Styles of Yoga
Brittany’s belief is that yoga is not just a workout and should always be rooted in the ancient yogic philosophies and practices. All of her styles are based on the connection between the mind, breath, and body, including breathwork and meditation.
Slow Flow Yoga
Slow Flow Yoga is based on Vinyasa, but at a slow, gentle pace to focus more on the breath and body.
Most of our lives are busy and fast-paced. Our minds, too, can become overwhelmingly busy and anxious. These classes are meant to help you slow down and relax.
What to expect: Slow Flow Yoga classes begin with breathing techniques and several minutes of warm-up postures. They also feature slow, simple sun salutations, two rounds of a flow (with some mild stretching, strengthening, and challenge), a peak pose, and cool down. Every class ends with at least 7 minutes of savasana, a guided meditation, and breathwork.
Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga uses a chair as support for a gentle class that focuses on flexibility and mobility. This class is mostly seated and perfect for those with limited mobility.
What to expect: Chair Yoga is mostly seated with some optional standing postures that use the chair for support. Even though it is seated, there are still mild challenges to help you stretch and strengthen your whole body.
Yin/Restorative Yoga
Yin/Restorative Yoga is our slowest, most meditative class. Poses are all done on the mat and use props to hold the pose for several minutes. This class helps to let go of tension and stress, while stretching deeper connective tissues.
What to expect: Yin/Restorative classes feature approximately 7-10 poses that are held for 3-7 minutes. Many poses have different options using props to create a more yin (mild stretch) or restorative (relaxed) experience.
Beginner Classes
Beginner yoga and meditation classes are aimed to help the novice who is interested in the practice but doesn’t know where to start. These classes focus on the basics.
What to expect: Beginner classes include explanations of the practices, demonstrations or poses or practices, and how to modify poses or alternative practices.
