11:15 - 11:45am Lunchtime Power Pilates (Marina)
Too busy to give yourself an hour to workout? Try our 30minute high intesity Pilates class designed to do on your lunch hour. Focusing on abs, hips, and thighs.
5:30 - 6:30pm Mat Pilates (Marina)
This is a mat class. Two of the key elements of Pilates are core muscle strength* and spinal alignment. The core musculature is loosely defined as the spine, abdomen, pelvis, hips, and the muscles that support these structures. Some of the main core muscles are the erector spinae (located in your back along your spine), the internal and external obliques (the sides of your abdomen), the transverse abdominis (located deep in your gut, this muscle pulls your belly button in toward your spine), the rectus abdominis (the "six-pack"), and hip flexors (in your pelvis and upper leg).

5:30pm Entry Level Beginner (Hatha) Yoga (Monica)
Hatha Yoga is the most widely practiced form of yoga in the world. Hatha Yoga uses postures (asana) and conscious breathing (Pranayama) in combination with mental focus to develop awareness, strength and flexibility, and relaxation. Through proper alignment and mindful actions of the body, Hatha Yoga brings balance, strength, and a sense of well-being to the practitioner. This is a beginner class. We have all the props & mats, so just wear something comfortable.
Benefits of Hatha Yoga
Thursdays:
5:30 - 6:30pm Mat Pilates (Marina)
This is a mat class. See description above under Tuesday.
Fridays:
5:30 - 6:30pm Vinyasa Flow Yoga (Laurel)
Yoga Flow uses movement and breath together to produce a "flow" of postures that lead from one to the next. "I tried yoga and it was too slow for me. I need something fast paced." If this is your story, you are needlessly missing out on the wonders of yoga, because there is yoga out there so fast it will make your head spin and soak your neighbors with the sweat coming off your brow!
Saturdays:
9:00 - 10:00 am Vinyasa Flow Yoga (Laurel)
10:15 - 11:00 am Prenatal Yoga (Monica)
Prenatal yoga classes are more popular than ever. When paired with a cardiovascular exercise such as walking, yoga can be an ideal way to stay in shape during your pregnancy. This age-old practice keeps you limber, tones your muscles, and improves your balance and circulation, with little, if any, impact on your joints.
Yoga is also beneficial because it helps you learn to breathe deeply and relax, which will come in handy as you face the physical demands of labor, birth, and motherhood. In fact, one of the first things you learn in a yoga class is how to breathe fully. The breathing technique known as ujjayi requires you to take in air slowly through your nose, filling your lungs, and exhale completely until your stomach compresses.
Learning how to do ujjayi breathing primes you for labor and childbirth by training you to stay calm when you need it most. When you're in pain or afraid, your body produces adrenalin and may produce less oxytocin, a hormone that makes labor progress. A regular yoga practice will help you fight the urge to tighten up when you feel pain, and show you how to relax instead.
