Yoga refers to the traditional physical and mental disciplines originating from India. The word is associated with meditative practices in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism, in which the ultimate goal of all activities is zen of the senses. Because we all need a little more balance in our lives. Literally.

Tsubo
In oriental therapy, tsubos are vital points along the energy meridians of the body and when these points are stimulated, they can provide astonishing health benefits. With three different levels for any participant, Vinyasa Yoga emphasizes ashtanga practices that create a continuous flow of breath and movement that heats up the body, cleanses and purifies the system, and ultimately leads us to a lighter, stronger body and a clear mind. Ashtanga II/II begins with the traditional ashtanga primary series, flowing through sun salutations and standing postures, and working up to inversions and challenging balancing poses for the intermediate to advanced student. Gentle Yoga is a restorative class for people looking to get into the sport.
