Class Descriptions

All Beginner Yoga is open to all levels & includes mindful, slow paced floor poses, seated postures, spinal twisting, standing postures, gentle back bends, and deep breathing.  Props will be used when needed.  Great class for those new to yoga and for the experienced student as well.

All Level Yoga introduces more challenging sun salutations, standing poses, back bends, twists, & balancing poses, building on what you learned in the beginner classes.  More advanced postures, including inversions, will be introduced.

Ashtanga Yoga uses a precise sequential order of postures linked by breath.  The Ashtanga Primary Series will be the focus.  Movement, sun salutations & breath are key components.

Kundalini Yoga is an ancient form of yoga that was brought to the west by Yogi Bhajan, founder of 3HO (the Healthy, Happy, Holy Organization).  Although Kundalini had not previously been taught to the public, Yogi Bhajan felt that everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy its benefits.  The Kundalini is untapped energy or prana at the base of the spine that can be drawn up through the body awakening each of the seven chakras. Full enlightenment occurs when this energy reaches the Crown Chakra. Kundalini energy is often represented as a snake coiled at the base of the spine.  Each Kundalini Yoga series is done in conjunction with a specific breath that intensifies the effects of the poses with the purpose of freeing energy in the lower body and allowing it to move upwards. Kundalini sequences called kriyas may consist of rapid, repetitive movements done with breath or holding a pose while breathing in a particular way.

Pre-natal Yoga will provide safe and beneficial yoga postures for the pregnant woman, with emphasis on adapting your yoga practice throughout pregnancy. 

Pilates Blend  (mat class) combines the toning benefits of Pilates with the essence of Yoga.  The Pilates technique, invented 70 years ago by Joseph H. Pilates, is  a series of controlled movements to engage one's body and mind.  It focuses on improving flexibility and strength for the overall body, but doesn't build bulk. Blended with the Eastern mindset of inner spirit, Pilates Blend is a holistic approach to Classical Mat Pilates Exercises.  These classes are 60 minutes in length.

Restorative Yoga is a gentle and meditative style of Yoga that uses props to support the body to deepen the benefits of the poses. It is a relaxing and restful practice that creates specific physiological responses that are beneficial to health and can reduce the effects of stress. It is a wonderful adjunct to an active yoga practice.  It can also be a great first class for a beginner or for those recovering from injury or illness.

Tai Chi consists of slow, gentle, non-strenuous movements ideal for persons of any age who want to stay flexible, increase energy and reduce stress.  It promotes health, balance, coordination and tranquility and leads to more graceful movement.  Please contact Mitch directly for more information or to register 610-873-1923.

T'ien Lung Tao is an art of self-protection of self-preservation and most importantly, of self-perfection. Techniques taught in our system are designed to be understood not memorized. Reliance is not on the mechanics of the technique, but the understanding that follows its execution. Shedding everything that is unnecessary is the primary goal of T'ien Lung Tao.  Please contact ShiBo Knapp at 484-883-9736 to register for or receive details on T'ien Lung Tao.

Yin Yoga is a quiet practice that allows the connective tissues and the joints of the body to open, increasing flexibility while creating a calm and centered mind.  Postures are held three to five minutes.  This class is a perfect complement for your traditional “yang” yoga practice.

All classes are 75 minutes in length, unless otherwise noted.  Namaste.
