Classes

At the Healthy Life Studio, we strive to offer a well-rounded approach to developing a healthy lifestyle. We offer several different styles of yoga practice, mind-body coaching, and mat pilates. With many classes to choose from, you're sure to find your balance here.

Yoga

  • Foundational Yoga - A multi-level class that emphasizes and builds on the foundations of asana (postures) and pranayama (breathing) to develop strength, flexibility and balance the building blocks of a sound practice.  All levels welcome.
  • Intermediate Yoga - A dynamic class exploring how asana can be linked with breath to warm, strengthen, and free the body, mind, and spirit.  Expand your confidence by exploring more advanced asanas, included inversions and backbends.  Previous yoga experience recommended.
  • Restorative Yoga - A gentle practice designed to stimulate the immune system, restore balance, and relieve stress.  This class is ideal for those with limited flexibility or strength.  All levels are welcome.
  • Easy Flow Yoga - A slow, flowing yoga class that will warm the body. You will leave feeling vibrant, energized, centered, and ready to start your day.
  • Yin Yoga - targets the connective tissues such as the ligaments, bones and the surrounding joints that are not fully exercised in a more active style of asana practice. The poses are held longer than in typical classes, letting these areas receive deep stimulation, increasing circulation and creating healing potential in the joints. Suitable for almost all students, Yin Yoga is a perfect complement to the dynamic, muscular (yang) styles of yoga. Yin also deeply relaxes the nervous system & cultivates a meditative mind.

Pilates

  • Pilates - Method was developed in the 1920 by trainer Joseph Pilates as a way to create contrology or coordination of the body, mind and spirit.  The method uses slow, controlled, deliberate movement to focus deeply on the core muscles of the body, such as the back, abdomen and hips. These movements are intended to:
    • increase body awareness
    • tone the body
    • balance strength and flexibility
    • improve spinal alignment and posture
    • teach breath control
  • At the Healthy Life Studio, Pilates is taught on the floor, using little more than a blanket and the weight of your own body.  The exersizes can be modified for any level of student and our non-competitive, welcoming atmosphere make this a fantastic time to start your practice.
