Class Descriptions:
Intermediate Yoga: This is a vinyasa style yoga. This is for you if you’ve done some yoga before or if you are able to stand up easily without support, can handle getting up and down from sitting and floor poses to standing poses, and have no major current injuries. It is okay if you don’t know the names of poses or how to get into them perfectly. You’ll learn this by coming to class. This class will help you stretch your body well and support you in slowly increasing your physical strength, especially of your legs, arms, and shoulders. Everything is always optional and modifications are offered. Poses are held for 3-10 breaths, depending on the pose. The class ends with a few longer held poses before final resting pose.
Advanced Yoga: This is a vinyasa style yoga. This class is for you if you have taken yoga before or if you are already physically fit. This class will focus on strength, stretching, and endurance. This is more of a “workout” style yoga which will end with 10-15 minutes of slower poses and deeper stretches before final resting pose. This class is similar to a power yoga class.
Gentle Yoga: This class is beginner friendly, meaning that if you’ve never taken a yoga class, you will be able to do this class! All of the poses are seated, so there is no transition between standing to seated except for the very beginning of the class (we start with a gentle joint opening series that is standing before we move to the flood for all seated poses). We move slowly and gently. Poses are held for 30-60 seconds with longer holds towards the end of class. This class is wonderful for you to begin your yoga journey. If you have an injury, we can *probably* work around it in this class.
Yin Yoga: Yin yoga is a specialized form of yoga that focuses on helping the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual body release stuck energy. Yin poses are designed to help clear the meridian lines through the body. All poses (except for 2, which aren’t in every class) are seated on the floor. The poses are held for 3-5 minutes. This allows plenty of time for the connective tissues to stitch and release stress. We suggest taking at least one yin class a week in addition to another form of yoga (gentle, intermediate, or advanced) for the most well rounded practice.
Restorative Yoga: This class is focused on helping your mind, body, spirit, and most especially - your nervous system - relax. It is intended to release deep physical and emotional tension and stress. This class is for you if you need to rest, relax, and reset. There is no physical strength involved and very minimal stretching. All of the poses are very relaxed, whether seated or lying down. There is no standing at all. This class is great for beginners and seasoned yogis alike. This class is also good if you have any injuries. **Candlelight restorative is simply a restorative class with candles as the only source of light. This class is held at different times during the year depending on the time of sunset.
Yoga for Trauma: This is a specific style of yoga for those who have been impacted by any type of trauma, whether physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual, at any point in life (childhood trauma, intimate partner trauma, adult child trauma, situational trauma) for any length of time (single occurrence, continued and ongoing trauma, previous trauma). This form of yoga is gentle in nature although it can include strengthening postures and is tailored to the individual dependent upon their experiences and needs. Yoga for Trauma also pairs well with Reiki, which helps release some of the energetic imprint of the traumatic experience(s). Reiki can be provided, if desired, as a hover or light touch. Currently Yoga for Trauma is only offered privately by Erica. Schedule here.
Erica is also available for private Reiki sessions, private yoga, cacao ceremonies, Reiki trainings, and group private events, collaborations with businesses, and many events throughout the year!
