Chair Yoga is a general term for practices that modify yoga poses so that they can be done while seated in a chair. These modifications make yoga accessible to people who cannot stand or lack the mobility to move easily from standing to seated to supine positions. Many of the basic body mechanics of the individual postures are retained, no matter the stance of the practitioner. While seated on chairs, students can do versions of twists, hip stretches, forward bends, and mild back bends. Chair Yoga is offered on Thursdays at 4:50pm. Please refer to the Registration form for pricing.  Instructor: Jennifer Shide.

Basic Yoga - Basic yoga is for those who need something a little more challenging than Chair Yoga but not as challenging as Faithful Yoga. Basic Yoga is offered on Thursdays at 4:00pm. Instructor: Jennifer Shide

Faithful Yoga  improves flexibility and focus by integrating Christian spirituality with the practice of yoga. Classes are offered Thursday at 5:40pm.  Please refer to the Registration form for pricing.  Instructor: Jennifer Shide.

Restorative Yoga is a practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching. If you take a restorative class, you may hardly move at all, doing just a few postures in the course of an hour. It is a completely different experience than most contemporary yoga.
During the long holds of restorative yoga, however, your muscles are allowed to relax deeply. It's a unique feeling because props, rather than your muscles, are used to support your body. Restorative classes are very mellow, making them a good complement to more active practices and an excellent antidote to stress. Restorative Yoga is offered on Monday at 8:30 am.  Please refer to the Registration form for pricing.  Instructor: Paul Black

AMPLIFY is designed to increase your strength and vitality through unique workouts focusing on CORE, STRENGTH and CARDIO training. Perfect for working professionals or busy moms with children!  Classes are Monday - Friday from 5:15 - 6:00 am. Please refer to the registration form for pricing. Instructor: Anne Schoenauer.
