*Yoga for Flexibility– Because our primary focus is to increase the flexibility of the body this is a slower paced class without a lot of flow to it which makes it a great class for beginners and athletes who are looking for a class with a little less of a flow sequence and a little more stretch.

In this class we will have a short discussion at the beginning of class, followed with asanas (poses), pranayama (breath) and meditation. This class is appropriate for all levels of students. It has a different flavor than other classes taught at Now and Zen, with an emphasis more on philosophy as well as utilizing the more classical yoga poses. Appropriate for all students.

*Therapeutic Yoga – This is an extremely gentle class.  We build strength, balance and flexibility without stressing the joints and adapting the poses for those who would like to use a chair.  We move at a slow pace and design the class specifically for the needs of the students in the class. This is a perfect class for people dealing with MS, Parkinson’s, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, RA, injury, oncology patients and seniors. Appropriate for all groups of students.

*Therapeutic Pilates- This class focuses on the core postural muscles used to stabilize the body. This form of exercise concentrates on the posture, breathing, with controlled movements which will help to increase flexibility, toning and strengthen the body. For some being on the floor is not feasible so we have developed a class in which the chair or wall are perfect options.  The movements will also be modified to meet the needs of the students in the class.  This is perfect for seniors or those with health issues that may stop them from joining a regular pilates class! Appropriate for all groups of students.

*Yoga for Core and Balance- Ignite the fire in your belly and improve your balance with this targeted class. Good balance comes with a strong core and a strong core is a result of balance work. Modifications and enhancements will be offered so that everyone may practice within their own ability. All levels of students are welcome, however you must be able to move comfortably up and down from the floor. Appropriate for groups B, C, D, E

*Stress Less Yoga- A calming, stress-relieving yoga class to stretch and strengthen the body gradually. Emphasis is on building awareness of the breath and the body. Poses are practiced at a slower pace. Appropriate for groups B,C,D,E

*Slow Flow Yoga- This class will move slowly with breath. We will start with easy warm up poses and move to a little more challenging poses as we go. The transitions will not be fast and is good for those who are starting out with some yoga knowledge.  It may not be appropriate for those with health issues (esp. wrists or knees). 

*Yoga For Strength and Longevity- This fun, playful class will focus on a practice intended to help you as you move forward in life by changing your body, changing your brain and giving you the drive, energy and sense of purpose to live your life on your terms for decades to come, through the use of props and yoga for all levels.

*Yin Yoga- Yin Yoga poses gently stretch and rehabilitate the connective tissues around our joints.  In order to get to the fascia (connective tissue) and ligaments we hold the poses for 3-5 minutes while relaxing the muscles.  Yin yoga is challenging mentally and physically for those who tend to gravitate to a more active style of yoga.  It is a nice way to compliment running, biking, tennis, pilates and active yoga practices.  Appropriate for all groups of students.
