Want a more personalized in-depth introduction to class...Now Offering Private and Small Group-Sessions, individual instruction to get started on a practice.

"Flow" describes the transitions between the Vinyasa yoga based poses...one pose gracefully linked to the other guided by the breath... This is Rhonda's favorite class to teach, where she can be most creative and has been on a 14 year journey developing this very popular class.

 

Power Flow~  is for those who want to take it to the next level...an exhilarating Power Vinyasa style class set to fun upbeat music designed to sculpt your body, improve flexibility, increase coordination and muscle tone while relieving stress (emphasizing  not  to be so serious). Vinyasa (flow)  explores stillness within motion, strength within ease, wisdom within action. The basic principle of Flow is for poses to be linked by the breath in an evolutionary flow that empowers each student to explore the full range of their potential wherever they find themselves. Moving meditation in action by listening to the body guided by the breath.  

Extended  flows build strength and endurance creating internal heat increasing the release of toxins.  Prepare to detoxify (sweat). Flowing in balancing poses to foster determination and lightness, core strengthening poses that sculpt the mid-section and add fluidity to the spine for injury prevention, and deeply freeing hip and shoulder opening postures to counteract the ill effects of tension in the body, all within the context of an energizing creative Vinyasa flow series.  

The fusion of warming parallel breath and quick flowing movements make this complete practice a memorable experience. Some poses and transitions are challenging (always something new to explore) and some soft and restorative. Joy is the natural outcome when you learn to orchestrate the intensity of the practice by listening to your breath and body, by playing the edge between pleasure and challenge. This can be an intense practice yet suitable for all fitness levels …remember to listen to the body, take a brake when you are in need and follow the modifications right for you.

Seasoned practitioners and newer students alike can enjoy learning the importance of staying in the moment and exploring flow from the inside out. Its not about how far you go into a pose, its about being where you are at the present moment as fully as possible and finding a deep sense of well-being and inner strength.  Modifications are presented for all levels of ability, needs and requests of participants. 

  Class levels

All Classes are open to all levels..a great time to get started...

The level and sequence of the postures are in accordance with the energy of all the classes. 

Tuesday~ will be the most "powerful" classes offered moving a little faster with fun challenging transitions and balance poses with less direction (this does not mean all participants are or should be advanced...many newcomers have started here) all levels are welcome,  just able to go at their own pace... remembering every pose is not for everybody. This allows students to grow deeper in "their practice".  Newcomers please come early for some instruction. (Intermediate Level)

Core Power Flow~ Power Flow now blending in the Pilatés Method for added focus on abdominal strength and proper alignment to flow with new found grace and power. More information (All Power levels in Harmony)

Thursday/Saturday~ will have more direction and modifications offered. Focusing still on strength and endurance... moving a little slower and stronger to create a firm foundation to grow in the practice. Focusing on Core strength  for a strong center to master difficult balance poses and upper body strength to put the power in the flow. (All levels in harmony)

All Classes are open for All Levels in Harmony... Challenging seasoned practitioners while offering the right modifications for newer students.. 

Intermediate Classes will  move a little faster, introducing more challenging poses and transitions.

 The Key is to learn to go at your own pace in all classes and not push past your peace level.  In time and with "practice" the poses will come much easier. There is no need to worry about being perfect in the pose (we are all going to look a little different in the poses)... just stay calm ... listen  to the alignment instructions and find what works best you in that moment.  (you have the power to control how hard the class is) Simply learn to  "practice" with your own unique needs, taking brakes when needed and the journey will continue with greater inner awareness,  peace of mind and greater ease in the poses each class will follow (that's all there is to perfection).

Please email Rhonda to meet prior to class for special instruction for those in need of some encouragement to get started.
