Mind & Body 

Chair Yoga

Chair Yoga is ideal for seniors, and anyone working with limited mobility that would like to build coordination and balance. We'll use a chair to support the movements of every joint -- such as flexion and extension, lateral flexion and rotation -- with safe and accessible methods. You'll be guided through a series of calming breathing techniques and simplified versions of yoga postures.

Foundational Flow Yoga

Slow to mid-tempo yoga flow with emphasis on alignment and breath. Expect foundational poses to be broken down and refined. Perfect for beginner and advanced practitioners looking to slow things down a bit.

Group Centergy

Balance and Flex together in this invigorating 60-minute mind-body workout. It incorporates yoga and Pilates fundamentals with athletic training for balance, mobility, flexibility, and the core.

 

Mat Pilates

Mat Pilates focuses on strengthening the muscles of the core, pelvic floor, glutes, back and shoulders. We will prioritize proper alignment, correct movement initiation and breathing. The pace is calm and deliberate but the exercises will challenge your mind and body. Class is open to beginner and intermediate students. Modifications are offered for injuries and movement restrictions.

Power Yoga

This energetic and strength-building yoga practice is the perfect way to start your morning! Link movement to breathe in this active and fun class. No experience necessary, with plenty of modifications will be offered throughout.

Restorative Yoga

Come to restore yourself in gentle yoga! This class is about slowing down, going inward, tuning into oneself through breath, gentle movement, and meditation. You will leave feeling relaxed and at one with all aspects of your being. All skill levels welcome, no previous experience required!

Tai Chi

Tai Chi is a meditative style of exercise that offers a wide range of benefits, including lower blood pressure, reduction of stress and joint pain, better balance, and improved strength and flexibility. Our Tai Chi classes at the Y focus on the fundamentals of Tai Chi, along with the postures. We use Yang style 24 form for our class, and we teach the seven active ingredients: Awareness, Intention, Active Relaxation, Strength, Flexibility, Breathing and Social Support.

Total Body: Yoga

Total Body: Yoga relaxes your mind as you stretch your entire body, increase flexibility, and get stronger.

Yoga Flow

High energy, lighthearted, and athletic sequences that will warm up and open the body while matching breath to movement.

Yoga for everyBODY

Yoga for EveryBODY focuses on correctly aligning the body and incorporating longer, static holds while paying attention to the breath. This stretches and strengthens the muscles, bones and tendons while working to loosen the body's tissue, allowing us to flow more freely. This yoga class is a basic to intermediate class. Bring a mat and a small blanket.
