Akhanda Yoga presents the most common postures that can be practiced by anyone. Students learn three-part yogic breathing, ocean-sounding breath and some practical concentration, meditation and mantras. This level aims to balance flexibility and strength, cleanse the body and help attain a natural state of health. Through the physical practice, students also learn to listen to the messages of the body enhancing self-awareness.

Akhanda Flow is intended to inspire those who are flexible and/or enjoy a dynamic and physically challenging class to use their bodies to their full potential through advanced variations of standard poses, and/or holding postures, as well as exploring the Pranic and Mental/Emotional levels of awareness. This class uses the sun salutation and variations as a thread through the middle portion of the class. Remembering that the hallmark of our approach is balance, the intensity of strong uplifting asanas toward the beginning of the program will match the intensity of the surrendering postures in the resolution of the class. This gives what is often called a yang/yin effect. In this level, students will explore further the bandhas and breath retention for the direction and expansion of prana and to aid concentration.

Restorative Yoga This class offers a gentle and healing approach to Hatha yoga. Restorative Yoga focuses on relaxing the body in restful postures. Rest provides the body an opportunity for the body to renew and heal. Restorative yoga stimulates the Parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) which is responsible for balancing the body and bringing its response system back into equilibrium. Stimulating the PNS lowers the heart rate and blood pressure; it stimulates the immune system and assists in maintenance of the endocrine system. When stressors are present, the Sympathetic Nervous System is activated which elicits the “fight or flight” response. The PNS reverses this response and allows the body to move into a relaxed state where it can rest. Restorative yoga is used in the case of particular ailments and provides techniques for preventing and managing health concerns.

Practitioners of Somayog report improved structural alignment, body image, flexibility, strength, stress relief and general well being. Somayog is appropriate for anyone of any age and ability.

Yin Yoga uses long-held relaxed floor postures to stretch and stimulate the deep connective tissues of the body. Yin postures are done with the muscles relaxed and are held a long time increasing your flexibility, opening your hips, lower back and shoulders and enhancing your overall sense of well-being. Yin yoga targets fascia rather than muscles and works on energetic pathways (meridians) in the body to increase the presence and flow of chi or life force energy. It is also a contemplative, mindfulness based practice promoting emotional and mental health. Yin yoga is great for athletes who develop tightness in their bodies as a result of intense training. In particular, hockey players, equestrians and runners benefit from the hip opening of yin yoga.

Yin Flow provides a delightful, balanced practice of active and passive forms of yoga.
