Descriptions
Vinyasa Flow
We will flow through dynamic and creative sequencing to create a moving meditation that will generate internal heat and inspire focus of the mind. Class will be built upon a strong vinyasa and will be appropriate for those who are familiar with the foundations. Movement will lead to a guided relaxation.
Dharma Vinyasa
Dharma Yoga Shiva Namaskar Vinyasas are challenging and physically absorbing vinyasa classes. They reintegrate the flow of prana (life force) throughout the spinal column and facilitate the movement of that prana deep into all areas of the physical, metabolic, intuitive, and bliss bodies. This promotes harmony within all these layers so a concentrated state of radiant health is achieved. The highest crowning meditative asanas, pranayamas (breathing techniques), and Yoga Nidra (psychic sleep/savasana) are embedded in the deep roots of this practice.
Students will be asked to bring themselves to their edge. The instructor works with students to make sure they are working to their ability level so as to get the maximum benefit from their practice while maintaining a safe and nurturing environment.
Hot Dharma Vinyasa
This is TJ’s classic Dharma Vinyasa class in a heated room between 95-100 degrees.
Let your body warm up from the ambient temperature and the strong asana and enjoy being able to go deeper in the poses. Although this is a challenging class, TJ encourages students to work within their own ability. If a student needs a break they are encouraged to do so.
Don’t miss out on this amazingly refreshing class!

Prenatal Yoga
Join other women in a Yoga practice which builds strength and improves balance, making it easier to manage the extra weight and shifting of gravity that comes with pregnancy. It also helps you to stay connected to the range of physical & emotional changes you are experiencing. In this class we will practice Yoga Asanas to strengthen the spine, open the chest, improve circulation, improve posture and lift the spirit. We will also practice Pranayama or breath consciousness, which can give you energy and quiet the nervous system. Interweaving the practice of meditation will help to bring clarity & fearlessness to the mind.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga with postures or asanas that are held for comparatively long periods of time–five minutes or longer per pose is typical.
Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues—the tendons, fascia, and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. Yin Yoga poses are also designed to improve the flow of qi, the subtle energy said in Chinese medicine to run through the meridian pathways of the body. Improved flow of qi is hypothesized to improve organ health, immunity, and emotional well-being. Yin Yoga is not intended as a complete practice in itself, but rather as a complementary practice to balance the effects of more active forms of yoga and exercise.
