Yoga

Below, find a full list of the types of yoga classes we offer. Class levels are noted by *’s, one star being gentle and 3 stars being most vigorous.

For safety & sanitary purposes, we recommend having your own personal yoga mat. It’s important to make sure the mat is solid and doesn’t shift when you move on it. Quality manduka mats are great! If you’re not sure, we have some to use free of charge while you’re getting a feel for things.

Gentle Yoga in Seymour, CT

Gentle/Beginners Yoga *

This class is ideal for all levels. A centering practice of pranayma (breath) and meditation is followed by a warm up that prepares the body and mind to deepen into the practice. A series of postures that are energizing are then followed by a relaxation to calm the mind. A great balance of stretching and strengthening is utilized to achieve optimal physical and mental health. This class is open to all levels from beginner and beyond who are injury free.

Flow/Yin Yoga *

Using the traditional breath of hatha yoga, we will flow gracefully and gently. We will then move to the yin practice, where we will deepen into the postures and explore sensation in the body. In yin, poses are held 2-5 mins. These poses are mostly forward folds and seated postures. This class is appropriate for all levels who are in good health and are injury free.

Heated Vinyasa **

This class is set at a cozy 85 degrees, and is designed for those with a basic understanding of yoga poses and a consistent practice. This invigorating flow encourages you to sweat away your worries, as you seamlessly connect breath with movement. Experience the warmth enveloping your body while deepening your practice, enhancing flexibility, and cultivating mindfulness. Embrace the heat and let it guide you through a transformative journey on your mat. Perfect for those looking to elevate their practice in a nurturing environment!

Moderate Yoga **

This class is ideal for all levels from the fit beginner with some yoga experience and beyond. A centering practice is followed by a warm up that prepares the body and mind to deepen into the practice. A series of postures that are energizing are then followed by a relaxation to calm the mind. A great balance of stretching and strengthening is utilized to achieve optimal physical and mental well being. This class is moderate level, so it is a little more vigorous than "all levels yoga," but not as vigorous as Vinyasa.

All Levels Yoga **

This class focuses on uniting movement with breath as we flow through a warm up, dynamic movement, sun salutations (flow,) standing and balancing postures, and then enter into a cool down and guided rest (savasana.) Modifications will be given for simplifying or amplifying your practice to meet you at your level!

Kundalini Yoga **

Kundalini is known as the yoga of awareness and the mother of all yogas. It's the whole pie, combining the 22 pieces of yoga. Kundalini combines postures (asana), breath work, (pranayama), chanting (mantra), and meditations. It accelerates the energy of the body / mind to create an elevated state which causes deep relaxation with clarity and alertness. This is a yoga for the everyday householder, allowing breakthroughs and stillness in a short amount of time.

Vinyasa Yoga (Flow Yoga) ***

In Vinyasa, we will move smoothly through our movements linked by ujayi breath. This flow practice moves mindfully and powerfully. Some knowledge of poses is assumed as this is not a beginner level class. We will build both strength and balance on the yoga mat through pranayama (breath work) and asana (yoga poses.) No two classes are ever alike! This class is open to those with some yoga experience - advanced who are injury free.

Yoga with Weights **

Yoga with Weights blends traditional yoga postures with light strength training to build stability, tone muscles, and enhance endurance. This dynamic class helps improve balance and alignment while adding a fun, challenging twist to your practice. All levels are welcome, with modifications offered throughout.

Stretch & Unstress **

Escape the chaos of your busy life with our Stretch and Unstress Yoga class, designed specifically for those who juggle multiple responsibilities and need a moment to breathe. This gentle, mindful slow flow begins with standing poses that promote balance and grounding, allowing you to release tension and reconnect with your body. As you transition into seated stretches, you'll cultivate flexibility and relaxation, helping to ease the stress accumulated throughout your day.
