More beginner friendly options:
Restorative yoga
Restorative yoga offers active therapeutic relaxation. You will stay in traditional yoga postures, modified by using blankets and props, for longer periods of time (five minutes or more), in order to thoroughly rest. This class is ideal for those looking to reduce physical and mental stress, as well as for those suffering from chronic pain or recovering from illness or injury. No yoga experience required, and all levels are welcome.
Slow Flow Vinyasa
This class serves as an introduction to the flowing, vinyasa style and will incorporate fundamental yoga postures into the sun salutation, moving at a slow, steady pace to get used to the flow. All levels of yoga experience are welcome in this class.
Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini is a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness. As an integrated and authentic system of exercise, breath control, chanting, and meditation that has been practiced in India for millenia, it is safe, comprehensive, and simple. Kundalini yoga promotes physical health, stimulates the mind's potential, and touches one's innermost being.
Yin yoga and meditation
Yin yoga uses passive postures held for longer periods of time (around five minutes) to allow for deep opening of the connective tissues in the hips, pelvis, and spine. This practice includes mostly sitting or lying postures to promote growth, clear energetic blockages, and enhance circulation.
What to expect:
"Sculpt your body, calm your mind, and touch your soul."
