Sweet Surrender: Friday Morning Yin Yoga (Summer 26)Adult FitnessYin Yoga is known as "quiet yoga". It concentrates on connective tissue and bones, the parts of the body that are closest to our core, and critical to our physical well-being and range of motion. The postures are all practiced on the floor and each is held for a length of time - usually 3-5 minutes. This intense non-movement allows the muscles to relax and the deep connective tissue to be gently stretched ; encouraging the free flow of energy thru the body. Above all, Yin Yoga is a gentle practice that brings yoga back to its inner, meditative roots, teaching us to relax and accept ourselves just as we are. NOTE: Please bring a small pillow, towel and exercise/yoga matSummer 2026 -

Yoga/Pilates Combo (Summer 26)Adult FitnessYoga/Pilates ComboAdults 18+ Yoga enhances your inner self by focusing on increasing strength, balance and flexibility using nostril breath to warm and relax the body. Pilates breathing is a forceful mouth exhalation and a passive nostril inhalation (a natural response to the exhalation). Pilates trains the body from the core outward. This dynamic concept of training is consistent with the way we live and move. Everything we do, from putting away groceries, to moving furniture, to shoveling snow requires that we actively stabilize from the core in order to effectively use our extremities as we perform work and movement. In order to safely and effectively use the strength of our "movers", the arms and legs, we must strengthen the stabilizers of our core. To do so we center the body by stabilizing the pelvis and training muscles to be both movers and stabilizers. Posture is improved and the spine becomes better aligned. Muscles become balanced and fluidity and grace are achieved. This form of exercise is gentle, yet challenging. The exercises are progressive and can be modified to each individual's needs and ability. Exercises are performed on a Yoga mat, using a variety of positions, standing, seated, supine, prone, kneeling, and side lying.Summer 2026 -
