for all levels, these classes focus on physical poses, meditation and breathing
techniques. Hatha yoga connects the flow of energy in the body developing
mind-body awareness. Come clear your mind, rejuvenate your body and satisfy
your soul.
Ashtanga I a.k.a 'Flow Yoga'
Ashtanga Yoga, also known as 'flow or power yoga’,
is an energetic practice, linking traditional Hatha yoga poses with
a powerful breath pattern moving through a series of rigorous poses
in quick succession. Learning the flow from one pose to the next makes
this class unique and challenging. Standing, or seated and poses or
asanas strengthen muscles as you coordinate your movement with
your breath experiencing a meditative state that Ashtanga yoga instills.

Yoga is a discipline that can lead kids on the path toward a calm and balanced mind, as well as help them build a strong and flexible body - tools they can use in their everyday lives. CoreBody Pilates + Yoga studio along with Little Feet Yoga have developed a kids yoga program that will help to improve your child's concentration and focus, stimulate imagination and help to release energy in a fun, safe environment. Using interactive games and animated postures, kids learn about animals, and nature through yoga. The use of animated poses and basic stretching exercises promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and visualization techniques teach kids how to focus, relax and develop self-control. Kids yoga is a fun, creative approach to yoga that can be very helpful for children whose bodies are still developing. Children will learn many creative ways of bending, stretching, and balancing, such as the Butterfly Pose, Cat/Cow Pose, Tree Pose, and Warrior Poses. These poses help to instill confidence and concentration and a sense of calm. The goal is to get beyond just "doing" the posture. Children are asked to think about what the postures mean and what it would feel like to be these postures -- strong and confident like a warrior; tall, still and grounded like a tree. Classes offered are: Mommy + Me, Kids (Spring 2006), Tweens/Teens (Winter + Spring 2006) Kids Yoga 5-8 yr olds
In our fun environment, children play yoga by imitating animals and nature, and by using creative expression, games, music, and storytelling. This playful class encourages self-expression as well as building social skills. Children will strengthen their bodies as they learn how to focus through breathing and relaxation techniques. Improve strength, flexibility, and coordination. They will also learn self-respect and respect for others with the practice of fun postures, group games, and breathing. Tween Yoga 9-12 yr olds
In this yoga class, we practice fun-filled yoga poses and breathing exercises to promote physical strength and flexibility, concentration, focus inner strength and body awareness. Through yoga kids can gain a higher level of confidence and self-esteem, an understanding of relaxation techniques and self-control, and a feeling of well-being and respect for others. With more physically challenging postures and flowing sequences, this class includes visualization and breathing exercises used for overall balance and concentration, which can be applied toward everyday situations. Teen Yoga
Using yoga postures to build inner and outer strength and flexibility are the main focus of this class - a transition through to adult yoga. Here we create emotional balance through the physical and mental benefits of yoga by practicing breathing exercises, flowing sequences, balancing poses and deep relaxation. Positive self-awareness and esteem are encouraged. 
This is a playful class encouraging moms to participate with their non-mobile babies. Yoga will help to rejuvenate and tone their post pregnancy bodies through various yoga poses. Focus is on baby movement, and stretching providing the new mother an opportunity to meet other moms and babies too! NOTE: It is important that pregnant women have approval from their doctors prior to beginning a STOTT™ Pilates + Yoga program.
