KUNDALINI YOGA

Kundalini yoga is called the yoga of awareness. It is a dynamic, powerful tool that is designed to give you an experience of your soul. An uplifting blend of spiritual and physical practices, Kundalini yoga incorporates movement, dynamic breathing techniques, meditation, and the chanting of mantras. The goal of this practice is to build physical vitality and increase consciousness. Kundalini yoga is a practical tool for everyday people. It is not posture based; therefore, it’s accessible to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or body type. It’s powerful, efficient, and effective. It gives people the experience of connecting with their personal power, of having a clear mind and a wholeness of being.

OFF THE MAT

Develop balance, strength, flexibility, and breath control with the help of aerial silks, overhead & side bars, rollers, bolsters & balls. In this level 2 class the work will be slow and deep and founded in Michael’s 25 years of experience using these tools to care for his body with yoga off the mat. This class will occasionally move outdoors to Greenlake when the weather allows.

RESTORATIVE YOGA

Restorative Yoga is a practice that allows you to relax deeply with awareness. Comprising of only 7-8 poses you are supported by props to allow for complete relaxation in each pose.  A deeply nourishing practice, Restorative Yoga is known to induce the parasympathetic nervous system. It is in this state that the body's systems - such as digestion, immune, sleep - wake cycle and endocrine system - function optimally, bringing a state of inner balance and harmony to the body and mind. Come enjoy this calming, healing time, and release the buildup of stress and anxiety of your busy life.

SLOW FLOW

Slow Flow is a full and well-rounded yoga practice. In this class we practice Sun Salutations, Standing and Balancing postures, as well as an array of gentle back bends, hip openers and twists.

Following opening circle, we will play a game that invites listening, trust, and connection. For the remainder of the class, we'll explore basic forward & backward flying therapeutics and end with a closing circle.
