taking the time to look within (chill yoga practice)
sat 2-4pm, surya lounge
This afternoon session is the perfect complement to a strong morning yoga practice. This class will be more reflective in nature as we find our way into various postures; usually on the floor, but not limited to, and stay there to see what happens. How often do we really slow down enough in our increasingly busy daily lives and take the time to look and listen to ourselves? Hip openers and inversions will be the focus. A gentle introduction to pranayama will be taught as well. Since the middle of the day is the time when the body wants to rest and rejuvenate itself for the rest of the day, this class should be just the right thing!

wake up and flow! (flow yoga practice)
sun 8-10am, surya lounge
This is the perfect opportunity to wake yourself up and take notice! To practice yoga is to recognize and celebrate the divine within and find expression for that realization. A dynamic vinyasa style yoga practice is one way to do just that and start to awaken the spirit within us all. Through an energizing sequence of postures, we will explore how a grounded, earth based asana practice can be the bridge that joins the gap between the spirit body and the physical body.

suryanamaskar c (flow yoga practice)
sun 4.30-6.30pm, surya lounge
This dynamic flowing sequence of standing postures, originally created by Tim Miller of Encinitas, CA, is the root of all 'flow yoga' classes taught in the US today. The beauty of the class lies in its spontaneity -it is always different! Depending on students' needs and backgrounds, the postures are linked together using a vinyasa sequence and conscious breathing. Dynamic backbends will complete the flow. This is an extremely fun class and can go very deep!

maya yoga vinyasa fusion :
exploring how a sustainable practice creates a sustainable life
In the world as it stands today, it is becoming increasingly obvious that Sustainability is no longer an option for us all but a much needed Reality. How to create that in our own lives and yoga practice is what Vinyasa Fusion has to offer. The Maya Yoga approach is intent on serving the Individual student. Nicki and Eddie’s style encourages students to discover their true self and let the practice be the teacher, showing you the tools to learn for yourself what is right for you at any given moment. Vinyasa Fusion combines the breath and flow of vinyasa style yoga with alignment principles which support safety, postural integrity, and personal awareness in the practice. Since our practice is a representation of our lives, we will explore how this sustainable approach to our asana practice helps us to create and sustain balance in our lives. We invite you to explore Eddie and Nicki’s unique approach to vinyasa yoga because it will strengthen all aspects of your being through dynamic structural alignment, conscious breathing, and practical yogic philosophy!
