Samadhi yoga classes vary in style and the level of difficulty or ease. Every teacher has their own unique flavor of teaching and all hold a piece of the same thread of heart-centered compassion and sharing tools for personal fulfillment and empowerment. We believe it is important to sample a variety of classes and teachers. Sometimes we find that we connect deeply to one teacher for a period of time and then perhaps move on to share the wisdom of another. Every teacher has something different to offer. We invite you to sample our classes and teachers, but also to experiment with other schools. Allow us to help you find the class that best suits your needs at this time.

‘Align and Flow’ classes marry clear alignment direction with strength building, flow and breath work to provide a well balanced class.

Eye of the Tigress is an Intermed/Advanced two hour guided practice for teachers and students who are looking for more a challenge on the mat.  The weekly practice consists of timings and repetitions of level 2 & 3 poses.  A flow practice into Standing poses, Inversions, Arm Balancing, Hip Openers and Back bends just to name a few! No beginners please, you must be able to kick up to handstand at the wall by yourself, as well as push up to full wheel in the middle of the room with straight arms.

Vinyasa Yoga cultivates awareness through the combination of movement in the body connected with conscious breathing. This practice provides a well rounded approach to maintaining health in the body working on strength, flexibility, endurance, balance, coordination and the ability to focus. Vinyasa Yoga offers students a faster paced practice where breath supports and guides you through each pose creating a mindful practice that opens one up to a meditative state of being and beautiful connection with the body, mind and spirit.

Adaptive yoga is a practice that strengthens the connection between the mind and the body. Among the many benefits are increased flexibility, greater sense of balance, increased strength, mental clarity, and overall well-being. This adaptive class is designed for traumatic brain injury survivors and is appropriate for all levels of ability. With the support of TBIAlive, together we will create a supportive community that will allow us to explore practices that invite healing and peace into the body, mind and spirit.

The Yin-Yang relationship is one of ultimate balance. In this style students learn to surrender into stillness and energetically utilize muscle. A Yin-Yang practice allows the muscles to warm up, lubricate, and keeps individuals from trying to push the self into various postures, thus  decreasing any chance of injury. This form of yoga allows individuals  to cultivate a certain wholeness as it allows energy to flow at a deeper level with less effort. It connects meditation and asana on a very different level and lets you explore your own edges.

Gentle vinyasa yoga is appropriate for students who enjoy and desire a slower paced yoga practice. These classes are designed to give detailed instruction and to be less physically challenging than other vinyasa classes. Gentle vinyasa yoga classes will allow the student to gain strength and flexibility at their own pace with safety and alignment as the main focus.

A more tranquil approach to the traditional Vinyasa Yoga format, by candlelight. Rejuvenate your natural rhythm & harmony, improve strength & flexibility, dissolve tension and experience a deep sense of well-being that will support you well after the session is over.  Guided by the breath and our own powerful intention, we unite mind, body & spirit, and infuse our whole being with life-giving energy.

Less active than most Vinyasa classes, this introspective practice strikes a balance between movement & stillness, strength & surrender, leaving you open, refreshed and at peace.

Pleasure is always derived from something outside you, whereas joy arises from within ~ Eckhart Tolle

…to open our hearts and flow with Grace

“The vision of Anusara is grounded in a Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness. In this philosophy we take the premise that everything in this world is an embodiment of Supreme Consciousness, which at its essence pulsates with goodness and the highest bliss. All of creation is divinely danced into existence for the simple delight and the play of embodying the Supreme’s own blissful nature.

The highest intention of practicing Anusara Yoga is to align with the Divine. As we deepen our alignment with the Supreme, we step deeper into the flow of Grace. It is through the revelatory power of Grace that we awaken to the truth that this Divine flow is our essential nature. This higher knowledge naturally fuels our deepest desire to lovingly serve the creative flow of life through each breath and posture in our yoga practice. On our yoga mat we artistically offer our individual light and our unique music with the heartfelt prayer of adding more beauty, love, and goodness to the world.” – www.Anusara.com

…through Anusara, we experience our inner worth, we align our bodies, our minds and hearts with the current of the Divine flowing through us, we celebrate life itself as we touch the Divinity who pulsates within us as our every thought, feeling, and experience. – Dr. Douglas Brooks

In power yoga we seek to cultivate shakti a Sanskrit word meaning “to be able.” Shakti represents the sacred force of empowerment. These classes provide a challenging yet accessible yoga practice for all levels; modified versions of more difficult postures will always be given. Power yoga emphasizes the use of ujiayi breathing, generating an internal heat within the body to purify body, mind and spirit. After class you will feel strengthened, empowered and ready for what life has to offer you!

Anusara Flow incorporates a Vinyasa like style of using breath, movement and creative sequencing to link postures together while staying true to the foundation of Anusara yoga’s alignment based postures and heart opening philosophy.

Jivamukti (“Jiva”= individual soul, “mukti”= liberation while living) Yoga, founded by David Life and Sharon Gannon, honors the lineage of Ashtanga Yoga, The Eight Limb Path.  Jivamukti classes focus on liberation of the individual soul/spirit and honors the interconnectedness between all beings, all things.  Jivamukti classes include meditation, pranayama (breathing exercises), spiritual teachings based on the yoga scriptures, a mix of challenging and restorative yoga asanas (postures) such as heart opening backbends, inversions, twists, forward folds and hip openers, chanting and mantra education to facilitate the energy flow of prana to rise up and awaken the Divine consciousness, seated in the heart.

Jivamukti sequencing starts with meditation and pranayama, then goes into surya namaskar (flow) to ignite the agni (internal heat, fire) for purification, then into  deep asanas, twists, balancing postures,  inversions, spine strengthening, hip opening,  then journeys into restorative asanas to facilitate peace and receptivity to Grace,  and concludes with delicious and nuturing savasanas and meditations.  Jivamukti yoga classes will also include descriptions into why we are doing what we are doing in the yoga practice and explain yoga’s physical, emotional, mental and spiritual benefits.

This class is inspired by the Plum Village tradition of Engaged Buddhism as founded by the Venerable Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn.

The asana portion of the class is conducted slowly, mindfully, and infused with dharmic guidance such as stopping and looking deeply into the nature of the body, appreciating the group of practitioners, observing the miracle of breathing, inviting the bell to sound, and similar awareness practices. Asana is conducted with great respect for the yogic tradition, awareness of Ayurveda, and solid biomechanical support. Approximately 40 minutes are devoted to asana practice, 15 minutes to deep relaxation, and 20 minutes to sitting meditation.

This class provides all the physiological benefits of exercise, soothes the nervous system and mind from over-stimulation, and helps practitioners access true peace and insight.

Yoga Nidra means Yogic Sleep and refers to the conscious awareness of the Deep Sleep state. In Yoga Nidra you leave the waking state, go past the dreaming state and then go to deep sleep, yet remain awake. The state of yoga nidra is deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Time spend in yoga nidra opens us to deeper clarity. It is one of the deepest of all meditations, leading us to supreme stillness and insight. I invite you to come and allow Jeremy to guide you into a deeply restful and revitaling pracice. This is where the nectar lies. Deep within in you is and ocean of Amruta, Nectar of the Gods. Through deep surrender, the heart opens and a river of this Amruta flows from the heart. Live in Bliss.

This restorative “inner-body” yoga uses a series of guided visualizations and deep relaxation techniques to move beyond the conditioned mind into a state of expanded self-awareness. Access to the deeper realms of the mind allows us to release the sources of tension, anxiety, unwanted habits, and self-limiting beliefs and to awaken our greatest inner potential. Each class begins with 10 minutes of gentle, meditative asana, with the majority of the practice performed in savasana (corpse pose).

Forrest Yoga helps you connect to your core – getting strong and centered. It uses deep breathing techniques and vigorous yoga sequences to sweat out toxins.

This class is inspired by the Plum Village tradition of Engaged Buddhism as founded by the Venerable Zen Master Thich Nhat Hahn. Whenever possible, we practice in a circle, and if we wish, share something about our path such as an insight, a joy, an intention, etc. The asana portion of the class is conducted slowly, mindfully, and infused with dharmic guidance such as stopping and looking deeply into the nature of the body, appreciating the group of practitioners, observing the miracle of breathing, inviting the bell to sound, and similar awareness practices. Asana is conducted with great respect for the yogic tradition, awareness of Ayurveda, and solid biomechanical support. This class reaches beyond personal transformation by supporting us to build mindful community, speak our truth, share our wisdom, and support our faith in one another.

Classes listed as YOGA on the schedule are designed to take you deeply into your practice by using detailed alignment coupled with language to source the sacred tones of the practice.  YOGA classes are challenging while being available to anyone who wishes to engage at a deeper level of commitment.  These classes are creatively structured to provide clear and aligned openings in the body, a chance to clear the mind and the heart of old and stuck patterns, and engage the sacred in the everyday life of the student.

Kundalini Yoga focuses on awakening the living energy that rests dormant in the base of the spine through specific breathing, movements, stretching, meditation and chanting; all in precise sequence. This ancient and sacred practice was kept secret by advanced yogis until recently because of its power to wake the kundalini and allow for enlightenment in this lifetime. It must be practiced with care and intent. Your Samadhi teachers teach with the utmost integrity and dedication to the practice as taught by Yogi Bhajan.

A typical Kundalini yoga class will start and end with the most beautiful and ancient chants which open and calm the heart. Then we proceed with a carefully planned sequence of postures, movements and breathing exercises that bring about quick and powerful transformation on all levels.

All is in you. You are the storehouse of your totality. ~ Yogi Bhajan

A quiet yet profound and highly therapeutic style of yoga that is available to all students at all levels. The power of Yin is in its long-held relaxed floor postures. This kind of stretch stimulates the deep, connective “Yin” tissues of the body, affecting not only the physical body, but also energetic aspects of the self. Yin yoga strengthens the flow of prana (life force) or chi, maintains the health of the meridian system of the body, and as an additional bonus contributes to the mindfulness necessary for a successful meditation practice. It is a logical balance to dynamic, muscular, “yang” forms of yoga and/ or strenuous exercise. It is excellent for students looking to advance deeper into their practice as individuals are challenged to sit in the pure presence of awareness.

The word “puja” comes from the ancient Sanskrit language and it means, “to manifest the highest merit” and “to adore”. In a puja, we sing mantras, make offerings and give praise to a particular universal energy that is represented in the form of a diety. This universal energy is an elemental piece of our own soul. In performing puja, we develop the qualities of the diety in ourselves and in our environment. Puja is a sweet devotional practice which is being offered to anyone who wishes to participate and/or observe.
