We as humans have a need for connection, by utilizing online classes we have the ability to:

reach out, connect, practice, and share experiences with people of all walks of life.

Studio Philosophy:

Each instructor has a goal to: hold space for you in class, provide you helpful tools that will promote self growth/ self acceptance, while also building confidence within your own personal practice; Whether taking classes Virtually or In-Studio.

The Studio's Yoga classes focus attention on the historic roots of yoga; classes tend to zone in on the more of principals, philosophies and ethical sides of what practicing yoga has to offer and how these aspects of yoga can enrich your every day life (off the yoga mat). Classes focus on the potential to create & maintain: intention, mindfulness, balance of self, happiness, decrease of stress and finding a better understanding of self to help your individual path of life.

Although our Classes consist of Asana (Poses, Shapes, Movement) every Yoga class offered is designed to help either: introduce, remind or expand these fascinating concepts/aspects of yoga. Through exploring these deeper layers of yoga; we hope to provide tools that can help you integrate these aspects & the potential benefits into your life. Our classes are designed to train you in the ways of being a Yogi not exclusively 'how to touch your toes'; switching the focus of classes from less of a work out mentality to more of a lifestyle fulfilling practice. We want you to leave classes feeling Physically, Mentally and spiritually fulfilled!

We believe you should have access to these aspects of Yoga Philosophy through out your daily classes. We do not believe you need spend thousands of dollars to take a yoga teachers program to access this information.

We want to supply you with as many tools as possible to spark whatever desires you have to follow in your yogic journey anytime you take a class with one of our passionate Instructors. To start to get a taste of these aspects & philosophies click here.

LOOKING FOR STRICTLY WORK OUT BASED YOGA CLASSES??

ALL Other: Conditioning, Workouts, Exercise & Fitness Classes will be found on our YO-DA Class Schedule.

We offer our "Get Kinetic" Yoga Class & "Kinetic Yoga Flow" Classes to fulfil your needs! We understand sometimes every yogi simply just needs a good work out; We do not shame people for simply needing a space to let out their energy or work on their fitness. We also recognize that not every person is ready to or wants to seek out the deeper spiritual sides and roots of yoga. Although we do not want to ignore these aspects of yoga, as we believe it is important for everyone to understand the roots of what they decide to practice, we do notice the amazing (potential) health benefits of Yoga. The Asana (physical yoga poses) portion of Yoga can have a lot of wonderful (potential) physical and mental benefits. We do not want to hinder students from seeking solely those benefits if that is what they need currently in their yogic journey. We encourage you to assist in keeping all classes in the studio a safe space for all students. If you have only tried our "Kinetic" fitness based asana classes, we also encourage you to keep an open mind and possibly expand outside of our work out based styled classes if you feel called to.

We aim to meet your individual needs and goals through each of our classically styled classes and modern styled classes; while always staying true to the historic roots of Yoga and authentic truth of each of our Instructors yogic paths and teaching styles.

If you seek more detailed information on who will be teaching the specific class each day etc.

Please, see the "Schedules" tab on our menu. Each class description should have an area that states, "Instructed By: ____ ".

WHAT IS YOGA?

Yoga Means: To Yoke or Union

Yoga Classes originated from Eastern Spiritual Practices and involve: Breathwork, holding various poses with your physical body, matching movement with breath, allowing time for rest/ relaxation, meditation / focusing the mind and structured philosophies. As these practices were brought to the west the interpretation and use of yoga has evolved and adapted to many modern adaptations. The primary difference between the Historic Eastern Interpretations and Modern Western Adaptations are: Activity vs. Lifestyle. Based off factual history, Yoga is more then an exercise performed in a 30min- 90min. class. Yoga is a walk of life and daily lesson. Asana (the yoga poses) specifically exist in order to help you bring attention to the mind-body-spirit connection. Deepening the mind body connection prepares you for a deeper meditation and helps you reach a higher state of being. Connection, Union or Yoking is the core goal when it comes to a yoga practice. Yoga focuses on how to further integrate the mind, body & being. Mindfulness is often a main theme of classes, with sessions often beginning and ending with: guided, silent or moving meditation. Postures that are held for longer allow time for self-reflection. Where as faster paced movements allow time to release physical energy. Yoga philosophy and practices of the "yogi" reach far past physical body positions and influences every aspect of an individual’s lifestyle, from how to go about the day, the food to eat, and the way to treat others.

Yoga is a way to align with the source and higher self, thus “making time to practice”; it’s a continuous flow, from sunrise to sunset. Not every person who practices Yoga or Asana lives the Life Style of a Yogi. Yoga is also a wonderful practice to gain and maintain fitness goals, strength and flexibility. The more modern western adaptations of Yoga highlights these benefits of a yoga practice. Some may use yoga as a form of fitness or for other reasons outside of the historic and traditional reasons of practicing yoga. Listen to yourself, and dive into the areas of practice that most interest you and keep an open mind! There is no right or wrong way to yoga....Listen to your body, mind and spirit, all the answers to reaching your fullest potential are with in....we are merely a guide!

What are the 8 Limbs Of Yoga?

(A Small Break Down Of The History & Sacred Texts Associated With Yoga)

-Bringing it all the way back to the Vedas.

(A Small Break Down Of The History & Sacred Texts Associated With Yoga)

-Bringing it all the way back to the Vedas.

One of the most ancient sacred texts of India and the central text of Hindu Scriptures. With in these writings or collection of Hymns the foundations of Yoga are established. We see here mention of Yoga, which means, to "yuj" (control) and "yoke" (unite) oneself, are established. Many of the mantras in these texts are regularly practiced today. This is why in some instances you may hear a chant, mantra, or song in a yoga class.

These ancient studies focus on purification of self and the mind.

- Around 600 B.C. we see The Epic Mahabarata of which holds the Bhagavad Gita. With in these Epics we begin to outline different types of yoga. Stating that yoga is complete balance. Balance of oneself from body to mind.

Balance of thoughts & emotions.

Balance of discipline/abstinence & indulgence/impulsion.

Finding the balance of all in order to not reach extremes but to find your center. As the sooner you find your center the longer you can resonate there.

-Around 200 C.E. We see the Yoga Sutras arise, which is another core text of yoga and is one of the main foundational texts of Yogi’s. This philosophy writing has 196 verses (sutras)

mainly focusing on uniting/ finding understanding

with oneself, the highest consciousness and nature.

In these texts there are very few verses regarding Asana proving yoga is much more then just doing exercise and poses.

These sutras are created by Patanjali and include with in them the 8 limbs of yoga which is the primary basis of yoga practice

-Around 800-900 C.E. Yoga has continued to adapt and progress over the years. Many different Yoga Schools came to be. Leading to many of our more common class practice styles. During this time we begin to see practices such as Tantrism and Siddha Yogi's entering the scene. We also begin to see the rise and prominence of Hatha yoga + many other yoga practices/schools!

As yoga moved "westwards" a lot of yoga classes started to begin to switch more focuses on to the 3rd limb of yoga - asana practice or exercising the body/mind.

In our studio we like to dive deep into these other aspects of yoga and these foundational components.

We barely scrapped the surface of yoga history here, so make sure to check out our "Yoga Philosophy" Series as we go into much more depth on many more areas of yoga history, philosophy and ancient texts.

(Words & Phrases Commonly Heard In Classes & On The Studio Website)

Asana: An Asana is a singular body posture. This term has evolved from initially starting as a term for a sitting meditation pose.
Ashtanga: A type of yoga based on eight limbs of yoga that consists of a series of poses executed in swift succession. These sequences are very rigid and done in the same order. In order to move "up" to the next level of sequencing you must first be given permission by an instructor of the practice. To be able to teach this style of yoga you must go a school in India. None of our instructors are certified in Ashtanga. However Ashtanga poses are very common and we like to derive our own flows and combinations based off some these interesting shapes and postures.
Chakra: means “wheel” and refers to central points in your body. They are thought to be spinning disks of light & energy that should stay “open” or aligned, as they correspond to bundles of nerves, major organs, and areas of our energetic body that affect our emotional and physical well-being.
Drishti: Point of Gaze or Focus
Dosha: Bio-energy center in Ayurvedic medicine. The term comes from the Sanskrit dosa, meaning “fault” or “disease.” There are three doshas in total: vata, pitta and kapha. Their energies are believed to circulate in the body and govern physical, mental and emotional characteristics.
Flow: Is the fluid connection from one thing to another. (Usually in reference to breath, asana, sequences etc.) to another. A flow may also be known as being able to get into the 'zone'. Meaning a person performing an activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement and enjoyment in the process of the activity.
Granthi: One of the three “knots” or blockages in the central energy channel or nadi which prevents a full ascent of the serpent power to achieve enlightenment in.
Invert/ Inversion: Yoga poses where the heart is elevated higher from the ground than the head. Or the position of the pose leads to your head being below (lower) then the heart. Or any pose involving an upside down effect. So this includes asanas like hand/arm stands, head stands and even Downward Facing Dog and standing forward folds. There are many different types of inversions to explore.
Karma: The law or cause & effect.
Kinetic: relating to or resulting from motion.
Modification: No to people are the same, through modifications we are able to make partial or minor changes/ adjustments to your asana, typically done as a way to either improve it or to make it less extreme.
Mudra: A hand gesture or bodily movement used in yoga practice to affect the flow of prana, life-force energy.
Namaste: A salutation said at the beginning or end of a class to acknowledge the inner light inside of all beings.
Nadi: A channel of prana or subtle energy in the body. There are over 72,000 nadis in the body but there are only three main channels (ida-nadi, pingala-nadi, and sushumna-nadi).
Prana: Energy. Internal Light, Life or Soul; prana permeates reality on all levels including inanimate objects.
Pranayama: The practice of breath control in yoga. In modern yoga we often use a synchronization of the breath with movements. However Pranayama is also a distinct breathing exercise on its own, usually practiced in the beginning and conclusions of class.
Props: A person or thing that is a major source of support or assistance. These help aid in balance, deepening or lessening intensity of poses. In the case of a yoga class, we may use things like: blankets, yoga blocks, yoga straps, chairs, yoga mats, pillows, etc.
Sanskrit: An ancient language of India, in which the first Hindu scriptures and classical Indian epic poems are written and from which many other Indian languages are derived. Sanskrit is one of the eldest written languages with over 3,00 years of use through out history and is the predominant language of most works of Hindu philosophy. Sanskrit is the language of yoga, most names of poses you will hear in class are Sanskrit.
Sun Salutation: Surya Namaskar, meaning a Salute to the Sun, is a Yogic practice in yoga incorporating a (usually the same/ standard) sequence of twelve gracefully linked asanas. This was another development from Hatha Yoga which is commonly practiced today.
Trigger warning: A trauma trigger is an uncontrolled psychological stimulus that prompts recall of a previous traumatic experience (usually making it feel as the past is happening now). Essentially there is a cause, and a subconscious effect. The stimulus, or the trigger, itself may not be frightening or traumatic and it may be a random occurrence. Some examples include: a scent or a piece of clothing, a color, a part of the body being touched, certain words or tones, a trigger or stimulus could be caused by anything, peoples trauma responses are to be respected and not judged. A trigger warning is a statement or warning , alerting the reader or viewer to the fact that it contains potentially distressing material or allow a mini preview of what will be discussed so a person can be aware so a stimulus or trigger response is more easily controlled or avoided.
Vinyasa: A vinyasa is a smooth transition between asanas in styles of yoga hoping to create a flow. Vinyasa utilizes the paring of breath to movement.
Yin: A slow-paced style of yoga targeting the deepest tissues of the body, our connective tissues, ligaments, joints, bones, and the deep fascia networks of the body rather than the muscles, Yin classes will usually include props and supported poses, slowly increasing flexibility and joint mobility while also incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine. These classes move very slowly with asanas that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles.
Ujjayi: The ocean sound breathing or victorious breath. This is a popular type of conscious breathing or pranayama.

What is Meditation?-

(Information On Meditation & How We Strive To Make It Inclusive)

The main purpose of asana and movement exploration is to be able to find rest. Sitting, laying, resting and meditating are important aspects to a yoga practice. However these areas of practice can bring up many emotions, and may be very triggering. We will always provide a trigger warning prior to any meditation class with in our studio. This is a way for us to help make classes more inclusive for all. Meditation is not only "clearing the mind." It is training the mind, rewiring pathways in the brain to find calmness in chaos. We always accept the thoughts that enter our heads but we learn to release these thoughts of power as we try to calm the mind or focus on one specific thought or thing. Both guided and self guided meditations are wonderful ways to get in touch with your deep subconscious and reconnect to your internal self. Just like yoga, meditation is a practice. It can be uncomfortable, some days may go better then others, some days you might find yourself "getting in the zone" and other days it is impossible to silence the mind. All is ok, all is accepted, we encourage you to show yourself deep understanding, kindness and love during these sessions, release yourself of expectations and frustrations and be in the moment whatever that may bring. Being able to find stillness...stillness in the body and stillness of the mind can be one of the hardest journeys for some, but we are here to assist you in anyways possible and provide you a safe space to feel, react and do as you need to during your meditation times. All meditative aspects of class and directed positioning for meditation is always optional. Some may find that keeping the eyes open, a blanket or pillow near by or staying seated may assist your experience. Our goal is to allow you to be as comfortable as possible and you are always in charge of your practice. You may choose to not participate in any part of class at any time, we are merely guides, you control your practice. We will never judge you based on how you decide to practice your meditation. And we ask that the students share this open mindedness as well in any of our classes, respect is key to keep the good vibes rolling in class and allowing each moment of class to be raw and authentic.

Do I Need To Be Spiritual Or Religious To Practice?

Meditation & Yoga + Spirituality & Religion

Yoga has been an aspect of spiritual practices and a form of energetic practice for over 5,000 years. Although yoga arguably is not a religion itself, there are inherent spiritual foundations to yoga. Understanding these foundations are important, although it is always OK to listen to yourself and choose to utilize the aspects from yoga that best serve you, your path and your intentions. Yoga can be practiced by people of any back ground, religion/ beliefs systems, as the end goal of yoga is to learn self awareness in order to transform oneself, to experience self actualization in a way to better ones self and society as a whole ultimately reaching a higher consciousness which can be done no matter what you believe religiously. Through yoga we use mindfulness, breath, movement and stillness to help us find these discoveries of self. Yoga is much more then simply Asana & Poses. There are 8 Limbs to Yoga and Asana/Movement/Poses is only one Limb of Yoga. Yoga incorporates a fusion of many things such as: Ethics, Psychology/Philosophy, Self-Discipline, Breathe Work, Energy Flow Work Through Movement, Concentration, Mindfulness, Self Knowledge/ Awareness, and More. Yoga is a journey and a process, there are ups and downs, mistakes and accomplishments, it is mostly important we respect each step in our journey and allow ourselves kindness and love during our yogic journey.

For some people their current journey and needs may be to only use Yoga for the purpose of exercise and the physical benefits and that is accepted here. As yoga does have many possible physical benefits you may be able to experience from your practice. If you are apprehensive on the more spiritual effects of yoga or you simply are not interested in these other aspects yoga has to offer you, our "Get Kinetic" and "Kinetic Flow" Classes will be a wonderful Class option for you.

In our studio we like to believe Yoga is for everyone & anyone can benefit from yoga! Everyone has their own individual perspectives, interpretations & personal journeys; thus, we always strive to make our classes as inclusive as possible for all while staying in line with the historic roots & teachings of yoga.

Attire/ What to bring to Classes

Yoga Classes:

During classes it is recommended to bring/ you may need:

Yoga blocks (2 blocks are standard)
A Yoga Strap (A scarf, belt, dog leash, rolled up towel or really anything long/strap like may work as a substitute if you do not have a proper yoga strap.)
A water bottle/ Water
A blanket or pillow

If any [additional] props are specifically needed for class it will be listed in the description on our schedule.

Classes may warm up the body & work up a sweat. We recommend wearing clothes that you will feel comfortable in & have full range of movement in. Typical form fitting workout clothes tend to help assist Asana posses. Some may prefer to have skin of the arms or legs show for better gripping & movement. Some may prefer looser fitting clothes. We ask, regardless of the clothing style you rock, to keep all private areas & genitals of the body covered during Online & In-person classes.

Dance Classes:

We recommend that you come to class prepared with water, and pole grip (if you are taking an "on the Pole Class."). Some people may find pole gloves/ pole stick clothes assist them during practice. Gripping onto the pole is the most important part of pole dancing. You will sweat & slip, to get better grip contact with the pole, skin to pole contact is recommended. Clothing that allows a lot of shown skin help assist pole dancing.

(EX: sports bras, tank tops, crop tops, shorts/booty shorts, etc)

We do allow students to wear booty shorts or thongs in class. We ask that you please keep genitals and private parts covered. If you do decide to wear a thong to class, we ask that you please wear 2 pairs of thongs at once, this helps to keep from accidental slipping/wardrobe malfunctions during class. Barefoot or your dancer heels are the recommended footwear. We do not allow street shoes in the studio during in person classes.
