Class Descriptions
Our aim with all of our classes is to be radically inclusive and we welcome all sizes, orientations, cultures, and unique dispositions! We simply ask that you are aware of your own physical limitations to help us serve you the best way possible.
How are we different?
Yoga Village is unique not only for our PWYC system but because we encourage our teachers to teach from their own practice and experience. Each of our teachers differs in teaching style, lineage and education, so we've included their descriptions of the classes below!
Balance Flow
* Suitable for all levels |
An exploration of functional movement via a balance-orientated vinyasa flow and set of exercises. The class aims to strengthen the muscles used as our base for balances, and to help students build the confidence and skills to perform some of the more technical balance postures with less effort.
|
Basics
* Suitable for all levels * Pre-reg |
This 6 week "workshop" style course is designed to prepare you with the fundamentals of yoga asana (postures). You'll learn about various types of poses, how to move safely, and modifications for common yoga sequences, like Sun Salutations.
Bring your curiosity & questions, and take all you learn to other classes on the schedule. |
Bliss Yoga
|
Take pause in this busy world to breathe. Reconnect with your body through a dialogue of yoga poses. Bliss Yoga is a multidisciplinary practise that emphasizes body awareness and mindful movement. The classes include the option of essential oils and hands on massage to heighten sensory and emotional awareness. Come and find your bliss!!
|
Chair Yoga
|
We will practice chair and standing yoga postures to increase range of motion and circulation, learn functional strengthening exercises to help with daily activities outside the studio, do some self massage with therapy balls to release tension in key areas of the body, and practice breathing and meditation techniques to soothe the nervous system and reduce stress.
* There are a limited number of Chair Yoga teachers so if Kassandra is sick or unavailable we may need to cancel this class on a rare occasion * |
Core Flow
|
Core Flow is based in asana but also brings in specific core exercises to strength and mobilize the core muscles. Challenging yet accessible to all!
|
Flow
|
This class brings an eclectic mix of breath awareness, yogic philosophy, and a gentle flow. A moving meditation to access the mind-body-spirit connection and to energize and enliven the body. Come flow and feel inspired, soothed and energized!
|
Flow 2
|
Flow 2 classes offer the opportunity to move progressively into deeper and more challenging aspects of the practice in order to build strength, stability and openness in the body, breath and mind. A great option for students with some yoga experience who would like to explore more variety and experimentation within their practice. Come prepared to work but also to deeply restore, as savasana is so much sweeter after a good sweat!
|
Functional Yoga
|
Functional Yoga is a methodical approach to practice, generally focusing on a peak posture using a lens of functional movement and mindfulness. You can expect to practice and learn how to stabilize and strengthen the body using your own weight or with specific props. This class will be a mix of dynamic movement along with gentle stretching, helping you balance your nervous system and leaving you feeling supported and relaxed.
|
Gentle Hatha
|
Gentle Hatha is a practice to calm the nervous system by focusing the mind and body on the present moment. Class consists of yoga postures that are held for longer periods of time allowing your body to settle into each shape. There is a focus on breathwork and meditation throughout class.
|
Groove:
|
The Groove experience is a fully integrated dance workout to a fabulous fusion of world music and styles. In Groove you work from the inside out to condition your physical body, nurture your spirit, and celebrate the uniqueness of YOU.

Hatha Restore
|
This class begins with Hatha poses (a mix of gentle and strong poses) to settle the mind, focusing on expanding the breath, and followed by deep restorative shapes. Hatha poses are curated around the more common poses you'll encounter in most classes, with special attention to alignment. Come as you are, leave feeling rejuvenated and restored.
|
Qi Gong
|
Qigong is an energy based healing practice of moving postures, breathing techniques, and focused intentions. The gentle, rhythmic movements of Qigong can reduce stress, increase vitality and stamina, build the immune system and calm the mind. It has also been found to improve cardiovascular, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic and digestive functions. This class is suitable for all levels and abilities and can be done seated or modified. Through visualization, awareness and increased sensitivity we can become more in balance with our own health, nature and our surroundings and with each other.

|
Restorative
|
This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and help release deeply held tensions from the body and mind. We use props to support the postures, while gently stretching the body.
|
Stretch and Strength
|
The first half of the class begins with a strong focus on core strength and full body conditioning while the second half of class will provide a full-body stretch, deeply stretching out the back, hips and legs. The class will target every muscle group while maintaining proper posture and technique followed by slow, deep stretching poses held for longer periods of time.
Ideal for athletes, runners and cyclists who want to enhance performance and stay injury free. |
