Class Descriptions

Yoga Bliss offers its classes in the Vinyasa Yoga Tradition, linking powerful breath with dynamic, flowing movements. This style is often referred to as meditation in motion. Vinyasa cultivates strength, endurance, flexibility, balance, focus & serenity.

Vinyasa Yoga
Pronunciation: vin-ya-sa
Vinyasa means breath-synchronized movement. When used to describe a style of yoga, Vinyasa means that poses will flow from one to another in conjunction with the breath. Variations in Sun Salutations are often used followed by standing sequences, balancing poses and seated poses. Beginner to Intermediate.

Power Yoga Basics
Based upon the same sequence found in our Baptiste Power Vinyasa classes, Basics slows down the pace and focuses on the fundamental building blocks of power vinyasa yoga. These classes will include detailed alignment of yoga postures, correct breathing, and the mental and physical benefits of power vinyasa yoga. Basics classes build a foundation for both new and experienced yogis alike to grow from.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues, such as the ligaments, bones, and the joints of the body that normally are not exercised very much in a more active style of asana practice such as Vinyasa.

Yin Yoga is suitable for all levels of students even beginners. It is a perfect complement to our Power Vinyasa classes which is are dynamic and a muscular (yang) style of yoga that emphasize internal heat, and the lengthening and contracting of your muscles. Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis, and lower spine.

While initially this style of yoga can seem quite passive, or soft, yin practice can be quite challenging due to the long duration of the poses. Poses can remain in the held anywhere from one to twenty minutes! In this class we will explore holding poses for about 4-5 minutes. Yin and yang tissues respond quite differently to being exercised. You really need to experience this to really know what Yin Yoga is all about. Please Join us.
