Hatha Yoga
An eclectic, dynamic and invigorating class that incorporates breathing, meditation, alignment and flowing movement, thoughtfully sequenced to build heat, balance and concentration. This class is designed to energize, strengthen and create resiliency in the body.
Qi Gong
This class will focus on the Qi Gong practices from the system of I Liq Chuan. We will be using awareness and mindfulness while going deeply into sensing and exploring the different energies: Yin, Yang and Center/Neutral, in each part of your body. You will learn how to express and manifest these energies using correct structure that allows the Qi (energy) to flow effortlessly. You will come to understand that power comes from the Neutral energy – the balance of Yin and Yang rather than muscle strength. With consistent practice, I Liq Chuan can be very helpful in improving your health, mental concentration and focus, relaxation and, most importantly, a general increase in your awareness level.
Restorative Yoga
Healing Yoga combines energy work, restorative yoga and guided visualization to relax the body, calm the mind, and lift the spirit. Energy healing and guided visualization are powerful resources to help you overcome the stress and challenges of daily life. Students often enjoy health benefits such as lower stress levels, healthier heart rates, lower blood pressure, greater energy levels, shorter recovery time from injuries or illness, and a deeper sense of peace and well-being.
Vinyasa
The word Vinyasa means “breath-synchronized movement”. This class offers intelligently sequenced, balanced classes that are challenging yet available to all levels of practitioners.

The smooth and continuous flow deepens breathing, increases endurance, tests your balance and builds flexibility. Sequencing is often built around sun salutations.
Note: For Warm Vinyasa the room is heated to approx. 75- 80 degrees.
