Go Beyond the Mat: Discover the Roots of Your Practice

Ready to take your yoga practice to the next level? Join us for our new 4-month series: Ashtanga Primary Series: Monthly Deep Dive.

Modern Vinyasa has a home, and it’s found in the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga (Yoga Chikitsa). Once a month, we are stepping away from the "workout" and moving toward the "work-in." This series is designed for practitioners who want to understand the why behind the how.

In this 4-part series, we will explore:

  • The Lineage: Connect with the traditional roots of modern flow.

  • The Details: Master the connection between breath, bandha (internal locks), and drishti (gaze).

  • The Mastery: Refine transitions and foundational postures with mindful pacing and expert alignment cues.

Whether you are new to Ashtanga or a seasoned practitioner, this supportive environment offers the space to refine your technique and deepen your connection to the practice.

Sound Bath - Crystal Bowl Sound Healing with Ian

Attending a sound bath can offer numerous benefits for both mental and physical well-being. The immersive experience utilizes resonant sounds from instruments like singing bowls and gongs to induce a deep state of relaxation, calming the nervous system and reducing stress. This can lead to improved sleep quality as the soothing sounds alter brainwave patterns. Many also report enhanced emotional well-being, experiencing a release of negative emotions and a more positive outlook.

Join Ian for this special event to calm the mind and improve your focus and mental clarity, allowing for a greater sense of inner peace and balance. See you there!

Bring your mat, props, bolsters, blankets, and cozy items to make the most out of this special appearance.

First Tuesday of the Month ~

Gentle Flow with Yin & Reiki

Yin & Reiki is a special self-care yoga class that combines the calming energy of Yin Yoga postures with the healing energy of Reiki.

This class offers a unique blend of physical release through Yin Yoga and energetic restoration through Reiki, providing a comprehensive self-care experience designed for deep renewal. The emphasis on energy work and reduced spoken words creates a tranquil environment, allowing participants to fully immerse themselves in healing and restoration.

What is Yin? Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods, typically three to five minutes or more. It targets the deep connective tissues of the body, like ligaments, joints, bones, and fascia, promoting increased flexibility and a sense of calm.

What is Reiki? Reiki is a Japanese energy healing technique based on the principle that the practitioner can channel universal life energy into the client by means of touch, to activate the natural healing processes of the client's body and restore physical and emotional well-being. It is often described as a gentle, hands-on healing modality that promotes relaxation and stress reduction.

Next Reiki Class: December 2nd & January 6th

friday Near the End of the Month ~ Extended Yin Class

A 75-minute yin yoga class generally offers more benefits than a 60-minute class due to the extended time allowing for deeper physical, mental, and energetic effects. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which is a foundational aspect of yin yoga, longer holds in specific poses can help to stimulate and clear blockages in the body's energy channels or meridians. A 75-minute class offers more time to target these pathways, promoting a better flow of "chi" or life force energy throughout the body. Other perks to this longer class include:

Increased Flexibility and Joint Mobility

Enhanced Mental and Emotional Benefits

Deeper Stillness and Mindfulness

Greater Opportunity for Emotional Release

Calming the Nervous System

Improved Energetic Flow

December Class: 12/19 - Sign up here
