Gentle yoga: Gentle Yoga is just that...gentle. A common misperception is that one must be "flexible" in order to do yoga. That is just not true! Every body, no matter the age, weight, flexibility, or fitness level, benefits from this highly assessable practice. It is designed to systematically open tight places from head to toe allowing fresh blood to flow into creaky joints, gently strengthening and lengthening muscle tissue, and calming your busy mind. Besides all the multiple health benefits this practice will teach you to find comfort and ease in the body that you have...right now, as is.
Power yoga: Power yoga is a blast!! Give it a try! This healthy practice is both friendly and challenging for all bodies, all ages, all levels of experience, fitness and flexibility. NO pretzel poses!! Easily assessable modifications for every single pose. "Power yoga is an amazing form of fitness that sculpts strong, healthy bodies. The results are dramatic because it is a whole body system, using full body movements that encourage the body to move as nature intended... You will stand taller and look sleeker, straighter, and leaner. In time, you will awaken in a whole new body."- Baron Baptiste.
