Class Descriptions are subject to change but this will give you a guide into the classes we offer! All Be Yoga Classes make time to incorporate breathwork and meditation into the class.
Hatha All Levels
Our Hatha All Levels classes are for students who are seeking to expand on the basic knowledge of asana.
This Hatha class offers longer held poses to build a foundation of strength and improve balance and flexibility. Classes will explore more challenging postures as well as challenging combinations. Connect to breath, body, and self in this class where you choose the level of intensity that you need. Modifications and variations of the poses will be presented and welcomed.
Hatha Intermediate
This Intermediate class will challenge you both mentally and physically. A step up from our Hatha All Levels classes, this class will prepare you for the Advanced Asana class.
A deeper exploration of possibilities in asana will be explored. We will focus on some poses you may already know and an introduction into the fundamentals of advanced asana.
You will be introduced to arm balances, deeper backbends, binds, and inversions, just to name a few. It is recommended to have a yoga practice of at least six months and an open mind!
Movement & Meditation
Moving our bodies, we bring attention to what is present in our awareness. This all levels class offers safe options to explore asana and all that arises in the midst of a focused practice. The class will end with an extended savasana with elements of Yoga Nidra or guided meditation. Welcoming physical, energetic, mental, and emotional occurrences to witness and experience the awesome gift of being in the here and now. A new start to your day and week awaits with this exploration of movement, grounded in the felt sense and peace of meditation.
Strength & Mobility
Not a yoga asana class! Knowledge of yoga postures is not needed for this class. This class is body weight exercises mixed with body mobility. Mobility is moving through active angles of motion with control. Strength is needed to lead a more controlled and stable life of movement. Realizing that muscle activation is the underlying guide into movement.
This class will focus on how the body moves and why. Everyday movements of the body will be practiced and slowed down to build foundational strength and mobility. Squat, hinge, lunge, push, pull, balance, and twist with awareness of our body moving in the moment with breath. Come to move your body to create greater awareness of your physical self!
Slow Flow
Slow Flow is a fun and creative, yet mindful practice, letting the breath and body move together as one.
You will build strength and awareness with sequences of poses that will raise your energy and challenge the mind.
Movement is an integral part of the human experience, through exploring the potential of the self, we are offered an opportunity to excavate our thoughts in mind as well as going deeper in body.
A great class for newer students to practice body and mind awareness but must have familiarity with poses and alignment.
Gentle Hatha/Level 1
Build a solid foundation of yoga asana in this Level 1 class appropriate for those new to yoga as well as students looking to refine their experience of core poses.
Class will emphasize connection to breath, alignment of body, and mindfulness.
Standing poses, balance, seated postures, and reclined poses will help develop strength, flexibility, and ease in the body.
In addition, class will explore quieting the mind and tapping into yoga's stress relieving benefits.
Advanced Asana
Arm balances, inversions, and deeper variations of poses will be deeply explored. A pinnacle pose is established at the beginning of class and there is consistent practice and refining as class progresses. With precise alignment being offered, an advanced practitioner is invited to feel each pose in the body and to make adjustments that work for them. Not appropriate for beginners or those with injuries.
Yoga for the Back
Start your day on your mat with a focused practice of strengthening the core muscles around our spine and the strength that is needed for balance. Using therapeutic principles of yoga asana, you will build strength and awareness of body, while increasing stamina and flexibility. This class is not geared towards beginners but can be modified to those new to the practice of asana.
Be Still-Restorative
Make time to experience the ultimate practice of slowing down with gentle Restorative yoga. After intentional breath work, you will be led through a thoughtful series of restorative yoga poses using bolsters, blankets, and blocks as props to support the body with the gentle opening of common tense areas like the hips, shoulders, and back, helping to re-align your posture and release physical tension. Every restorative pose lasts about 5-10 minutes and is your time to practice meditation, pranayama, or affirmations.
Accompanied by special Hz music to create the most supportive parasympathetic environment within. This aids in the renewal of the nervous system, releasing stress, a scattered mind, and helps with the sensations of anxiety.
Class will close with guided relaxation, guided meditation, sound bath, or reiki, depending on instructor. Leave feeling the bliss of stillness in your mind and body.
