Other Offerings

Learn to calm the mind, quiet the senses, and increase concentration during this 30 minute guided meditation class. No experience necessary, and students of all spiritual backgrounds are welcome.

Deep Stretch

Deep stretch class will open all the muscle groups and go deep into places your flow practice just can’t get to. Most of the work will be done on the floor to enhance deeper hip, shoulder, and hamstring opening. Great class for beginners and advanced practitioners alike. Back to top.

Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga is a different approach to yoga asana. Often referred to as “a quiet practice,” poses are done lying or sitting down, close to the floor, and held for longer periods of time to target the connective tissue of the body. Yin Yoga increases flexibility, nourishes and lubricates the joints, and quiets the mind. Back to top.

Restorative Yoga w/Nehemiah

Restorative Yoga postures, Breathwork and various Energy-Body-Mind Self-Healing Modalities leading the students spontaneously into deep meditation at the end of the class. This is an ongoing class cycle of exploration & expansion of the Life Energy Flow through our 7 chakras. Students can drop in, join this ongoing class cycle at anytime or choose to come to one or both of the Mondays April 29th and May 6th two consecutive Root Chakra classes that start a new cycle. Yogic Sound Vibrations tools are utilized to empower our asana practice, to heal us from the inside out and to ease us into meditation. Back to top.

Naam Yoga

Naam Yoga classes are suitable and enjoyed by all ages and levels of experience. Naam means Word, and accordingly describes the key practice of chanting meditation in our classes.Through chanting and breathing exercises know as Pranayama, we learn to control the mind, and to develop the mental flexibility and resilience that embraces happiness. Exercises are selected to adapt to the natural cycles of the body described by ancient yogis. Chanting facilitates the more physical exercises of Yoga know as Asanas. In Naam Yoga, several asanas are used to stretch and tone the body. Open to all levels. Back to top.

Mysore Ashtanga

This system was passed down by Krishnamacharya to his student Sri K. Pattabhi Jois who taught with his family in Mysore India and around the world for over 70 years. It is a traditional system of Yoga based on 3 main sequences of yoga postures and is practiced by thousands of people around the world. Back to top.

Students practice at their own pace and can arrive and leave within the allotted time for the class. New students will be guided individually by Greg starting with a small amount of practice, and building up over time as the body becomes stronger and more flexible. Please note that Mysore classes are not included in Reflections class memberships and packages. $20 drop in. Contact gregtebb@gmail.com for more information. Back to top.
