This Hot Yoga consists of a set series of 26 postures, repeated twice and held for a specified amount of time. Every class is the same, but your experience is always different. You’ll be amazed how incredible you’ll feel after only 1 class! How cool is that? We LOVE the absolute beginner.
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic, flowing form of yoga connecting the movement from one pose to the next with the breath. Practice to music and challenge your endurance, flexibility and strength. Great compliment to the Hot26 Series. Some yoga experience is helpful, but not necessary.
Fusion Yoga incorporates elements from the Hot26 series, Vinyasa, HIIT and a little Yin. This structured class with music is designed to invigorate and motivate you to create space within your body and mind. Variations of postures with the opportunity to explore your balance, strength and flexibility, focusing on alignment and going beyond your comfort zone.
"Hot Yinyasa" is a balanced class igniting your yang energy and nurturing your yin energy. First half of class links movements together for a continuous flow (vinyasa). Second half of class is on the floor, as you settle into holding postures for 2-5 minutes, taking you deep into the connective tissue (yin). Come explore the boundaries of your physical body and build mental endurance.
Yogalates is a wonderful, empowering combination of Yoga, Pilates, Pranayama (breathing exercises), Mediation and Relaxation. Take your self-care practice to another level. Build core strength, tone muscles, gain stamina, flexibility and balance your mind. You’ll leave class feeling revitalized, refreshed, less stressed and ready for your day!
Yin is the "meditative” yoga; unique in that you relax into a pose, soften the muscle and release closer to the bone and joints. Postures are held for sustained periods of time, allowing muscles to relax and the deep connective tissue to be gently stretched. Gain more flexibility in the joints, calm and balance the mind and body. This practice of “quiet power” encourages you to explore energetic principals, cultivate compassion and refine awareness. Perfect for the beginner to advanced yogi.

This is always a great staycation! You listen to meditative music, Christina says and reads beautiful words and you’re completely supported in a pose using a bolster, strap, blocks & blankets (bring an eye pillow if you have one). You‘ll melt into postures to release tension, quiet your mind and restore your spirit. De-stress and treat yourself to this peaceful practice of relaxation and rejuvenation. Bring a newbie who’s afraid to try yoga; this would be the perfect 1st time experience for them, as no yoga experience is necessary. Room will be warm.
