Class Descriptions

Power Vinyasa and Power Hour are the same class just different terms for the 60 minutes vs 75 or 90 minutes.

Basics Class: A 60 minute class that is perfect for beginner. More instruction is given in each pose especially on proper alignment. A great place if you are new to the practice or wish to refresh your knowledge.

Intermediate/Advanced Class: This class is for students who know the Baptiste Power Vinyasa series and want to take their practice to the next level. We will explore more advanced variations and inversions within the flow. Students must attend at least 20 Baptiste classes before they attend an Intermediate level class.

Restorative Class: Is a practice of resting deeply where there is no tension, movement, or effort. A typical restorative class will place you in specific poses on your mat where your body is supported by blocks, bolsters and blankets; allowing your body and mind space to heal and relax. Poses are held for longer times, you might have 4 or 5 poses in a 90 minute class. This class is a great balance to the vigorius practice of the Baptiste Flow.  This class is "room temperature". All poses are done on the floor. Students must register on line for this class. Space is limited to 9. Your spot is guarenteed , no refunds if you are a "no show". ***Please note. Class size is limited to 9 for restorative yoga. To guarentee your spot sign up and pay on line. If you do not show or show up late you will still be charged for the class. No REFUNDS, no admittance after class starts. Drop ins are welcome if space is available.

Yoga Tips

The following recommendations are to help you get the most out of your yoga practice.

Drink Water

Come to class well hydrated. Sweat helps to cool the body. A well-hydrated body will sweat quickly and efficiently helping you release toxins and stay cool in a heated room. Drink plenty of water even on days you don't come to class. (Don't chug water right before class, you will feel uncomfortable especially in the floor postures.)

Breathe

Breathe smoothly and evenly. Let your breathe flow. We practice Ujjayi breath- (victorious breath) with our vinyasa class.Breathing is the most inportant aspect of your yoga practice. Keeping your mouth closed and taking air in through your nose will keep you cooler in the room.. Check yourself during class to make sure you are not holding your breath.

Focus on Yourself

Focus your attention on you with complete awareness. This class is for you. (Practicing with complete attention is advanced yoga even if you are a beginner). Work on proper alignment and do the best you can in each particular moment. You will get the benefits of the yoga immediately.

Build a Foundation

Wherever you are in a posture is your yoga. Be content with where you are. You build up strength from the inside out. Listen to your body and be kind. Be patient with yourself and honor your own path.

Cultivate a Practice

The more yoga you do the faster you will see the benefits. Find a schedule thats fits and that you can commit to. Three times a week is a good place to start.

Communicate

Speak to the instructors about any concerns before class. We are here to help guide you in your practice. Please let us know if you have an injury, have had surgeries, stressful situations, medications or if you need clarifications or modifications for certain postures.

Avoid Injury

Pushing yourself too fast into a posture could result in an injury. Cultivate awareness. Listen to your body. Take personal responsibility for your practice.You should not feel that you are straining to breathe or hold a posture. If so, you have gone too far too soon.
