Hot Yoga Evolution - Our Signature Series

Level: Beginning Yoga Series (Great for New Students)

• Beginning Yoga Series (Great for New Students)
• Healing Series
• Well Balanced Practice
• Upper Body Conditioning
• Hip Opening

All aspects of this practice exist in perfect balance. Here you will find the ultimate fusion of Hot Yoga. Breath, Movement, and Thought work in unison to create the changes of your choice. This class emphasizes additional strength development of the upper body as well as increased opening of the hips and pelvis. This particular series will also challenge your upper body in new ways as well as create new access points into your body. Every muscle, joint, organ, and cell will be re-awakened and brought towards their more normal balanced state.

The goal of this Hatha Yoga practice which, follows the Bishnu Ghosh tradition, is mainly focused on healing the body. Though the classes are challenging, healing the body from the inside out is a very important concept brought to us from Paramahansa Yogananda & Bishnu Ghosh.

Unlike many styles of yoga, this Hatha practice works through the entire body equally to leave you with a “well balanced” form and practice. Once the body has been worked through and brought into equilibrium it will be open and cooperative to enjoy a more directed asana practice such as hip openers, back-bends, or stretching postures.

CLASS LENGTH MAY VARY 75 - 90 MINUTES

Flow

Hot Vinyasa Flow

Our hot and powerful Vinyasa Flow class is a dynamic flowing yoga session which teaches you how to use your breath to move your body. Breath and Body move at the same time each feeding off of each other.

A greater awareness of breath and incorporating it into the physical movements known as asanas will allow you, as a human being, to just breathe and be. A person who breathes freely in their daily life will find GREAT LOVE in their hearts and the freedom to live. The asanas (postures) are beginner level and yet can be challenging at times as they tend to vary from class to class, teacher to teacher. The variation introduces you to only some of the 84 million yoga posture variations known to exist. This is a beginner level class. Experienced students are instructed on the more advanced modifications during the class which allows you to also be witness to the depths of many asanas.

Hot Yoga Barkan

Level: Beginning Yoga Series (Great for New Students)

• Well Balanced Workout
• Upper Body Work
• Hip Opening
• Cardiovascular Challenging

This is a wonderful class choice for the beginner student to start. Developed by Jimmy Barkan, this class is a true evolution of hot hatha yoga practice. One of the nation’s premiere hot yoga teachers, Jimmy finds his roots in the tradition of Paramahansa Yogananda & Bishnu Ghosh, the innovators of hot yoga and Bikram Choudhury, who brought this style of yoga to the United States. Bikram taught Jimmy Barkan in California in the early 80’s and considered him one of his most senior teachers.

The Barkan Method finds its roots from this lineage in Calcutta, but also integrates postures from other styles of yoga to create variations and even greater range of motion. The yoga classes are practiced in a heated room to stretch and strengthen various areas of the body. The practice brings vital balance and restores all systems to optimal health. Consistency will create a physical, mental and spiritual harmony that will be felt in all areas of the practitioner’s life.

Compose

Sacred Music

Although a very challenging class, in this Sacred Music class we dim the lights very low and play soothing and inspiring music to a Bikram-style class. This class allows students to focus more on the mental and spiritual aspects of the practice while still receiving the physical benefits. Verbal instruction is minimal, therefore we ask that you take at least 10 hot yoga classes and are familiar with our sequences and poses before attending the Compose class.

The increased focus on the soulful aspect of each asana, allows you to express yourself and go beyond the physical aspect of each pose to find a deeper yoga in the mental and spiritual realms of the practice. It will take your yoga practice to another level and teaches you that we can let go of the expectations and the ego-driven "a pose has to look and feel this way" attitude, we can find a beautiful peace and honesty within ourselves.

Mini Mighty Kids yoga

It is our Kids yoga fun… Joyful, playful self-expression for kids!

Children have different needs, respond to different stimuli, and learn in different ways. Our kids’ class offers nontraditional yoga classes: invigorating, interactive, imaginative journeys into your child’s developing mind, body, and spirit.

Each yoga practice is built from the ground up, creating an exclusively child-based practice and giving children the sometimes rare opportunity to just be kids within the context of yoga asana and meditation.

Busy lifestyles are commonplace for today’s kids due to a combination of factors including varied caregivers, over stimulation, academic and social pressure and full schedules. As a result, many kids are “maxed out” and many parents are seeking ways to help reduce stress and have fun with their kids.

Beyond the well-known benefits such as increasing strength, flexibility, and concentration, yoga is non-competitive and fun! The benefits of yoga for our children include:

Body
• Assists neuromuscular-development
• Encourages motor development on both sides of the body
• Develops a strong and flexible body
• Increases balance, body awareness and coordination
• Reduces injuries and improves performance
• Improves digestion and strengthens the immune system
• Relaxes the body and promotes better sleep

Mind
• Relieves tension and stress
• Increases concentration, focus and attention span
• Promotes thinking and memory
• Stimulates auditory processing and responsiveness
• Calms and quiets the mind
• Reduces stress and anxiety
• Balances a high or low energy child

Spirit
• Builds confidence and self-esteem
• Enhances team skills and social interaction
• Develops discipline and self-control
• Inspires respect for themselves and others
• Enables social interaction and self-expression
• Encourages a fit and healthy lifestyle
• It’s playful and fun!
