Pilates/Yoga Fusion Class

with Andrea

Pilates- Pilates is a mind-body exercise method developed by the late Joseph H. Pilates. The STOTT method builds upon the original principles of Joseph Pilates while incorporating modern knowledge about the body and biomechanics. This system of exercise focuses on developing core stability while strengthening and balancing the body.

FUSION CLASS - Combining postures from both yoga and pilates creates a sequence of poses that will help you strengthen your center and develop a more flexible body.

BENEFITS OF YOGA & PILATES:

Iyengar Yoga

with Jeevan

Iyengar Yoga is characterized by great attention to detail and precise focus on body alignment. Iyengar pioneered the use of "props" such as cushions, benches, blocks, straps, and even sand bags, which function as aids allowing beginners to experience asanas more easily and fully than might otherwise be possible without several years of practice. Props also allow tired or ill students to enjoy the benefits of many asanas via fully "supported" methods requiring less muscular effort.

Standing poses are emphasized in Iyengar Yoga. They build strong legs, increase general vitality, and improve circulation, coordination and balance, ensuring a strong foundation for study of more advanced poses.

Unlike more experiential approaches where students are encouraged to independently "find their way" to the asanas by imitating the teacher, an Iyengar Yoga class is highly verbal and precise, with misalignments and errors actively corrected

Meditation

The Sunday morning meditation is a donation only class. As an ongoing class, that is new every week it is designed to give the practitioner, in time, a full understanding of what it is to Meditate. A variety of techniques are used to bring one into the vibrant and uniting state of meditation. Bring your questions, frustrations hopes inspirations and open heart.
