At Santosha our classes are rooted in the Yog-Vedantic and Sattva Yoga traditions.
Santosha yoga is a holistic, integrated approached to practicing yoga.
The entire being is considered, body, mind and soul.
A therapeutic level of heat may be added to some classes to allow for greater ease in stretching the tissue.
Himalayan
Kriya & Kundalini
Sattva Kriya & Kundalini comes from the Yog-Vedantic tradition in the Himalayan mountains of India.
​
This practice is designed to create awareness of our life force energy (prana) and allow us to develop the abilities to work with it through kriya, breath-work, movement, and mantra.
Increasing the body's ability to contain energy boosts the immune system. It also activates dormant and underused parts of the brain, and releases buildup of old/trapped energy from the energy centers creating balance.
This is an ancient yogic modality for holistic healing. If you are looking for a deeper yogic experience and to do something that will create health and change in your body/mind, come join us! All levels are welcome.
Yin Yoga
&
Pranayama
This class moves at a slow pace with props for support. We begin with a few pranayama techniques (breathing exercises) to get centered and grounded.
Yin Yoga is designed to allow for longer held static postures.
Postures may be held up to 5 minutes at a time to access deeper layers of connective tissue, aide in reducing stress and create deep relaxation.
Great for recovery and rehabilation and accessible to all levels.
Group Meditation Class & Sangha
This is a conscious gathering for group "silent" meditation.
It is open to all levels and all techniques provided they are not disruptive to the group. We will all start together as a group and will have 30 mins. to meditate depending on your preference.
​
We will finish by reading a passage from a relevant book for inspiration and then open the circle up for conscious sharing. This group is for uplifting support and to build community.
