  CORE FUSION® YOGA

Designed to shift your energy and improve overall wellbeing, Core Fusion® Yoga inspires guests with a combination of yoga asanas that raise the body's heat and increase cardio endurance, intense core functional training to strengthen and tone the core, Qi Gong circular movements, and stretching to move energy and produce a state of inner calm and balance.  Note: Previous yoga experience is recommended.

YOGA LEVELS + DESCRIPTIONS
LEVEL 1
This class is for absolutely anyone of any age, shape or size to experience the many benefits of yoga. No experience or flexibility required. Focus is on the correct positioning of basic yoga postures within one’s own body, while using props to increase the freedom and mobility of the body while concentrating on the breath to quiet the mind.

LEVEL 1/2
This class will dive deep into all asanas with a non-aggressive approach and moderate pace which allows you to dissolve into a more open, graceful body and relax into a steady mind. This class is open to all levels, but due to the slower tempo it is appropriate for beginners as well.

LEVEL 2
This class explores the beginning stages of advanced poses while keeping a focus on developing stamina and flexibility. After learning the basics, we concentrate on jumping forward and back in sun salutations, binding, explore challenging asanas, arm balances, inversions, and more vigorous sequences. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

LEVEL 2/3
In this vigorous yoga practice we build strength internally as well as externally. We cultivate concentration, confidence, and endurance. This class explores asanas with advanced variations and leads us to find our true inner potential by playing the edge while embracing the challenge. An ongoing practice is recommended. (Recommended for students with at least 6 months of practice.)

ABSOLUTE BEGINNER YOGA
Join us for this simple class designed exclusively for new yoga students. In this straight-forward and supportive class environment, you will be introduced to the basics of yoga and gain confidence to attend a Level 1 and Level 1/2 class at exhale! Learn basic yoga postures, art and benefits of breathing, correct positioning, and how to incorporate props into your practice. We recommend that you wear loose, comfortable clothing when practicing yoga.

 CORE FUSION® YOGA
Developed by Elisabeth Halfpapp, one of the innovators of Core Fusion®, Core Fusion® Yoga is yet another transformational experience efficiently programmed into a 60-minute class that is fueled by music. Designed to shift your energy and improve overall wellbeing, Core Fusion® Yoga inspires guests with a combination of yoga asanas that raise the body's heat and increase cardio endurance, intense core functional training to strengthen and tone the core, Qi Gong circular movements, and stretching to move energy and produce a state of inner calm and balance. Note: Previous yoga experience is recommended. 

MUSIC YOGA FLOW 
This class is geared for students looking to have a great time in a consistent flow from pose to pose. Set to great music, including rock, reggae, hip hop, blues and world beats, each flow class offers an inspiring message and a deeply relaxing finish.

PRANAVAYU
PranaVayu is a unique style of power yoga that uses sequencing to make difficult postures easier. Characterized by postural efficiency and deepening flows that honor the breath, body, and mind, PranaVayu classes are fun and challenging. Ultimately helping you return to a sense of calm – bringing you back to center, back to your breath, and leaving you open to experience life with a renewed sense of curiosity.

VINYASA FLOW
A flowing class that integrates breath and movement, inner and outer alignment, strength and flexibility accompanied by music for a rejuvenating and balancing effect. Our classes are ritual journeys that respond to the changing needs of urban life by infusing the highest quality of teaching with a transformative approach to yoga.

YIN + RESTORATIVE
Restore balance with this complement to your active practice, sports or other exercise, and your yang-dominant lifestyle. Yin Yoga uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body - the tendons, ligaments and cartilage - which are difficult to energize and open. This deep, passive practice settles you into poses for 3-10 minutes, bringing you inward. This practice increases flexibility, especially in the spine and hips and is very restorative and rehabilitative for the joints and muscles. Psychologically, it connects you to your intuitive and creative self. It is an excellent complement to other Yoga or Core Fusion® classes. This class is appropriate for men and women of all ages, fitness and flexibility levels.
