Hot 90 (Bikram) – 90 Minute Beginners Class in a 105-degree room. This class is available to all body types and all levels of understanding. Hot Yoga builds an unshakable foundation for life and therapeutically works every system of your body. Practice this twenty-six posture beginning yoga set, to systematically move fresh, oxygenated blood to one hundred percent of your body. Through the practice, every organ and every fiber of your body is revitalized.

Hot Yoga systematically restores all your systems to healthy working order, just as nature intended. Students experience proper weight, muscle tone, vibrant good health, and a sense of well being that automatically follows. You will experience the science of this set in the way you experience your body, mind, and spirit after class is complete. Hot Yoga is scientifically designed to deliver total health through the balancing and strengthening of every system in the body. This strengthening prevents illness and injury, promotes weight loss, and limits the effects of aging.

In addition, this series combines concentration, patience, determination, faith, and self-control which increases mental clarity and reduces stress. We also do the yoga in a heated room. The heat especially helps to warm your muscles, prevent injury, allow a deeper workout and it cleanses the body by flushing toxins.

Most noteworthy is that consistency yields greater results. Therefore, we recommend a minimum of 3 classes a week to create noticeable change in your mind, body, and energy.

The Advanced (84 postures) class is for students with a regular practice of 90 minutes classes, ideally have been practicing regularly for over a year or more, that are committed to their yoga practice and have a desire to improve their overall skills and knowledge. There is no age limit although the classes are more vigorous than a regular class.

Expect to be challenged both physically and mentally as the class requires stamina and increased strength and flexibility, but in a supportive and fun way. These classes are less dialogue based and more about just trying, committing and experiencing what is possible in the mind and body.

These classes are challenging, community based and are less formal, so expect to work hard, laugh and receive more individual attention to help you grow your overall yoga experience!

The Advanced class is a carefully constructed sequence of 84 asanas that will challenge your body and mind to limits that you did not think were possible.

Key Benefits of the Class:

• Small group size, so more personal and casual

• Guided by advanced level teachers and practitioners

• Welcoming and supportive environment to develop your practice

• Gain deeper knowledge and experience of the Bikram 26/2 series and more advanced asanas

• Open your mind and body in ways you never imagined.

The Advanced class provides a complete breakdown of these challenging postures under careful guidance and encouragement. Prepare your body to continue to grow and develop your practice as you sweat, struggle, laugh, and even cry yourself to a stronger, more flexible body and mind.

The best way for the body and mind to grow is to be continuously stretched to their limits. It’s easy to stick to your routine and move through your everyday motions; however, growth comes from new challenges and striving for new levels of experience within the body and mind. The advanced series is a perfect opportunity to learn new postures, new techniques, within a supportive and more personal environment.

You will be amazed at how your postures and overall practice develops in a short space of time!

Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic and muscular (yang) styles of yoga. This is a great practice for students at any level of practice. Yang style emphasizes internal heat and the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. In contrast, Yin generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.

Yin Yoga has the same goals and objectives as any form of yoga. However, Yin Yoga directs the stimulation normally created in the asana portion of the practice deeper than the superficial or muscular tissue (yang style). As a result, Yin Yoga targets your connective tissue. Expect to reach the ligaments, bones, and even the joints of the body that normally are not treated in more active styles of asana practice.

Initially, this style of yoga can seem boring, passive, or soft, but Yin practice can be quite challenging! You will experience this challenge when you engage in the long duration of the poses. Your instructor will hold the postures from one to twenty minutes! Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. Experience this yourself to really understand what Yin Yoga is about. Once you have experienced it, you will realize that you have been doing only half of the asana practice.

Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice or discipline which originated in India. The most well-known types of yoga are Hatha yoga and Raja yoga. Through thorough examination of the postures you will find a deeper connection to you by practice of these disciplines.

We believe whole heartedly in the 90 min 26&2 as a therapeutic treatment for your whole body, mind and spirit. Sometimes time is tight and you just need a quick, good sweat. We’ve created a space with music that will help you create more strength and balance in your 90 min class. This is going to be Epic!

Here’s a clip from Ida and Scott who have brought these therapies directly to us from Gosh College of India:

ADDRESSING COMMON IMBALANCE, TIGHTNESS & WEAKNESS

The class will work to build functional strength and range of motion in the major joints and muscles. Therapeutic exercises are done in movement, in contrast to yoga postures which are held in stillness. These exercises move the body through its range of motion with each repetition.

In addition, therapeutic exercises are intended to bring health and ease to the body and mind. They have the ability to strengthen weak areas and relax tight ones when employed properly.

This is appropriate for the most beginning, debilitated, weak or tight student. Therapeutic exercises are intentionally designed to help build health, function and ease.
