YOGA: STREAMING Live + In-STUDIO
These challenging times are calling us all to take care of ourselves in new and different ways.
We are now a hybrid studio with In-Studio + Streaming Live classes at the same time.
At Imagine Yoga our intention is to create different experiences for you to gain knowledge about your self-care, your yoga practice and a healthy lifestyle. We have created a place and platform for community to thrive in the midst changing and challenging times. Streaming on-line will be integrated into the vision of Imagine Yoga as we grow our on-line clientele in new and exciting ways.
In addition to yoga classes available for every level, we also offer therapeutic movement, meditation, and unique and informative Gatherings! Whether you are looking to relax in a yoga class, heal in a movement class, or learn something new, there is always something interesting happening at Imagine Yoga.
Learning alignment, the asanas (poses) and breathing techniques develop a healthy and solid practice, but yoga is also about self-discovery. Taking the time to listen to your body thus forming a friendlier, more generous relationship with yourself on and off the mat is beneficial to every aspect of life.
Know your body. Follow your intuition. Bring clarity to your mind. Nourish your spirit and soul.
VINYASA FLOW
Vinyasa is a dynamic and a traditional style of yoga that uses Sun Salutations and Ujjayi Pranayama breathing to link poses into a creative and continuous flow. This practice cultivates awareness, mindfulness, and presence. Sequencing and poses are alignment oriented, which develops strength, flexibility and balance in equal proportions. Appropriate modifications and use of props are introduced and emphasized. The schedule will have 1 hour classes as well as 1 hour and 15 minutes classes. You can make choices on how you want to practice and create a process of learning as you build a safe and creative practice.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
The healing and relaxation of Guided Restorative Yoga & Sound (Singing Bowls) embraces the mind, body and spirit. The restorative poses support sensations within the body consciousness that connect to the qualities of responsive relaxation, compassion and the creative nature of self. Working with sound is an ancient form of regeneration. The bowls harmonize and allow a deep relaxation to both sides of the brain. The beautiful sound and vibration of bowls continues to float for a long time after they have been played.
Benefits of Restorative Meditation & Sound:
* Quiets the mind
* Deep relaxation and muscle relaxation
* Balances the nervous system
* Boosts the immune system
FLOW & DEEP STRETCH
Calm and therapeutic in nature, this class is structured to explore the physical space created in the body with longer held stretches, breath focused flow, and mindful awareness. The class begins with connecting breath and movement and leads into an intelligent sequence with deep stretching. It soothes the spirit and is beneficial for stress relief, of feeling more synchronized in your body and mind, and cultivates an overall sense of well-being.
YIN YOGA
Yin Yoga is a nourishing, soothing, slow, sensory-filled practice that not only helps pacify and down-regulate the nervous system, allowing one to deeply relax, but also lengthens, strengthens, and stabilizes one’s connective tissue, or fascia. Yin is about meeting yourself, mind/body/spirit, at the very beginning of sensation within a pose, stopping to find stillness, and softening there with the support of comfortable props. By moving to points of barely-there sensation within each pose, one can find great benefits such as: hydration of connective tissues allowing for greater ease of movement, increased long-term range of motion, movement of stagnant energy, release toxins, and a deep sense of being restored.
GENTLE YOGA
Gentle Yoga class introduces the fundamental principles of alignment and works in a sequence postures linked together with the breath. Students will learn the asanas (yoga poses)by verbal description and physical demonstration.
We focus on kinesthetic understanding, safety and stability with each pose. Gradually the press are linked together into a gentle flowing sequence. This class is designed to meet the needs of those new to yoga as well as those seeking continued understanding of basic yoga poses.
FLOW & RESTORE
Flow & Restore blends Vinyasa Flow and Restorative Yoga together. We will work on Core Awareness and a sequence that addresses stability and mobility. Then move into one or two restorative poses. This class creates balance between a Yang and Yin practice. The Vinyasa is the Yang practice and Yin is the Restorative practice. Together they strengthen and sooth the nervous system.
VINYASA FOUNDATION
A slower paced class that focuses on correct alignment to get the most from your yoga practice. It is a flow yoga-based class aimed at focusing on creating a solid FOUNDATION. We take the time to look at the alignment within poses and how that functionally connects with your body. There will be options offered to modify depending on your needs. To end the class, guidance on breath control (pranayama) and relaxation will help to bring a sense of calm and well-being to the body and mind. Suitable for all levels including those completely new to yoga as well as being useful for students who want to step back from a faster flow to work on alignment.
SLOW FLOW VINYASA
Slow Flow Vinyasa is both for the beginner and advanced practitioner. Slow Flow brings in the element of time to the practice. The practitioner has time to sense and feel when a pose can be modified or when a pose can be deepened. The mind/body connection is the man goal when practicing yoga. Slow Flow Vinyasa explores one's personal limitations within their practice and also gives time and space for deepening the exploration in a pose. The breath and transitions between poses are highly emphasized. It feels good to slow down and is healthy for the body.
MEDITATION CLASS
Remember the way to return to you. In this space we will make conscious and smooth movements with our body to calm the mind and enter a meditative state. We will use conscious breathing techniques, mantras, mudras and visualization to reduce anxiety and connect more with the wisdom of our body. Beginners welcome.
