Vinyasa
yoga
Prana Vinyasa Flow™ Yoga, a continuous flow of asanas, integrating prana or
breath to harmonize the physical, emotional and mental bodies. Marcy has
found that being open to the flow of every day and every moment, allows for
infinite possibility and evolution of the true self and encourages to bring the
teachings of this flow into all that we do.
Ashtanga
yoga
Is the system of Yoga taught by Sri K. Pattabhi
Jois in Mysore, India. This method of Yoga involves linking the breath with
postures (asanas). Postures in the Ashtanga vinyasa class will strengthen,
purify, and give flexibility to the body and mind. The breathing technique used
in this form of yoga heats up the body which allows the mind to concentrate and
focus while moving in and out of postures. This class is challenging, rigorous,
and is a great form of moving meditation.
lyengar yoga
lyengar style yoga, founded by B.K.S. lyengar focuses on precision,
alignment and building strength. Poses may be held longer so that
participants may pay attention to precise alignment and reap the benefits of
postures. Props, such as belts and blocks, are utilized. Classes are
open to all levels of students.
Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga is the
most popular branch of Yoga, from which many different styles of Yoga are
rooted, including Iyengar & Ashtanga. All these styles aim to balance the
mind, body and spirit through the Asanas, or poses; however, the emphasis will
vary with each type of yoga. A Hatha Yoga class is a great introduction to
yoga.
Pilates method
With more than 90 years of success, the Pilates method has been the ultimate
full body workout. By training the body and mind to work together, Pilates
strengthens and tones the muscles, improves flexibility, and promotes overall
fitness - all without machines.
"In ten sessions you will feel the difference, in twenty you
will see the difference, and in thirty you will have a whole new body"
- Joseph H. Pilates
PiYo
PiYo is a combination of both Yoga and Pilates. PiYo allows you to
move at a decent tempo from one pose to another, and from exercise to exercise.
Some of the exercises are performed while seated, and some while standing.
Yoga on
walls
“yoga-on-walls” is
coined by Boise Peak Fitness. It involves using yoga style body movements,
while climbing on the walls. It uses gravity in addition to yoga in a method
that enhances strength and flexibility (two aspects climbers use to enhance
their climbing technique). Generally, one climbs the easier routes (5.6 to 5.7)
and focuses on technique. When finished you then down-climb, while on belay. We
encourage multiple laps on the climb.
Mysore Style
Mysore style teaches Astanga Yoga's Primary Series in
its original form, the same method used by the late yoga master, Sri. T.
Krishnamacharya, who passed it down to present day Astanga guru, Sri K. Pattabhi
Jois, and from Jois to his students in Mysore, India. Mysore style incrementally
unfolds the Primary Series to each practitioner on an individual basis to meet
the needs and level of each student. Beginners start with a 20-minute practice
that evolves into a 1 hour 30 minute practice with completion of the full
series.
