Santosha's Sweat IndexDesigned to help you find the class that's right for you.
Cool: These classes are more about stretching (and gentle strengthening) than sweating. A long sleeved cotton shirt would probably suit you fine. Warm: Peel off the long sleeves, you're in for a fairly athletic workout. Hot: You'll be sweating in no time with a vigorous, challenging practice in a room heated to 85 degrees. Gentle Yoga ~ CoolA rejuvenating class with a gentle flow. Focus on balance, range of motion, core strengthening, stretching and relaxation. All levels welcome.
This class is appropriate for all stages of complication-free pregnancy as well! Beginning Vinyasa ~ WarmAn entry level vinyasa class for those brand new to the practice or with limited experience. A chance to move slowly, focus on breathing, learn basic posture alignment and put it all together in a vinyasa flow. ("Vinyasa" in Sanskrit means "flow," which means you'll be flowing smoothly from pose to pose.) A great preparation for any of our Vinyasa classes!
