power vinyasaThis class is designed to improve your strength, flexibility, balance and cardiovascular health by combining flowing asana movement and conscious breathing.

prenatal yogaDesigned to be practiced at any point during pregnancy, prenatal yoga can help alleviate many related discomforts such as nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, back and joint pain, and sciatica. Prenatal yoga helps strengthen the uterus and pelvic muscles, combat fatigue, improve circulation and digestion, expand breathing capacity, and reduce stress. Linking yoga postures with the breath will lead you to new discoveries, bringing awareness to the mind, body, and spirit—and also the spirit of your baby.
