"Through consciously learning and practicing hatha yoga postures as well as pranayama (breathing techniques), meditation, and relaxations, we can better integrate our body, mind, and spirit so that we feel more relaxed and alive, and also more connected with the divine spirit that dwells within each of us."

KRIPALU YOGA
Kripalu Yoga offers deep respect for the individual, and each person is encouraged to unfold at his or her own pace. Kripalu yoga is wonderful for body, mind, and spirit. For the body, it stretches and tones muscles, releases chronic tension, improves circulation, energizes, and refreshes. For the mind, it calms restless thoughts, cultivates concentration, supports mental clarity and confidence, and promotes self-awareness. For the spirit, it connects one to one's Self, encourages self-acceptance, honors inner wisdom, and invites deep stillness.

PILATES-BASED MATWORK
Pilates Matwork helps to build a strong "core" -- strengthening and lengthing the torso. Based on the work of Joseph Pilates in the 1920's. it helps inviduals develop body awareness, balance, and control. It improves posture, body alignment, and overall well-being. Strong abdominals are one of the greatest benefits of the matwork.
