Class Descriptions
Each class will be offered for a maximum of ten participants in each class.

Belly Dance Level I-  Class begins with a short full body warm up, increasing strength and flexibility. Through slow beginning movements, learn to isolate arm, upper and lower body movements. Drills and combinations across the floor, we will focus on technique, posture, and enjoyment. Gain basic knowledge of this diverse and exciting dance form aiding in a strong and healthy mind and body. Please wear exercise clothes with either a tank top or sports bra and a hip scarf for accents.

Belly Dance Level II -  Build upon the Level I of Belly Dance with a more intense workout and delve into deeper into the structures of movements. Choreography as well as costume advice and beginner student performances may be involved. Great fun while promoting a trim mid-section!! Please wear exercise clothes with either a tank top or sports bra and a hip scarf for accents.

Combined Yoga Levels -  Fundamental yoga combined with a twist of some optional challenging sequences. If you are ready to move things up a little notch in your life, then come enjoy new or familiar realms of moving that body!

Fundamental Yoga -  Ease into Yoga through breath awareness and basic poses. Individual attention is emphasized to ensure body alignment and enhanced breathwork.  Loosen your body to allow a greater infusion of tranquility. This mindful approach yields calm energy and an open sensation of being. Great for beginners.

Restorative Yoga With gentle stretches and the use of props through well-supported poses, this class will provide the opportunity to soothe and rejuvenate the body by lingering quietly in different restorative positions…bring your blankets (props) and prepare to relax! 20 minutes of this type of relaxation is equivalent to a 4-hour nap!


Yin Yoga Workshop -  Yin Yoga is a unique form of yoga that incorporates traditional yoga poses. It differs in that these postures are held passively and statically for longer periods of time. There are many benefits to this form of practicing. Physically it works to lubricate the joints of the body increasing health and mobility. Energetically it acts much like an acupuncture treatment helping to free up energy blocks to the organs and systems of the body. Yin yoga is a personal journey that is intense yet profoundly relaxing.
Prior yoga experience helpful.
