Introduction to Power Vinyasa
This series is designed for beginners or students new to Power Vinyasa Yoga. This style of yoga has its foundation in Ashtanga yoga which is a physically demanding practice that builds strength, flexibility, and stamina. The Intro series consists of eight or six 75-minute classes taught in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Each class will build upon the previous, allowing time for discussion and modifications. We will introduce yoga philosophy and breath-work while practicing the basic postures. Our focus is always a safe, solid understanding of the practice. This series may be repeated and will gradually prepare students for our regular Power Vinyasa and Vinyasa Flow classes. Please pre-register under workshops.
Power Vinyasa
This is a physically challenging class based on the principles of Power Vinyasa Yoga. This energizing practice offers a dynamic mix of sweat and spirit and is full of possibilities for both strength and surrender. We use ujjayi breath to focus and increase mental clarity, sun salutations and creative sequencing to build strength, and intention to tap into our inner power and greater consciousness. Be prepared to discover your best self...and to sweat!
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa means "connecting movement with breath." This invigorating practice will connect you to the wisdom, strength and grace of your body through creative sequencing. Sun Salutations warm the body and mindful breath focuses the mind. Explore this refreshing class to bring intention and balance into your life.
Gentle Yoga
In this gentle yoga practice, movements are synchronized with the breath, turning rigidity into fluidity. With the breath as our guide we "go with the flow". Periodic pauses are taken as we rest in a more passive pose (asana). The emphasis in this class is on de-stressing the body and mind. Gentle yoga is very therapeutic in nature and is appropriate for those wanting a more restful, restorative practice.
Hot Hatha
This 65 minute practice is designed to be fun, energizing and challenging. Our Hot Hatha series consists of breathing exercises and postures designed to exercise your entire body - muscles, joints, organs and glands. This practice builds both mental and physical strength. It increases endurance in the cardiovascular system and enhances productivity in the circulatory system. Postures use compression twists and holds that focus on the body's key organs for digestion and elimination which tones cleanses and strengthens these systems. Our studio is heated with Infra-Red heaters. The heat facilitates deep stretching, initiates detoxification and encourages mental strength. Although this class is challenging, modifications and rest are encouraged. Hot Hatha yoga is perfect for the athlete, beginner or seasoned practitioner that wants to explore another way to challenge themselves on the mat. Be prepared to sweat!

Advanced Vinyasa
This is a powerful, challenging practice of advanced vinyasa movement. Unique sequencing intelligently links poses with breath in a graceful, precise flow. This class offers numerous opportunities to incorporate inversions and intensifiers (where appropriate) into the creatively inspiring flow. Tripsichore (pronounced trip-sic-uh-ree) and Universal Yoga sequencing will ocassionally be incorporated into this Advanced Power Vinyasa Class.
Vinyasa Yoga +Nidra
This class is an opportunity to experience the rejuvenating flow of vinyasa yoga and the restorative value of yoga nidra. Yoga nidra is an ancient practice that is intended to induce full-body relaxation and a deep meditative state of consciousness.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a yoga practice that is complimentary to all yoga practices, especially the more dynamic vinyasa yoga that is practiced at Yogabliss. Yin yoga uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body -the tendons, ligaments and cartilage- that are difficult to energize and open. This deep, passive practice settles you into poses for 3-10 minutes, bringing you inward. Yin yoga increases flexibility, especially in the spine and hips and is very restorative and rehabilitative for the joints and muscles. It also emphasizes stillness and silence, as it prepares both the body and the mind for deeper experiences in meditation.
Yoga For Healing
Yoga for Healing will guide you on a journey of self-healing through the process of movement, breathing, relaxation and deep self inquiry. The student will learn yoga techniques for healthy movement, pain reduction, stress relief, immune support, and more. Guidance is given on how to apply techniques to daily life. The 10-student limit ensures that each student is given personal attention with adaptations of the exercises according to individual needs. You will come away from the class feeling stronger, more energetic, hopeful, focused and relaxed. Prerequisite Notes: An intake form needs to be filled out prior to attending first class.
