Yoga is a word from Sanscrit meaning union, becoming one with yourself and remaining still at the center of a storm. We offer a variety of classes from basic to more advanced, yet what remains consistent are the foundational principles of breath and consciousness through movement. Each teacher is dedicated to his or her own practice and in all humility brings themselves to the mat as a student as well as a teacher inviting you to join them in a deeper physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self-exploration.
Rhythms offers a variety of yoga classes:.
Yoga 101 (Beginner) - This yoga class is designed to help you get the fundamentals of yoga following Anusara-inspired principles blended within an easy flow. You will learn how to align your body in different postures, how to deepen your breathing with pranayama breathing techniques and how to increase your overall flexibility and stamina while gaining a greater peace of mind. Open to those who have never done yoga or who want to deepen their practice through correct postural alignment.
Slow Flow Yoga (Beginner to Intermediate) - A vinyasa flow to awaken the body's energy. Discover how to build up energy though movement and allow it to flow slowly.
Advanced Beginner Yoga (Intermediate) - This class has been designed almost as a yoga 102 for the beginners who are ready to be challenged a little more. Still following the Anusara principles of yoga, the students are invited to go deeper in the postures and hold them for longer periods of time as well as trying more challenging postures.
Mindful Vigorous Yoga - The pace of this class is intended to gently raise the heart rate and build a good sweat around moderate-to-intermediate postures followed by a spacious and deep relaxation. The purpose of this class is to cultivate awareness and kindness, in order to breathe deeply and revitalize body and mind.
Power Vinyasa (intermediate/advanced) - This is a 60-minute class that demands your attention. It will bring together breath, movement, intention and relaxation. By unleashing your true power it will become effortless to thread your mind and body together as one.
Pre-Natal Yoga - The classes provide an opportunity for expectant women to develop body awareness and deepen their relationship with their baby. Gentle postures, breath work, visualization, vocal toning and meditation cultivate flexibility, calmness and confidence as you prepare for labor and childbirth. During the classes, women will be encouraged to access their capacity for deeper relaxation and comfort.
Vinyasa Flow (Intermediate to Advanced) - In this flow class you will work from posture to posture in a powerful yogic dance. You will see threads of Kriya, Ashtanga, Hatha, and many yoga genres woven together. Previous yoga experience is recommended.
Vinyasa/Yin Yoga - After engaging fully into a strong flow of poses, reap the benefits of relaxing into postures supported by props with candlelight shining a warm light to your practice.
Candlelight Yin Yoga - Ahhh, what a better way to end the week than coming to a yoga class where you get the chance to deeply unwind through a slow, yogic flow, opening while holding and breathing deeply, pausing and relaxing in between postures in a dim candlelit room.
