Hatha
Hatha Yoga is a slower paced class than vinyasa. Students perform a series of asanas, or postures, that allow for a well-balanced, strengthening and stretching throughout the entire body. Students stay in postures for longer periods than in flow classes, allowing for deep stretching and strength building within the musculature and adequate time to work on postural alignment and the breath.
Hatha Flow
In this class students will be guided through a series of asanas designed to reduce tension in the body, create flexibility and strength and promote focus in the practitioner. Suitable for all levels as modifications are offered to either make the flow more challenging or relaxing. Excellent venue for experiencing the process of precision and alignment with yoga. All levels encouraged to attend.
Fletcher Mat Pilates
The Fletcher Pilates method is intended to preserve the inspired evolution of Body Contrology, the work of Joseph and Clara Pilates, as expressed by Ron Fletcher. It is taught in order to mentor others in the physical transformation that leads from strength to balance to grace. Benefits of Fletcher matwork include enhanced spinal articulation, strengthening the core and coordination of the extremities, increased flexibility through muscular control, and increased spatial awareness through direction change and use of focus. At the core of Fletcher Pilates is movement and breath, conjoining the 2 to work together. Matwork includes movements standing, sitting, lying face up and facedown to engage the core and work the extremities, as well as enhance pelvic stabilization and spinal control. “Movement should be approached like life- with enthusiasm, joy, and gratitude- for movement is life, and life is movement, and we get out of it what we put into it.” –Ron Fletcher
