held 3-5 minutes in a calming, meditative class. Supportive of joint mobility and internal body systems, it encourages unwinding of tension. Yin brings a balance to your active lifestyle on or off the mat. Yin utilizes studio props like bolsters, blankets, sandbags, blocks, and straps to support long holds and deep stretches.

All levels welcome.

HB: HAND-BALANCING

CORE

Find strength and length through 45 minutes of functional core training. The bulk of class is spent on total-core strength training, and full body conditioning, including front, back, and side body core. Utilizing body-weight movements, with the addition of fitness and Pilates style props to fire up your power-house. The best of both worlds, in addition to the Core focus, this class includes creative, dynamic stretching and lengthening of the muscles, with a focus on the breath; inspired by yoga and Pilates.\

All levels welcome.

MAT PILATES

A wonderful complement to yoga, climbing, and regular life. Pilates challenges our muscles and endurance, while focusing our attention on our breath and postural muscles surrounding our back and core. Pilates works to build the core, back, and shoulder strength needed to achieve hand-balancing and climbing goals, as well as correct common back pains and stiffness from sitting and walking.
