Gentle Hatha Yoga:

This is a class for both new and continuing yoga students. We will focus on flexibility, breath, balance and incorporate postures that allow us to stretch and fully use our bodies in a supportive atmosphere with individually modified poses.  This gentle and slower paced approach make it more accessible to people of all sizes, ages, and fitness levels.  It is non-competitive and most positions are easily modified to fit the individual needs of the practitioner.

Yoga has been around for over 5,000 years and has proven itself to be a valuable complimentary approach to healing and nurturing the mind, body and spirit. Our style of yoga is not about twisting yourself into a pretzel; it is about gentle, slow moving postures that bring health, enjoyment, and well being into your life. 

Grandmaster Han's Martial Arts:

Grandmaster  Man Hee Han is the founder of this martial arts system.  From age 5 to age 95, anyone can train in the Youn Wha Ryu system.

Hatha Bounce:

A refreshingly unique program designed to clear your mind after a stressful week or energize your weekend, using Hatha flow yoga and the exercise ball. This class will teach you to relieve tight muscles with breath and movement, strengthen your core with balancing poses, and calm your thoughts by holding a variety of poses.  During the entire class, you will also work to relieve the hips and lower back, guaranteeing that your new week starts with a relaxed spirit. This is a class for all generations!

Hatha Flow Yoga:

Hatha Flow links the postures practiced in a regular Hatha class into a sequence of movements that "flow" with the breath in a more vigorous series. Hatha Flow involves moving from one posture to another with very little rest in between and creates a strong cardiovascular workout.

Variations on the Sun Salutation are often used as a warm-up, followed by a standing sequence, balancing poses, and then seated poses. As in all Hatha classes, relaxation (Savasana) ends the class. Hatha Flow is open for beginners and continuing students interested in exploring a more movement-oriented class.  Hatha Flow builds strength, endurance, and a strong focus. The classroom is not heated, but the physical practice will naturally build heat in the body.  This practice is joyful, therapeutic, and inspiring.

Daycare is available.

Kettlebell Basics:

The Kettlebell is the ultimate tool for achieving any of your fitness goals.  This fun and dynamic class can replace all your boring exercise equipment including treadmills, barbells/ dumbbells and exercise machines. 

Kettlebell Basics will center on the three core exercises:  The Swing, The Turkish Get-Up, and The Goblet Squat with numerous other drills added for variety.  The primary focus will be the safe use of the Kettlebell to obtain fat loss, toning and conditioning your muscles and improving your overall strength.  This class will train you functional and practical moves to improve your ability to perform all your daily activities with strength and energy to spare. 

Strength Training & Toning:

Strength training programs do much more than just tone and tighten all muscle groups.  They also help you burn fat more efficiently and improve your bone density. During your weight or strength training routine, you’ll not only burn 400 – 600 calories, but also maintain a significant metabolism boost throughout the day.

Free weights are utilized to provide maximum range of motion and correct technique.  (You can bring your own or use what we have available.)  Each muscle group is subjected to high-repetition intervals providing a full-body workout.  Additionally, we will move quickly from one exercise to the next as we work through all the major muscle groups to keep our heart rate elevated.

This class will give you the strength you need to excel at sports, get more out of recreational activities, reduce injuries to your back and joints, and maintain stamina and strength during your daily life.  You’ll build muscles you never even knew you had, while developing core strength that will support you in a wide variety of activities.

Strength training programs are suitable for all levels of fitness and exercise experience.

Daycare is available.

Yoga Pump:

Yoga Pump combines the 5,000 year old tradition of Hatha yoga with the strength training benefits of weight training for an outstanding overall body workout.  Yoga Pump affects every muscle group in the body - developing strength, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.  This class is fun and challenging for students of all levels of fitness and makes a dynamic, yet safe, workout experience that is sure to burn more calories than you can at home.
