Hatha Yoga
Yoga is an ancient Eastern Indian system of
balancing body, mind, and emotions. The goal of yoga is to have a peaceful, clear mind in a sound healthy body. Hatha Yoga
is the aspect of yoga that approaches this goal through the physical aspect of the body. The yoga postures (asanas) work each
part of the body to stretch and strengthen the muscles, increase fluidity in the joints, and promote flexibility of the entire
skeletal system. By releasing physical and mental tension through yoga postures and relaxation, you can increase your energy,
maintain your healthy and create a sense of balance and well being in your life.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a style of yoga that uses
props to support the body during the practice. Use of the props provides a completely supportive environment for total relaxation
and surrendering into the pose. Relaxation is a state in which there is no movement, no effort, and the brain is quiet. Restorative
yoga stimulates the nervous system to relax, helps to quiet the chatter going on in the mind and encourages the release of
deeply help tension. The practice in itself moves the body towards a state of balance. Class is held the last Sunday of every month @ 3:00 pm.
