RIPPLE
Slow Flow Yoga
Water Element | Hot 90-95 or Warm 80-85
Class Length - 60 or 45 min
Like a ripple in the water this slow flow class has a meditative pace that links movement with breath at a much slower speed. Deep, mindful sequences help focus and relax you as you hold and sink into the alignment of each pose. Because of the slower pace, poses are more accessible and it is a great class for beginners. But slower doesn't mean less challenging. Learning to find your breath in longer holds provides an opportunity to increase the mind body connection. Additional benefits include building strength, flexibility and balance. Expect to feel a wave of calm and rejuvenation that is created in this class.
Appropriate for all levels. Great for beginners.
GROUND
Yin Yoga - Flexibility & Release
Earth Element | Warm 80-85
Class Length - 60 min
If you are looking for a grounded vibe where you can relax into longer holds and stretch, GROUND is the class you need. With the perfect balance of stillness, slow speed and intentionality, the goal of this grounded yin class is to target the deep connective tissues of the body – the ligaments, joints and deep fascia network. Creating space to quiet the mind and heal, students experience balance in the nervous system with poses practiced on the floor. Through long supported holds, this class can help with flexibility, circulation, muscle recovery and is therapeutic for joints and mobility. The perfect compliment to a yang physical practice and the stresses of life, yin yoga can promote feelings of deep calm. Props such as bolsters, blocks and blankets are available and provided. Feel free to bring your own as well!
Appropriate for all levels. Great for beginners. Floor based.
MELT
Flow and Release - Vinyasa Flow / Yin Yoga
Water Element | Warm 80-85
Class Length - 75 or 60 min
If you are looking for the perfect combination of classes, this is your answer. This vinyasa to yin class meshes the invigoration of an intentional vinyasa flow and the mindful quiet floor practice of yin. Students are led through poses linking breath with movement to warm the body before embracing a sense of calm and stillness where the focus becomes the lengthening of the connective tissues. At OM8 this class is where SPARK meets GROUND. Blending these two creates a powerful class we like to call MELT, because that is exactly how it feels.
Appropriate for all levels.
