KRIPALU YOGA Kripalu Yoga will do more than make you flexible and strong. It is a unique
way to integrate body, mind, and spirit through opening to the wisdom of your
body. Kripalu Yoga is a modern school of yoga that reflects a synthesis of
traditional approaches. Kripalu yoga incorporates into one system the physical
and purification practices of Hatha Yoga; the mental disciplines of Raja Yoga;
the prana awakening principles of Kundalini Yoga; the devotion of Bhakti Yoga;
and the emphasis on service of Karma Yoga. The Kripalu Yoga Methodology
Throughout Kripalu’s three-stage approach, you are guided to move at your own
pace, through yoga postures and breathing techniques, honoring your body’s needs
in each moment. Kripalu Yoga is a compassionate and non-judgmental way to
develop your Self. You leave the class feeling uplifted and centered. Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 3

MODERATE YOGA This class is for everyone looking for a relaxing and revitalizing yoga experience.. Pranayama (breathing exercises) are followed by gentle movements to warm up the body, blending into an asana (posture) series designed to engage the entire body. The class ends with a ten minute relaxation followed by 5 minutes of silent meditation. All levels of experience can equally enjoy this class as the individuals are encouraged to modify every movement to their unique needs. Beginners will find the depth of explanation suitable to follow the flow without difficulty. SLOW FLOW YOGA a class with sequences of postures to cultivate strength, balance and meditation in motion. Students are guided to be mindful of structural alignment, breath and energy. The class begins with a seated centering including Pranayama (breathing techniques) and warm-up movement to open the body. The class continues with yoga asana (pose) sequences that may incorporate intermediate level poses and balances and some longer holdings. Participants should have knowledge and experience of the primary yoga asanas and how to modify them when necessary and should be comfortable moving slowly through sun salutations. The class ends with a ten minute relaxation and seated meditation.

GENTLE AND RESTORATIVE YOGA a class to unwind the physical and emotional body. This class will begin with conscious relaxation and pranayama (yogic breathing techniques) for centering followed by gentle Yoga stretches and poses sometimes joined as a sequence of poses to warm and open the body, followed by Yoga pose(s) with the support of well placed blankets, pillows and chairs. Experience lingering quietly in these propped poses to sooth away stress and tension with some guided meditation or mudra.
In general, restorative poses are for those times when you feel weak, fatigued, or stressed from your daily activities. They are especially beneficial for the times before, during, and after major life events: death of a loved one, change of job or residence, marriage, divorce, major holidays, etc. In addition, you can practice the poses when ill, or recovering from illness or injury.
STRUCTURAL YOGA™
YOGA FOR CORE STRENGTH AND STABILITY Benefits: “Incorporate the Yoga concepts of conscious
controlled breathing and movement, focus and concentration and you will surely
enhance not only your weight lifting workouts but, any workouts, your athletic
performance and your mind/body connection too.” NOTE FOR ALL LEVELS: The class begins with some movements and standing stretches, progressing into deeper levels of stretching. There is a strong emphasis on breathing throughout the class. The slow deep breathing allows for release of stress, and for the opening and releasing of deeply held tightness throughout the body.
This Stretch class can be used to create better flexibility, increased range of motion, and as a way to develop and enhance body awareness. This class can potentially be used as a tool for personal growth, and a way to create deep transformational changes in one's life - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. The Stretch technique is that of Lucy Bowen McCauley, dancer, choreographer, and teacher at the Academy of the Maryland Youth Ballet. Leigh Ann's contribution to this technique comes from 15 years of teaching and observation of my students, my own past dance and movement training, plus experiences with Educational Kinesiology, bodywork, and healing energy therapies.
PILATES CORE MAT (available one-on-one) Pilates is a full body exercise program with an emphasis on strengthening the
“core” muscles which include the lower back, abdominals, thighs, buttocks and
hips. There are also upper body strengthening exercises such as planks and
Pilates push-up to tone the arms, upper chest and back. Pilates lengthens,
strengthens and tones your body as well as increases flexibility and balance.
You will learn to focus and concentrate your mind in conjunction with the
movements. Pilates is a mind/body experience. With continued practice you will
be able to execute the movements with fluidity and precision isolating only the
muscles that need to work. Mary always say, "Grace will arrive - be patient -
and just be!" MIND BODY FITNESS ... YOGA INSPIRED A workout that strengthens the body by using your own body weight as resistance while moving into and through traditional yoga poses with repetitive flows and holds. Mental focus is cultivated with deepening awareness of movement and each pose form. There is also cardiovascular benefits from working the large muscle groups of the body (which increases heart rate) in concert with deep breathing.
