Along with its many physical benefits, this practice helps to slow the mind and brings awareness to the outer and inner being, cleansing the body of toxins and deep set emotions.

STRETCH & STRENGTHEN
Instructor: Susan

This class allows time to explore each posture using the breath. We begin with this breath work in a supportive posture to open the diaphragm and soften the mind. Our time is primarily focused on floor work where we linger in deep stretches augmenting our practice with simple movements that build strength in the body as we search for a kind balance of strength and opening to create symmetry and lightness in our practice. Iyengar elements are weaved throughout the class to acknowledge the importance of correct alignment. Props such as blocks/straps and bolsters are a regular part of understanding the support system required to practice safely and guidance is provided to find the pose as it relates to the individual. 


4:30-5:30pm
VINYASA with CORE

In this class there is a strong focus on finding the freedom and beauty that exist once the breath and movement truly become one. Students will begin to find more strength and flexibility through the body while connecting to spirit with intention and the breath.

YOGALATES
Instructor: Carlyn

This Yogalates class is geared towards strengthening the core while at the same time developing more freedom through the body. Each class begins with Pilates inspired core exercises and then moves into a Vinyasa style class. We focus on the core not only to strengthen the abdominals, but also to protect and release the low back, and to help move us more easily and freely as we transition from posture to posture- particularly in a Vinyasa class. Once we access those hard to find lower abdominals, we will begin to feel more support and strength in our standing postures, as well as creating that inner fire in our core centre.

ORGANIC HATHA YOGA
Instructor: Susan

This class allows time to explore each posture using the breath. The class begins with breath work in a supportive posture to open the diaphragm and soften the mind. We explore elements of alignment in each posture to create understanding as we find integrity in the pose. We search for a kind balance of strength and opening to create symmetry and lightness in our practice. This gives meaning to the journey as we linger in the moment. Iyengar elements are weaved throughout the class to acknowledge the importance of correct alignment as it relates to the individual body. Props such as blocks/straps and bolsters are a regular part of understanding the support system required to practice safely and guidance is provided to ensure we find beauty in our practice.

5:30-7:00pm
RESTORATIVE
Instructor: Helene

Please join Helene as she takes you through a meditative journey using blocks, bolsters and other props while in easy and supported asanas to create a blissful sense of well being that is both healing for the body and spirit. The props allow for stretching with minimal effort for maximum relaxation. Recent studies conclude that breath work can create a profound sense of well being and has actually been proven to heal the body. You will leave this experience feeling truly restored.

(The inclusion of the breath work during this class is documented to increase a sense of well being thru increased activity in the left pre-frontal cortex of the brain. This area of the brain is responsible for the release of dopamine and also controls the adrenal glands responsible for such activators as cortisol which may contribute to both weight gain and disease.)

Please Note: Restorative yoga is especially helpful in times when the body is feeling weak, fatigued or stressed and is particularly useful in recovery of illness, injury and surgery.

Restorative postures are sequenced in the second part of the practice based on the changing seasons to restore balance to the central nervous system.

HATHA - ALL Levels
Instructor: Carlyn 

The definition of Vinyasa is linking movement with breath. The size of the movement can vary from sweeping Sun Salutes to the subtle deepening of a forward fold. Find the grace in the flow from one pose to another. Allow yourself to follow the breath deep inside. You can expect music, to move from strong standing poses to deep seated ones, to find space to breathe. 

From her first class more than a decade ago to the ongoing training now...yoga continues to amaze Davian. She believes that we do yoga to work out much more than our muscles, (although that happens), we do yoga to work out the parts of our souls and psyches that allow us to become better people. Better friends, better partners, better neighbors, better strangers...you can learn so much about yourself on the mat.  Davian loves the Vinyasa flow practice for its honesty, you always know if you are connected to the breath...or if you aren't, you always have the opportunity to re-engage.

12:00-1:30pm
HATHA
Instructor: Carlyn

This class moves at a slow, gentle pace, and no two classes are the same. Students will practice a wide variety of asanas moving with the breath to open the body, mind and spirit. Each class begins in Savasana and moves into slow movement awakening all parts of the body. Students are encouraged to move at their own pace, to listen to their bodies and to use their breath as a tool to settle deeper into the postures. It is believed that energy blocks can originate from tight and closed bodies, so the focus of this class is to open the physical body to allow the energy to flow freely. This class is welcome to all levels; those seeking freedom and balance in their physical and energetic bodies.

This is a great class for beginners or intermediates looking to refine and deepen their practice. While the postures are similar to Hatha yoga, Vinyasa is a more vigorous and flowing practice that connects breath to movement.

HATHA - ALL Levels
Instructor: Elissa

Kyneret finds the incredible practice of Yoga to be a fundamental teaching of 'moving into the flow of things'. Yoga can bring us into complete awareness of the moment. It is in this stillness where we find peace, love, joy, creativity, compassion, and healing. When one comes back to this blissful place again and again, balance and harmony are achieved in all aspects of life. Intricately woven into each asana is the concept of self-discovery, as the breath becomes the portal to the depths of our being. This class introduces basic Hatha postures that build strength and vitality, and increase flexibility and stamina, giving students the confidence to venture further into their Yoga practice while allowing them to come back to that center of bliss.
