Chair Yoga:
Together we will explore several yoga poses to achieve body/ mind awareness, increase flexibility and strengthen our bodies while using our chair as a support. Using a chair in yoga does not limit us, but in fact allows us to examine greater accessibility and space in our shapes. Although we will use our chair as a support, we will still be challenged along the way while building heat to warm and relax our body. Additional props will be integrated such as yoga blocks, blankets, straps, bolsters and open wall space. We will study different pranayamas (breath work) within our sequence of asanas to achieve a greater sense of self and ease. I invite you to experience this unique practice, taking care of your heart, mind and body. All levels of experience and ages are welcome!

Power Flow Yoga:
Inspired by the Ashtanga lineage, Amy‘s class will integrate strength, flexibility, concentration, self-study and breath.
Yoga has helped me become a more passionately curious person.
Curious about my physical and mental practice, curious about my place in this world, curious what I am capable of, as well as curious if I can recognize and honor when I need to chill out and take it down a notch.
When I am on my mat, I feel the edges of my body moving in space as if there’s a silver glow seeping from my pores. Nothing is thrown away. Everything has meaning. Everything has purpose. There’s an intention with each breathe. To be more present. To be more patient. To be more alive. I don’t want to just get by in life. I want to live. I want to constantly reach for stars and learn new things. I want more yoga. Maybe you do too ...?
