Anusara-Inspired™ Yoga - Anusara yoga is an elegant system of Hatha yoga which focuses on a philosophy of intrinsic goodness within each of us. Anusara Yoga teachers help enhance and reveal the beauty and divine qualities that are already present in students' poses through the concise set of alignment principals called the "Universal Principles of Alignment™". Although there are no set postural routines in Anusara Yoga, classes are designed using principles of sequencing so each class will be different and students of all levels advance in their practice. Every class will include instruction on breath and alignment. Mondays 7:15-8:45pm - Patricia S Anusara Yoga™ - Anusara, simply translated, means "flowing with grace." Anusara Yoga is heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring yoga, grounded in a set of Universal Principles of Alignment for both the inner and outer body.

Mom (or Dad) & Baby Yoga - Parent & Baby Yoga classes provide parents (or caretakers) a place to explore the physical and emotional joys and challenges of caring for an infant. Asana (yoga postures) focus on core/abdominal rehabilitation to assist with postpartum healing and ongoing self-care. Breathwork and meditation combine to support the emotional (and often hormonal) adjustment to life with an infant. Each class begins and ends with a time for mothers and babies to connect in a community. While the class focus is primarily on the parent, infant massage and developmentally appropriate movement patterns are woven into each session to support bonding and infant development.
