Classes
Hot Vinyasa
Our signature class inspired by Karen’s teacher, Jonny Kest, is characterized by eclectic, (at times) loud music ranging from yoga beats, rock n’ roll, hip hop, and more. The energy of these classes is contagious and practiced in a room where temperatures range between 90-95 degrees. The teacher will guide you through several unique sequences of postures to memorize, where you will link breath and movement and then you will be given the opportunity to flow through the sequences on your own for several minutes and move to the rhythm of your own breath. Hot Vinyasa is the studio’s most dynamic, free-flowing class. Stepping out of your comfort zone, you’re set free to explore the balance of this vigorous practice; an experience that will keep you coming back for more.
If you are new to a yoga practice, we recommend your first class be a “Slow Flow.” Focusing on fluid movement, this class incorporates all aspects of a Hot Vinyasa practice and yet flows with a somewhat lighter pace and with more guidance.
Slow Flow
The name may be a bit misleading, but the elements are the same as Hot Vinyasa. Our most popular class with temperatures reaching approximately 90 degrees, it is set to softer music and develops strength and flexibility through a slower, more guided pace. Traditional and teacher-created Sun Salutation’s A and B are repeated several times to give students an opportunity to memorize the postures, tap into the breath and free-flow through the sequences to find one’s individual flow state. After this period of time, class will then be fully guided which will include Sun Salutation C, core strengtheners, back bends, longer holding postures and Yin to balance out the practice. From beginners to advanced students, Slow Flow is opened to anyone willing to explore yoga’s fullest potential.
Ashtanga Flow
Based on the eight limb path of yoga, this is a traditional practice with slight variations in each class. Music ranges from traditional to contemporary to keep you connected all class long. You’ll have the opportunity to learn postures from the primary series of Ashtanga Yoga in a condensed short form. This class is ideal for beginner students wishing to learn more about the basics of each posture as well as the advanced practitioner desiring to take some of the postures to new levels. The “predictability” of Ashtanga makes this a fun class for anyone seeking an understanding of the foundations from which The Yoga Studio’s Slow Flow, Vinyasa Flow and Hot Vinyasa are created. As with all classes at TYS, each teacher will bring their unique creativity to this ancient short form Ashtanga practice!
Restorative Yin
Allow yourself to relax as you move into stillness and melt away stress. Soothing music sets the tone as you begin with gentle stretching, followed by restorative postures and a few standing poses to ignite energy and build strength. The remainder of the class uses guided meditation and poses held for several minutes, allowing students to achieve a level of relaxation and meditation, unlike any other yoga class. For those with a daily Vinyasa practice, this class is a must! Vinyasa is dynamic and physically challenging (yang). When done too frequently, without an opposing yin, the body can become fatigued and more susceptible to injuries. This class is the perfect complement to your practice. Bring back the balance you’ve been missing – Restorative Yin will leave you feeling peaceful, centered and rejuvenated!
