This class is open to everyone.

This meditation class is intended to activate your rest-and-digest system and  usher your body back to a more natural, calm state.

This class offers a challenge through the flow between postures, while building heat, endurance, flexibility and strength. Vinyasa (“flowing with breath”) is a dynamic style of yoga combining yoga poses with inhales and exhales, creating a steady internal rhythm for the practice. Our flow classes use creative sequences involving sun salutations, standing and seated postures, back bending, arm balancing, and a strong focus on the power of breath awareness. You will surely enjoy this fun challenging class.

This class helps to undo all the tension, stress and stiffness of the day. Stretching helps to complement a grueling workout program, tight muscles, stiff joints or a sedentary, screen oriented lifestyle.  Keeping flexible, mobile, supple and lengthened, are drug-free secrets to a pain-free, anti-aging and high energy way of living. This class will incorporate breath work and meditation, promote good posture, and include yoga. This class is beginner-friendly and is designed to accommodate all experience levels

Lunchtime yoga is a great way to “kick start” your mind to focus on the future afternoon tasks at hand. This is an all-levels, mid-day Vinyasa flow class. Come for some yoga, breathing and meditation. Lunchtime yoga is a great way to wipe the slate clean — forget the annoyances or setbacks that may have happened this morning, and get you ready to tackle your busy schedule with ease, calm and clarity.

This class is a blend of Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, lower spine and legs. One big difference noticed by students of Yin Yoga is the long-held, passive nature of the postures, which gives time for a deeper journey to unfold and explore the meditative aspects of yoga. Restorative yoga has numerous therapeutic applications and is a form of relaxation and restoration. Props are used to increase comfort, nourish the nervous system and deepen relaxation.

Our classes feature active yoga with great music, yoga games and crafts, mindful moments, and plenty of laughs and smiles! We will challenge your child's imagination while developing strength, flexibility, coordination and balance. Little yogis will love the more playful yoga practice, while older children will benefit from fun, more challenging yoga sequences and mindful relaxation techniques. Studies have concluded yoga has been proven to reduce anxiety and stress resulting from peer pressure, school and home situational stressors. We incorporate Sound Therapy in all our classes.  

This class includes gentle postures, breathing exercises, relaxation, and Kind Karma Yoga® Flows to increase mobility and flexibility. This class also includes some functional strengthening postures and core activation, and will flow slowly through the postures. Meditation and breathing techniques are taught to promote relaxation. Class concludes with restorative yoga postures. This class is for those who may have certain injuries, or for students who simply prefer to move at a slower pace. 

Detox Yoga restores the mind, body, and spirit. Invigorate your practice with this strong, challenging flow that focuses on twists and forward bends for detoxification. Twists are associated with toning and rejuvenating, and forward folding brings core awareness. Incorporating twists, mild inversions, and circular motions are said to stimulate the digestive, immune and lymph systems. Expect to increase blood flow, get your heart pumping. Leave feeling refreshed and energized!

Our signature cardio strength class builds muscle to make your yoga practice effortless. Warm-up exercises and dynamic movements begin this class followed by calorie burning cardio sequences. This class uses bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, pilates rings and various weights. Yoga poses are either taught alone or combined with weights and cardio exercises. Restorative yoga and meditation concludes the class.

This gentle yoga flow class is focused on body and breath awareness, and how each yoga pose or yoga sequence affects your mind, senses and thoughts. Accessible to all levels, including beginners, this class is a combination of gentle and dynamic yoga flow coupled with longer holds to help find alignment in our bodies and within ourselves. We begin and end each class with the pleasant sounds of healing instruments followed by Kind Karma “Awaken with Meditation” techniques.

Awaken Qigong stimulates and directs the flow Chi of the body and organs by stretching or compressing the meridians (energy channels). Each Awaken Qigong sequence includes breath work, mental focus and mudras, as well as the inner work of sound, color and visualization at the consciousness level. The synthesis of Awaken Qigong's unique movements, breath work, visualization, and sound "wakes up" the Chi within the body to heal the physical, mental, emotional, energetic, and spiritual bodies. As we develop our own external and internal energy, we inherently form a powerful link to the greater parts of ourselves.
