All Levels Harmoniously Linking Flowing, Calming, Fluid Graceful Movements Unified by the Breath

Class Descriptions

Combinations of the shoulders, back, chest, hips and hamstrings will be covered in each class to promote greater flexibility and strength, improving posture and relieving stress. Special attention to building core (abdominal) strength (lots of abs upon request).

Rhonda has a real gift of offering options to each pose for students to enjoy the challenged and feel successful, allowing every student to benefit from each pose in each class, at any level.

Yoga Slow Flow~ Especially good for newcomers or those who would like to master the more advanced poses at a slower pace. All levels can benefit from a refresher on the basic balance between effort, ease and surrender. This class will move slower yet stronger to build a strong foundations to further in the practice. Emphasizing alignment principles of the basic postures while exploring the variations and modifications of the more challenging ones (learning to listen to the body). Special attention given to stretch deeper by holding lengthening poses longer for better flexibility and more range of motion in flows. Centering on the mind/body connection with breathing (pranayama) techniques, stress release and relaxation skills. Level 1-2

Vinyasa Yoga Flow~ A energizing yet easy to follow Vinyasa style yoga class that "flow's" yoga poses linked one into another guided by the breath. Sequences of Sun~ Salutations, balance, standing, seated and core strengthening postures are designed to sculpt the body, improve flexibility, increase coordination and muscle tone while making your spirit happy. Holding some poses longer to deepen awareness of alignment in more advanced variations, better flexibility added by the breath in lengthen poses and introducing arm balances. Moving meditation in action, fully enjoying the moment with the ocean horizon as a focus point. Level 1-3

Fluid Flow Yoga~ A Creative Vinyasa (Flow) style yoga class set to fun upbeat music. Fluid sequences flow yoga poses one into another on a current of synchronized breath. Added fluidity, repetitious movements in the transitions from poses that naturally increase full body strength, stamina, and flexibility while calming and steadying the mind. True moving meditation in fluid flowing action fully present in the moment. Level 1-3 Power

Power Yoga Light~ Shining the "light" on the basics of "Power" allowing the true benefits out of the "Practice" to "Shine" through. Power Yoga Light an invigorating style of yoga ... Still challenging the more seasoned students (arm balances are catching ON!) while presenting modifications to the newer students to ease into the Flow. Level 1-3 Power Variations in poses for both beginners and advanced students makes this a great class to try Power Yoga

Core Power Yoga~ Vinyasa (Fluid Flow) style Yoga in harmony with Pilates. Offering a creative blend yoga flowing sequences to build strength and endurance, combined with the Pilatés Method of Core (The "Core"- the body’s core postural muscles or the stabilizers of the body: the abdominals, hips, lower back and thighs) conditioning to sculpt and tone the mid-section. Promoting strong posture, longer leaner muscles, more freedom of movement for injury while improving flexibility with deep freeing hip and shoulder opening postures to counteract the ill effects of tension in the body. Rhonda guides all levels in harmony. Level 1-3 Power

Power Yoga Fluid Flow~ Will be the most "powerful" Vinyasa Ashtanga based class offered. Moving through "Vinyasa's" continuous yoga poses flowing one into another on a current of synchronized breath with fun challenging transitions and balance poses. Less direction will be given to better set a fluid pace, yet modifications will still be offered. This allows students to grow deeper in "their practice". All levels are welcome, just able to go at their own pace... remembering every pose is not for everybody. Intermediate/Advanced Level 2-3

Level Guide

Rhonda has a real gift of offering options to each pose for students to enjoy the challenged and feel successful, allowing every student to benefit from each pose at any level in all each classes offered.

Level 1 -2 Brand New to Yoga or Students wanting to go deeper into the poses, all physical fitness levels welcome...modifications offered. Slower paced Flows, holding poses longer, focusing on improving flexibility, strength and stress release. Special attention on correct alignment and breathing in basic yoga postures.

Level 1-3 All levels welcome to Balance effort, ease and surrender in learning to Flow from pose to pose. New Poses that have varying levels of difficulty are offered. Yoga Flow will focus on moving "Fluidly" with the breath through sun Salutations...Slow Flow will now take time to master the more difficult poses and Arm Balances. Special attention to building core (abdominal) strength.

Level 1-3 Power Flowing with more Fluidly ...Balancing a slow strong pace with some faster Fluid Flows. More advanced postures and sequences are introduced. Some may require a bit more strength, stamina, and flexibility (modifications will be offered to learn these new poses with more ease). Newer students welcome...just take it easy. Challenging the more seasoned student while offering modifications to newer students. All Levels practicing in Harmony

Level 2-3 Vinyasa Yoga experienced and or in good physical condition and ready for more challenging poses and some vigorous sequences. A perfect class to explore and expand your practice.

The Key is to learn to go at your own pace in all classes and not push past your peace level. In time and with "practice" the poses will come much easier. There is no need to worry about being perfect in the pose (we are all going to look a little different in the poses)... just stay calm ... listen to the alignment instructions and find what works best you in that moment. (you have the power to control how hard the class is) Simply learn to "practice" with your own unique needs, take the risk to find your edge, taking brakes when needed and the journey will continue with enhanced inner awareness, peace of mind and greater ease and clarity in the poses will follow each class (that's all there is to perfect Yoga...just "practicing").
