CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
*Classes with an asterisk are beginner-friendly!*
*De-Stress Yoga
Learn to combine breath, movement, and meditation in this gentle, deep stretch approach to Vinyasa yoga. This slower-paced flow class allows time to explore the postures while reducing stress and anxiety. Yoga poses are linked to breath to help cultivate body awareness, inner strength and easeful opening. A good fit for those who are new to yoga, looking to de-stress or wanting to take a Flow class at a calmer pace. Class concludes with an extended Savasana and cold lavender towel.
Vinyasa Flow
A creative and dynamic form of yoga that uses breath to link physical yoga postures. Each class is different and postures are sequenced in a way to help increase flexibility, strengthen and tone muscles, and allow you to tune in to your body’s own rhythm. Variations on the Sun Salutation are often used as a warm-up followed by a standing sequence, balancing poses, seated poses, and a nice, juicy Savasana (relaxation pose). This class builds strength, endurance, and a strong focus. Modifications are offered for those just starting out.
Flow & Glow
Move through active, dynamic sequencing to promote mindfulness and body awareness at a rejuvenating pace. This flow class strings together poses to create sequences that build strength, flexibility and improve balance while challenging your coordination through dynamic movement. This practice incorporates strength building positions like plank and downward dog. Students will create inner freedom as we flow in a challenging, fun way. Class concludes with a sweet Savasana and a cold lavender towel to seal in that yoga glow!
Power Flow
An intermediate/advanced Vinyasa style class composed of intelligent and thoughtful sequencing that will allow you to connect breath with movement for a well rounded Yoga experience. Take your practice to the next level with instruction towards various arm balances, backbends, inversions and creative transitions. Expect dynamic movement with continuous flow and strengthening.
Express Power Flow
An early morning powerful Vinyasa style (45 minute) class that begins with sun salutations, leading into a creative vinyasa flow. Expect dynamic movement with continuous flow and strengthening, as well as instruction toward arm balances and inversions.
Humbled Warriors Yoga is like home. It has all of the things a great studio needs: a beautiful space, convenient class schedules and the BEST teachers. More than that though it is a place of community and comfort that to me has been incredibly valuable over the last 12+ months. SHARON CASS
Yoga Strong
A well-rounded experience of integrating the whole, this practice invites us to stoke the inner fire known as “agni” and expand our capacity for self-awareness. Class begins by connecting to our breath and building heat through sun-salutations then shifts as we flow through creative sequencing and juicy holds designed to strengthen the major muscle groups while releasing tension in the body. This class moves at a slower pace than our Power Vinyasa classes but still incorporates instruction toward arm balances and inversions. Modifications and variations are offered throughout. All levels are welcome; please let the instructor know if you are new to Yoga.
*Yoga Nidra & Vibrational Sound Bath
In a relaxing environment, you will be guided through a sequence of gentle somatic movements to release tension and prepare the body for deep rest. You will then find a comfortable position, giving yourself permission to completely let go and relax your body and mind with awareness.
The practice of Yoga Nidra, accompanied by a vibrational sound bath, will support your transition from doing to being, from effort to ease. Guided imagery will allow you to move into a hypnogogic state – the natural state experienced just before going to sleep. Healing frequencies from the symphonic gong, alchemy crystal bowl, wave, & shamanic drum will be woven together, creating a kaleidoscope of meditative sounds.
*Deep Stretch & Flow
Enjoy the feeling of rejuvenation that arises from a deep stretch practice as you slow down, move from noise to silence, from agitation to calm, from complexity to simplicity. Our deep stretch class begins with a short, grounded flow to gently warm up the body, and is followed by passive holds of 1-4 minutes. This practice will help to create ease in the body and is a great option for runners, cyclists, or anyone dealing with muscle tightness or tension. Perfect for all levels.
*Yin
Yin yoga is a quiet, meditative practice with long, deep holding of passive poses. Using mindful muscle relaxation, yin postures target the connective tissue nourishing joints, ligaments, and fascia promoting the healthy flow of chi (energy). The Yin practice is a wonderful compliment to more vigorous yoga practices or activities such as running, cycling, and hiking. This practice is suitable and encouraged for all levels of practitioners.
*Renew & Restore
Offered on the 2nd Saturday of the month, this hour and a half class focuses on postures and techniques designed to prevent and manage back pain and enhance the health of your back and spine. You will learn postures and techniques to relieve tension in the back body, from the neck to the sacrum, while strengthening your core to support proper alignment. This class is designed to be therapeutic in nature!
* Kundalini Yoga with Sound Healing & Meditation
This class is an introduction to the techniques, mantras, and breath practices of Kundalini Yoga and meditation, with an extended relaxation and gong sound bath. All are encouraged to attend with or without any experience in Yoga or meditation. Time afterward will be held for sharing and integration of the practice.
*Meditation Meet Up
Offered on the 3rd Sunday of each month, this FREE class is an opportunity to learn various types of meditation and mindfulness practices from a rotating cast of teachers. No experience necessary and all are welcome!
*Yoga foundations
Offered in a 6-week series format each quarter, this is a safe space for students who are brand new to Yoga, as well as those who want to grow their practice from a strong foundation of postural alignment & skillful breathing. Strength & flexibility are not required and will be gained through regular attendance. Deepen your breath, tap into inner strength, and become more aware of the relationship between your mind and body. Special attention is paid to learning alignment principles so students can progress safely to intermediate classes. Foundation level classes also teach a need-to-know for all yogis — how to modify poses to fit individual needs.
