Gentle Yoga (in the park)

We LOVE yoga as much as we LOVE walking. Our practice will open joints and strengthen muscles to enhance movement! We’ll begin with a little mindful quiet, possibly take time for some breath work, move into poses gently, and finish with a short meditation to enhance life! Class size limited to 9 people.

Yoga & Meditation Snacks (in the zoom room)

“Yoga Snacks” are 30/45-minute targeted practices. They will always include intention setting to begin and svasana meditation to finish. Easy to fit in your day, long-lasting afterglow. If you miss the yoga snack, there will be a library of classes available for you to use at your leisure. All times posted are ET.

Easy Flow: A slow moving practice of traditional sun and/or moon salutations followed by other creative combinations of poses (asanas) linking movement to breath. Sometimes we’ll add breath exercises. Sample Easy Flow class on Youtube.

Salutation & Meditation: A great 30-minute start to your day: 10-15 minutes of warming salutation movement followed by a 10-15 minutes of guided meditation. (Not being offered for May-June session.)

Yoga Basics: SPECIAL MAY-JUNE session that will be part discussion and part practice. What are the different types of yoga? Why do we do salutations? How can we make some of the basic poses easier to access? How can we play with some common transitions? What props might make poses more accessible? How and why should we bring self-compassion to the mat? Bring a curious mind to this unique 8-week session. (Tuesday evenings though May and June only.)

Krama HIIT: In Sanskrit the idea of progression is krama. High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is a cardiorespiratory workout alternating high intensity bursts of movement with slower active recovery periods. In this practice we’ll combine the idea of progressions with HIIT. Each practice will include 3-5 HIIT series. Each of these series will make use of a different intensity movement and before each series, we’ll review at least 2-4 progressions of the intensity movement so that you can find your sweet spot of challenge. Choose the progression that helps you achieve peak cardiorespiratory challenge during the HIIT work phases of each series. The concept of krama allows this cardiorespiratory practice to be fun and accessible for people of all fitness levels. Sample Krama HIIT class on Youtube.

Breath & Meditation: Another great 30-minute start to your day: 10-15 minutes of warming breath practice followed by a 10-15 minutes of guided meditation.(Not being offered for May-June session)

Gentle Hatha: A beautiful slow practice similar to the Hatha class described below with warming movement sequences that do not include salutation flows. Sample Gentle Hatha class on Youtube.

Hatha: Any yoga class that adds movement to the traditional meditation practice of ancient yoga is really Hatha yoga. In this class we will practice a version that is commonly seen in North America in which we use a flow sequence in the early part of the practice to warm up muscles and lubricate joints, then work toward 1 or 2 peak asanas allowing you  to explore more deeply where you can take your body in movement. Sample Hatha class on Youtube.

Special Extended Yoga Practices

Enjoy a chance to deepen your yoga practice. For the fall of 2021 we repeat our popular series from 2020, honouring the energy of the full moon. Take time to arrive, move, breathe, and meditate — one beautiful slow hour.

Strength Snacks (in the zoom room)

“Strength Snacks” are 30-minute workouts that maximize the relationship between time and results! We’ll use minimal equipment and body weight to build muscle power in your core, upper body, and lower body. The focus is typically on the muscles of the posterior chain (back of the body) to build functional strength and to improve posture.
