Kundalini Yoga
Kundalini Yoga combines dynamic movement, breathwork, and sound healing to awaken spiritual energy. This practice enhances vitality, balances hormones, and promotes mental clarity through specific kriya sequences and meditation. Ideal for all levels seeking physical and spiritual transformation.
Hot 26+2 Yoga
Hot 26+2 Yoga features 26 postures and two breathing exercises in infrared-heated rooms (102-105F). This structured practice improves flexibility, detoxifies through sweat, and builds strength while focusing on balance and mental focus for all experience levels.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga uses props to support the body in passive poses for deep relaxation. This class reduces stress, activates the parasympathetic nervous system, and promotes emotional healing through extended pose holding in a calm environment.
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow synchronizes breath with movement through dynamic pose sequences. This class builds strength, improves coordination, and enhances mindfulness while offering modifications for different skill levels in heated or warm environments.
