Barbara Douglass teaches a vinyasa flow, moving with the breath and using sun salutations to build gentle heat. We use that heat to deeply stretch, and we end with a relaxing meditation.

Jeneen Piccuirro teaches a gentle, traditional, chakra based hatha yoga class. Her focus is on deep release and relaxation and she favors poses that benefit the nervous system to promote inner calm.

Becky Super teaches a Vinyasa style class that welcomes new and experienced students to find balance both on and off the mat. I like a faster paced class, but I know the importance of slowing down to find relaxation and meditation too.

Barb Mink earned her 200-hr yoga teacher (RYT) certification in 2018 in the vinyasa format. She’s been practicing for 20* Years and has attended numerous workshops and yoga retreats.

Anne teaches a vinyasa style flow class. Flows are designed to be equal parts meditative and fun. Classes are appropriate for students of all levels and appropriate modifications and amplifications are offered.

Angie’s classes are a Vinyasa Flow style of Yoga. Vinyasa means “to move with the breath” and in Angie’s classes, the poses are strung together to form one fluid sequence of movement. Moving with your breath, and letting your body flow in new directions, is powerful and nurturing. Angie’s classes focus on connecting the physical movements with the rhythm of the breath while maintaining an awareness of the mindful transitions from one pose to another while also taking time to enjoy each pose in whatever way feels best for each individual body. Each student is invited to make their Vinyasa flow a personal experience to meet their body’s needs. Pose flows can be fast and physically challenging or soft and gentle, a moving meditation, and an opportunity to witness the ways in which the breath holds power over our well-being. The class ends with time in deep relaxation. No prior Yoga experience is necessary and all levels of practice are welcome.
