Vinyasa is a dynamic style of yoga that links movement and breath to attain balance in the mind and body. From the Sanskrit “to place in a special way,” vinyasa aligns a deliberate sequence of poses with the breath to achieve a continuous flow. Inhalation is usually connected to upward, open movements, while exhalation is often tied to downward movements or twists.

This very gentle class is an ideal practice for people for whom movement is a challenge. Many yoga postures, breathing techniques, meditation and relaxation techniques can be performed, with modifications, from a chair. A portion of the class takes place seated, and a portion takes place standing behind the chair, using it for support. Chairs are anchored on yoga mats to prevent slipping. No part of the class takes place on the floor. Two yoga blocks or two thick books are helpful for this class, also.

Chair yoga is for everyone-- regardless of your age or physical condition, you can experience the health benefits of yoga! Meets via Zoom Tuesdays at 2:30 PM.

This Kripalu-inspired multi-level flow class is for new and seasoned yoga students.

Sean first starting taking yoga at Bloom almost a decade ago. He has recently completed his 200-hour yoga teacher training from the Amrit Yoga Institute and has worked for 30 years as a counselor in a variety of settings including school, community, college, and private practice. Sean's mixed-level class is a unique blend of yoga and counseling-related themes. Sean’s goal over time is to help everyone better understand how our ego/worry mind can negatively impact our lives while using Asana (yoga poses) as well as Pratyahara (withdrawal of attention to external disturbances and internal distractions) and Pranayama (breath work) as tools to help build resiliency. Each class is modified to best meet student ability levels and needs.

Shailene's teaching focuses on yin yoga, a style which is ideal for people of most fitness levels who want to develop a relaxed practice or balance an intense exercise routine. Yin is slow-paced style, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine with long-held asanas. The asana sequences are designed to stimulate the channels of the subtle body, known as meridians in Chinese medicine, and as nadis in hatha yoga.

Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the body's connective tissue—the tendons, fasciae, and ligaments —.with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility. A meditative approach to yoga, its goals are awareness of inner silence and bringing to light a universal, interconnected awareness. Yin practice allows the practitioner to slow down, relax, and turn inward, which helps alleviate stress and restores energy levels.
