Kirsten's approach to teaching is both fun and compassionate, while direct and informative. She uses breath centered flows to bring awareness to the body and mind and modifications are offered allowing students to choose a more beginning or more advanced practice according to their needs. Kirsten believes that a physically and mentally challenging practice, can help us find a sense of calm and deepen our practice by applying what we do on the mat, off the mat. Each class ends with a quote that is intended to help students connect to their glorious selves. 9:15 AM - Zen (@inwithzen): Zenovia brings a fitness-based approach to Vinyasa style flow, playing rhythmic and expressive tunes that motivate. Students will focus on linking conscious breath with a dynamic and mindful flow in addition to building strength, flexibility and concentration. You can expect a judge free space filled with fun energy and a great cardio & strength building workout combined with calming the mind and breath work. 10:30 AM - Quamay (@eye.three): Born and raised in the Birth-Place of Hip-Hop (Bronx, NY), Quamay is bridging the gap between ancient philosophy and contemporary times through the lens of Yoga and Meditation. Quamay is known for his authentic, non-judge-mental teaching style along with compassion centered philosophy. Student’s have often referred to his class as a Yoga/Meditation/Therapy session all in one! Filling the room with enormous warm energy, his love of hip-hop and wisdom, he wishes to use this tool of yoga to help heal the world through self-realization and mindfulness. Expect to sweat, but the only challenge will be yourself! 11:45 AM - Maureen (@moga.is.yoga): Class has a Vinyasa flow base: "vinyasa" means "to place in a special way." In vinyasa flow classes, we seek to match the breath with the movements of the body. Class will also introduce concepts from Afrikan Kemetic Yoga. Kemet is the original name for the African country now known as Egypt. Kemetic yoga stresses the conservation of movement - no movements are wasted. Class will be lively and set to ambient music, soul and old skool hip-hop! Excellent intro for those new(er) to yoga or who prefer a slightly slower-paced format. * Classes will be photographed, but students can elect not to have photos of them taken.
