HOT POWER

This 75-minute class is a hybrid between a Vinyasa class and hot yoga. You get the best of both worlds: the fun flow of a Vinyasa class and the de-toxification benefits of a hot class.

Some experience with flowing yoga is recommended. Please bring a towel and water.

QIGONG

Qigong (or Chi Kung) is an ancient system of self-healing exercises developed in China and practiced for thousands of years. Qi refers to the energy that infuses all life and gong means the practice or work of the cultivation of Qi (energy). Qigong practice leads to better health and vitality and a tranquil state of mind. Like yoga, Qigong joins movement and breathing with intent to produce noticeable stress reduction benefits. Moving the body gently in optimized posture, deepening the breath and clearing the mind allows Qi to circulate to the organs, glands and tissues and maximize function. A constant flow of Qi throughout the body heals and maintains good health. Physical requirement: you must be able to stand under your own strength for one hour. All levels. 60 minutes.
