FLOW

Flow is a vinyasa yoga style. And vinyasa means just connecting breath and movement. So every body is different. We all breathe at different paces. Flow gives you the space and the permission to go as fast as you need to, or as slow as you need to. The whole practice helps you get out your mind and really into your body. If you want to come for just the physical benefits, you'll get stronger. You'll get more flexible, more mobile. It'll help you prevent injury, help you recover from injury. But it's also a work in. So you get this great benefit for your mind. Yoga is a big metaphor for life. In practice, we breathe through the ups and downs, through the backbends and the folds, and it's the same thing in life. We're just learning to breathe through the ups and downs, through the waves of life.

SURRENDER

Surrender is Lifetime's take on yin yoga. Yin is a style of yoga in which you're holding postures for a very, very long time. And most of the postures require a lot of focus and attention. Surrender's our chance to slow down. To just observe how we're feeling in the moment, without judging ourselves. To just be present. It could be an absolute beginner-- someone who's never been in a yoga room. Or someone [? that's ?] practiced yoga for 20 years. It benefits everyone. It's a chance to open up deep tissue-- deep connective tissue-- to watch your breath, and be very, very still. A lot of people experience really deep healing, not just of their physical tissues, but all sorts of old, habit patterns, ideas, thoughts, traumas, sort of evaporate and melt when you just let yourself be really present and feel whatever comes up.

FIRE

Fire is a fusion of high-intensity interval training and yoga. High-intensity interval training is 30 seconds of hard work followed by 30 seconds of rest. The benefit is to get your heart rate up, to burn fat, and to get an awesome sweat. We then bring in the yoga to move all of the lactic acid that has a tendency to build up in our body. We'll hold the postures for three or four little breaths until we move on and we do the high-intensity interval training again. The two come together and they center around simply the breath.

SOL

Ashtanga; the foundation of our practice, meets Vinyasa. Calm your mind with concentrated breathing as you strengthen the core muscle groups of your body. A vigorous practice, you will focus on postures from the primary series set to music.
