Class Descriptions   Class Fees

Yoga Basics — Designed for those just beginning a yoga practice. Essential for those who will continue on to Level 1-2.

Level 1-2 — Moderate; ideal for those ready to deepen their practice and move from Yoga Basics into a more moderately paced class.

Level 2-3 — Energetic; NOT for first time students. It is advised that you have regularly attended class and have an understanding of the basic poses, standing poses, inversions, arm balances, backbends and sun salutation. A challenging, stimulating class.

Fusion — A challenging and fun blend of vinyasa, Pilates & strength conditioning designed to increase muscle tone, core strength and balance. Flowing movements are performed with the intention of keeping the heart rate elevated to create a full body workout. Previous yoga experience is recommended, but all ability levels are welcome.

Gentle Yoga This class is designed to meet students where they are-- whether recovering from illness or injury, searching for a healthier life-style, or wishing to develop deeper, more mindful postures.  Taught in the Kripalu style of yoga, this 1 1⁄4 hour classes offers props, warm-up exercises, breath work and modified postures to help students find a comfortable and steady yoga practice. 

Insight Meditation — Love offering accepted. http://www.insightstlouis.org/

Kundalini Yoga — Based on the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, Ph.D. and Master of Kundalini Yoga.  Kundalini Yoga is a complete science that includes pranayam, asana, sound, chanting and meditation.  It is designed to provide you with the experience of your highest consciousness through the raising of your Kundalini.

Open — Not for beginners but for those students with some yoga background.

Pilates Mat — A stimulating class for the mind as well as the body. It is a unique system of exercises designed to strengthen and tone muscles, improve posture, provide flexibility and balance and create a more streamlined shape. The emphasis is on the core and the breath; however, Pilates works all of the muscles, all of the time. 

Restorative — Open to all who want to relax deeply. Ideal for those chronically stressed. Be prepared to be still and let go.

Yoga for Pregnancy (Yoga, Relaxation, Group Support) — This class includes medically approved toning and strengthening exercises, stress management techniques, bonding with your baby and group discussion of the developmental and emotional issues of pregnancy.

Bring clean bare feet, no gum and an empty stomach. Most students wear a leotard and footless tights or a t-shirt and running shorts. Long, baggy pants are not recommended. Please come without heavy jewelry and perfume. A limited number of mats are provided but a personal mat would encourage a practice at home.
