Focus on correct alignment, connecting breathe to movement and strengthening the body. The meditative pace of the class allows students to move from posture to posture while creating heat in the body.
Cycle-Yoga: Cycle-Yoga is an intense group cycling class followed by a 30 minute vinyasa yoga flow. The 30 minute cycle class brings elements of the yoga mat into a vigorous ride while 30 minutes of vinyasa yoga lengthens muscles, encourages strength, and elongates breath.
