Space to Explore

This intricately designed vinyasa flow will take you through the inner landscapes of your body allowing you space to savor the joys of moving slowly.

In this flow we will practice creating an in-depth conversation between our body and our breath, as we move with our gaze inward and our minds open with curiosity.

Many of us live our lives thrusting ourselves forward… chasing the highest of highs, and so on. These busy lives can complicated and messy, leaving us disconnected from our bodies. Moving slowly with intention offers us not only the opportunity to anchor ourselves in the present but also to feel every moment completely.

Poetry

Gaga / People

Maree ReMalia

The Gaga movement language originated from the belief in the healing, dynamic, ever-changing power of movement. Choreographer, Ohad Naharin, developed Gaga over the course of many years and it is now applied in the daily practice of Israel’s Batsheva Dance Company. Gaga / people classes offer a framework for users to connect to their bodies and imaginations, experience physical sensations, improve their flexibility and stamina, exercise their agility and explosive power, and enjoy the pleasure of movement in a welcoming, accepting atmosphere. Throughout the class, participants are guided by a series of evocative instructions to increase awareness of and further amplify sensation. Rather than turning from one prompt to another, information is layered, building into a multisensory, physically challenging experience. While many instructions are imbued with rich imagery, the research of Gaga is fundamentally physical, insisting on a specific process of embodiment. Inside this shared research, the improvisational nature of the exploration enables each participant’s deeply personal connection with Gaga.

Gaga/people classes run approximately 1-hour and are open to people ages 16+, no previous experience necessary. Wear comfortable clothing that does not restrict movement; layers recommended. To create a less self conscious environment, class is conducted without mirrors and observers are not permitted.

Latin Dance

The class will be a Latin musicality class as participants will be guided to discover the overlap of the rhythm of the music with the rhythm of the body. Participants will be guided to not just learn to hear the counts, but to feel them, too, helping each mover to become a more fluid and versatile dancer. Expect to also learn various rhythms, tempo, phrases, and breaks.

Butoh

Join Lela for a butoh and Noguchi Taiso experience that will incorporate nature, psychology, relaxation, movement adaptability, and self discovery. Butoh is an artform created by Tatsumi Hijakata in Japan in the 1960’s-1980’s. Elements of Hijakata’s methodology continue to move through his living dancers and their students. Noguchi Taiso was created by Michizo Noguchi in the same time span and is often incorporated with butoh technique. Noguchi Taiso is an exercise technique that emphasizes less-is-more, focusing on water in the body and its relationship to gravity.

Sensual Yoga

Sensual yoga is a embodied form of yoga that emphasizes one's attunement to the environment by using all five senses while also connecting with breath, sound and movement. The movement is slow, rhythmic, and intuitive. Our intention is to focus more on the sacral chakra -our energetic seat of creative potential and pleasure. Unlike traditional yoga where we move the body through linear planes this practice is nonlinear, moving in circles, waves, and spirals. This practice has its lineages in vinyasa yoga, kundalini, dance, and Qigong. Free expression and intuitive movement are encouraged and celebrated. Let us love the bodies we live in and open ourselves to more pleasure.

This class is available to all bodies whether this is your first movement class, or you are a seasoned mover. You will need a yoga mat and or a blanket and a playful spirit.

Yin + SloFlow

Ashleigh Rose Humphrey

Mashup for the Heart / Small Intestine Meridians

Join Ashleigh for a Yin Yoga + SloFlow mash up, intended to create healthy flow through heart & small intestine meridian lines which run through the arms, heart, chest, and throat.

Perfect for closing out the weekend, this thoughtful practice will start & end with Yin Yoga postures, and build to a SloFlow practice during the middle. Though the Yin Yoga postures are more passive in nature, it doesn’t necessarily mean they’re “easy”. This blended class will include both “sensational” Yin Yoga postures as well as some of the more passive, restful Yin Yoga postures. We’ll turn up the speed gradually throughout our practice, finding our way through a few rounds of feel-good SloFlow with continued focus on the heart space during the middle of class.

This practice will be themed around opening a few specific meridian lines (energy lines, according to traditional Chinese medicine) of the body. Similar to acupressure, through long holds of postures, we’ll work to open the lines of the heart & small intestine, both of which are used to help create balance during the season of Summer. Leave your practice feeling aware of the emotions of your heart, available for connection with others, and more open generally across the arms, chest, and throat regions.
