Yoga and Aerial Yoga Classes

Traditional Classes and Aerial classes are both offered here @ Spirit Flow Pathways

Classes

We will incorporate pranayama ( breathing exercises ) into all of our classes, and some time to sit in a seat of meditation, time to plant our seeds of intention.

Mixed levels Flow : Open to all levels from beginner to advanced, this practice builds a strong foundation for effective and safe alignment while offering deeper options for more experienced practitioners. Based on sun salutations and deep holds, postures are linked with the breath and a strong focus is made to bring awareness to the body-mind-spirit connection. Each person is invited to modify the shapes to fit their individual needs

Slow Flow and Restorative Yoga:

We will incorporate all that we would in our mixed levels, just moving at a slower pace. In this, we will explore the foundational principles of yoga, and just move slower than the Flow for All class. This class is a great place to start and become familiar with the practice. The basics are the roots of all that is possible! We will still incorporate strengthening poses, build a little heat, and then cool down in restorative poses. You do not need to be flexible to attend. Come as you are and begin there. At times we may incorporate foam rollers, massage balls, or chairs ( for assist) to work through issues within the body.

Gentle Yoga

In this practice, we will focus on our breath and being gentle with ourselves. It is in the breath that we will find the release of tension; tension that resides not only in our hearts and mind, but that which also resides in our muscles and cells. We will move slowly and sweetly as we lengthen, extend, nurture and release all that no longer serves us.

Aerial Yoga

AERIAL CLASSES, SEVERAL TO CHOOSE FROM. COME AND FEEL THE SENSATION OF BEING FULLY HELD, COMPLETELY SUPPORTED.. AND HAVE SOME FUN AND BUILD YOUR STRENGTH AS WELL. ๐Ÿ’œ

Aerial Basics: we will move at a slower pace, less inversions ( inversions will be optional), and focus more on using the hammock as a prop for strengthening & balance. We will also take some time to immerse you into sensation of being completely held, being fully supported, and also flying a little bit ๐Ÿ’œ.

Aerial FLOW YOGA we will incorporate all of the foundational practices as we do in the Aerial for All classes, as well as incorporate more intensive core practices and inversions. ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ๐Ÿ™ƒ

  • Releases tension.
  • Increases balance and proprioception (bodily awareness)
