X-SpinWe combined Spinning, core, and stretching into one class, creating a "whole body" sense of accomplishment.

This is also a great way ensure you include your core, a priority for good posture, strength and healthy back. Anyone who finds themselves skipping core and could use that little push, or who needs a little more stretch time to reward their muscles for the great work they do for us everyday, should definitely attend.

This class gives you 30+ minutes of spin and yoga focuses on opening up the shoulders, hips, hip flexors and some core exercises., bringing length to your muscles after an intense workout. *Note: Saturday Yoga/Spinn is an 75 MInute Class.

Postures are explored in detail and movements are slowed down giving space for the body to open. Flexibility is not a prerequisite! Vinyasa FlowAn active, empowering and physically challenging practice which conditions the whole body, increasing strength and flexibility. Rhythmic breathing is synchronized with conscious movement, such that poses smoothly flow one into another, in near-continuous motion. By integrating breath with motion energy blockages are released and the healthy flow of prana (energy or life-force) throughout the body is optimized. *Note: Saturday class is a full 75 minutes providing you with just enough extra time to fully restore after a long week.

Anusara-Inspired Yoga:Most of our instructor’s styles are inspired by the teachings of John Friend and the playful, yet alignment-oriented style that Anusara offers to the student. Principles of alignment have been dissected and adapted to communicate “real language” to real people. Our instructors take pride in teaching outside the box, using principles of alignment that translate into functional movements.
