Hot Yoga – NBalance Series
This is our sequence of Hatha yoga asanas, or postures, which provides a comprehensive workout that engages the body and the mind. Each asana is held statically, ranging from 30 seconds to 1 minute, which not only develops strength and increases range of motion but also allows time to focus on the breath and proper alignment. The cumulative series and the heat of the room (hot- approximately 100⁰F) work together to increase blood and oxygen flow which results in a high caloric burn that also brings about a sense of calm clarity to the mind. Classes vary in length from 45 minutes to 90 minutes (see schedule), and this class is great for all levels of yoga practice (ranging from beginners to advanced yogis).
Pratyahara Variation
Pratyahara is a Sanskrit term that relates to the “withdrawal of the senses.” This class is based off our NBalance Series and performed in a candlelit studio with minimal cueing to create a setting with fewer distractions so that we can turn the awareness within. We recommend that yogis have experience with the NBalance series first in order to feel more comfortable with fewer cues. The room is (hot- approximately 100⁰F) and the class is 60 minutes in length.
Vinyasa
A flow style form of Hatha yoga which connects the breath with dynamic movement and as you transition from one asana (posture) to the next. The class typically moves through a warm-up, include Sun Salutations that move through strategically placed postures leading up to a peak pose or target a specific body area. While the pace and sequence will vary per the instructor, the class is always designed to challenge all levels by creating space for both modifications and variations. of the room can vary from gentle to warm (83-93⁰F), depending on the instructor, and class time can vary from 45-75 minutes. All levels of yoga practice are welcome (ranging from beginners to advanced yogis).
