styles are available upon request.
CHAIR YOGA
This class is ideal for seniors or others experiencing limited range of
motion, chronic pain, or recovering from an injury. Enjoy soothing
movements for flexibility, range of motion, and gentle strengthening...all
performed using a chair. Learn beginner level breathing and meditation
techniques to quiet the mind and release stress it's root.
(30-45 minute class)
HATHA YOGA
The perfect introduction to yoga, this class is based in therapeutic
postures for the spine, hips, shoulders, and neck. Gentle yet challenging
postures encourage stronger muscles and bones, while simple relaxation
techniques release tension from the mind and body. Both seasoned
practitioners and those new to yoga can find benefit from this class
through the relaxed pace of postures, emphasis on energetic alignment,
and pranayama (breath work). New beginners and all levels of
practitioners are encouraged to attend.
(45-90 minute class)
PRANA FLOW YOGA
A style developed by Shiva Rea, this high energy vinyasa-based class
focuses on the flow of prana (Life force or Consciousness) in the body.
Through wave-like motion, the practice of yoga is liberated by stepping
out of traditional linear patterns and plains of movement. Sun salutations
flow in a circular pattern, core strengthening is approached in a way that
seals up the 'leaks' in the core, and traditional postures are infused with
movement meditation. This class is recommended for those who are
already experienced in Vinyasa style yoga practice. (90-120 minute class)
RESTORATIVE YOGA
A deeply restful practice. Enjoy restorative postures in which the body is
full supported by bolsters, blankets, straps, and/or blocks, providing the
opportunity for muscles and mind to melt and let go. Appropriate for all
body types and levels of experience. (60-90 minute class)
THERAPEUTIC VINYASA
This class features a therapeutic version of vinyasa yoga practice
designed to cleanse the body/mind of toxins, strengthen muscles and
bones, and liberate the spirit. Marty's approach to vinyasa flow focuses on
energetic alignment and breath placement, creating a therapeutic
practice rooted in safe posture practice and total body awareness.
Postures in this class are introduced in stages, and are adaptable to all
levels of fitness and flexibility. The core of the practice is rooted in a
'reverse' variation of the Sun Salutations and interwoven with gentle and
therapeutic postures for the hips, spine, shoulders, and neck. New
beginners are encouraged to attend. (45-90 minute class)
VINYASA YOGA or POWER VINYASA
This class features an athletic style of yoga practice designed to cleanse
the body/mind of toxins, strengthen muscles and bones, and liberate the
spirit. Marty's approach to vinyasa flow focuses on energetic alignment
and breath placement, creating a challenging practice rooted in safe
posture practice and total body awareness. Postures in this class are
introduced in stages, and are adaptable to all levels of fitness. The core of
the practice is rooted in the Sun Salutations and interwoven with
standing postures, arm balances, inversions, backbends, forward bends,
twists, and Marty's popular core strengthening sequences. This practice
is for experienced beginners and all levels of practitioners.
(45-90 minute class)
YIN YOGA
Gentle stretching poses are sustained between 2-5 minutes to benefit the
joints, ligaments, and tendons of the body (the Yin tissues). The class
begins with a short seated meditation, and continues with 2-3 lunges,
with the remaining postures performed seated or lying down. The focus is
postures effecting positive change for the hips, lower back, legs, and
spine. This practice is for new beginners and all levels of practitioners.
(60-90 minute class)
YOGA FOR THE SPINE
A gentle, Hatha style yoga class that focuses on encouraging strength,
mobility, and flexibility in the spine and the muscles of the back. All are
encouraged to attend. (45-90 minute class)
YOGA NIDRA
Yoga Nidra means "Yogic Sleep". It is a powerful guided relaxation
practice in which you enter a deep level of meditation known as conscious
sleep. This state of awareness is extremely beneficial for resolving
samskaras (habits or patterns), releasing deep rooted stress, creating
mental clarity, energizing the body, and facilitating healing at a cellular
level. This guided relaxation experience is for everyone. Resources for
continued practice will be provided. Bring your yoga mat and any props
that will assist in lying on the floor comfortably. Note: Marty is a Certified
Yoga Nidra Teacher.
