From the specific placement of the body in a given posture, to the transitions between poses in the Sun Salutation, the goal of this class, at every level, is to clarify.

Hardcore
Hardcore is a fierce blend of the most effective pilates techniques and circuit training. This intense, high-energy pilates workout is designed to deliver serious results including toning and improved core strength. The warp-speed pace is only part of the charm. Our instructor, Leslie Goldman, is as motivating and talented as they come. All fitness levels welcome, but prepare to be challenged.
Hardcore Lite
All the intensity and fun of Hardcore packed into a 30-minute class.
Hatha Flow Yoga
An invigorating yet steady flow that will inspire total body connection and ease of motion. All levels welcome. Beginners will be led gently and advanced enthusiasts will be given opportunities to deepen the practice. Each class includes gentle flow sequences as well as time to ‘be’ in some of the poses- new focus postures will be explored in each class and then woven into the flow. Focus and attention to proper alignment during flow is taught with specific and individualized attention for each participant. Conscious breathing and awareness of energy is encouraged throughout.
Pilates Mat
Performed on a mat, we'll take you through a series of controlled movements that flow together to strengthen your core muscles and lengthen the tight muscles of your lower body.
Power Flow Yoga
For those who love to flow, move and build heat, this class is a dynamic blend of strength, movement and breathing. And the ever changing vinyasa is infused with good tunes and challenging flow. Be prepared to sweat.
Yin Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a healing practice, which uses props for every pose so students can feel safe and supported. The goal for each pose is total — but active — relaxation so you can gain balance in the body and improve the overall health of the spine. Yin Restorative Yoga targets the body’s connective tissue with a focus on the lower spine, hips and pelvis. Muscles are cool and postures are held 3-5 minutes with props used only as needed.
This is an excellent practice as a supplement to more active styles of Yang Yoga. (Yang Yoga focuses on muscular movement and contraction, generating heat while strengthening the body and elevating the heart rate.)
