Pranayama, the art of breathing:
Pranayama is the vital part of the yogic science. This class focuses on breathing techniques for healthy living. This class is divided in 3 sections: Theory, movement and breathing meditation.
In the theory part of the class, you will learn about the benefits of each breathing technique and meditation taught that day.
You will then move the body with a short vinyasa sequence to prepare the body for your meditation.
And in the last part of the class, you will put the theory into practice and learn the art of breathing.

This class is a traditional yoga practice, that includes a seated mediation, light stretching, a strong mid standing section and a very relaxing guided sound healing savasana.
Vinyasa classes coordinate breath and movement, encouraging you to look within and to go deep into the body and the mind. These classes are slow and strong all at the same time and will leave you feeling energized and light for the day.
Core Class:
Just as the name says this is a strong core class that incoorporates props. The intention is to work on the building a strong core that will not only aid in the other asanas but also helps to prevent injuries in the back, hips and knees. This class is recommended for those that are spending alot of time in the surf. Whether you are new to yoga or just wanted to challenge yourself this is the class for you.

Hatha Flow
Surf stretch and Restorative: This class is excellent for any post-physical activity such as running, surfing, biking, etc. stretching legs harmstrings, shoulders, arms, hips and correcting poor postures.
In this class, the main practice remains on the ground and concentrate on stretching poses that are held for a longer period of time, often challenging our commitment to stillness.
