Priya Yoga

Priya yoga is a unique style of yoga that provides the framework for deep exploration and release of long-held tension and stress. The focus on breath and grounding in each yoga asana allows muscles to unwind and joints to open, freeing the body for a joyful expression of flow and grace.

Nia

Nia is a movement practice that combines elements of dance, martial arts and healing arts to provide total-body cardiovascular conditioning. Martial arts such as tae kwon do, tai chi and aikido bring in power and strength, while jazz, modern dance and Duncan dance offer opportunities for playfulness and personal expression. Aspects of yoga, Alexander Technique and movement awareness foster self-healing and personal growth. Blended together, these different modalities create the unique practice of Nia.

Nia can be adapted to any level of fitness. It can be very athletic or extremely gentle depending on the individual’s capabilities and desires.

Private Sessions

Yoga therapy sessions are available by appointment. Individual sessions offer the opportunity to more deeply explore personal health challenges and body issues. Thai yoga massage sessions are also available by appointment. Thai yoga is a type of assisted yoga practice that involves therapeutic stretching, joint mobilization and rhythmic compression along energy lines. This practice is done fully-clothed on a futon with a certified Thai yoga therapist. Recipients enjoy deep relaxation and renewed energy.
