Anahata - Anahata is the Sanskrit word for heart chakra. It means unhurt, unbeaten, unstruck. Anahata Yoga was designed to bring students to a higher level of awareness – to deeply connect, expand, and awaken their hearts: through asanas, pranayama, and meditation. Many of the poses selected are to help open, expand and improve the anatomical posture. This well –balanced class offers a gentle and meditative approach to gain a deeper understanding of traditional yoga. Anahata yoga can be a great addition to the workout that you are currently doing and provides you a way to de-stress. There is a short meditation to quiet the mind, and a gentle neck massage with aromatherapy at the end to encourage relaxation.
Yin - Yin Yoga is known as the quiet yoga. Many of the most popular forms of yoga are fundamentally yang in nature, based on rhythmic movement of the muscle. Yin, in contrast concentrates on connective tissue and tendons, which are critical to our physical well being and range of motion. The postures are all practiced in the floor and each is held for a lengthy period, usually 3-5 minutes. As a result, the body is energized, encouraging a free flow of chi. Yin yoga is a gentle practice that can bring your body back into a balanced state after a weekend of intense activity. It teaches you to relax and accept yourself for who you are in the present moment. Yin practice is a gift you give your body, mind and spirit to renew energy and connect to the breath.
