Plus Size Yoga
Classes are designed especially for bigger women and men who want to begin yoga but want to do it in a setting where everyone is similar in size and shape. Plus Size Yoga Program incorporates gentle movements, breathing techniques, and relaxation to work on every plane of our being: physical, energetic, and emotional.

Each class consists of 5-7 min meditation, asana (posture) and breathing exercises, 10-15 min of relaxation/meditation.

Plus Size Hatha Yoga
Hatha yoga develops your muscle strength and flexibility. Asanas (standing and sitting postures) burn calories, normalize hormonal balance, and improve functioning of digestive system. Deep breathing provides more oxygen to our body and increases energy level.

Plus Size Yin Yoga
Yin targets connective tissues (fascia that wraps our muscles, bones, joints, ligaments and tendons) that are not normally exercised in other yoga classes. It is done on the floor, we hold postures for 3-5 min relaxing muscles of the entire body completely. For Plus Size yoga it is done with plenty of bolsters, cushions, blankets, blocks to support the body. It releases soreness in our body and improves joint health. When we relax our body, our mind relaxes as well, so that, the whole class is practiced in a meditative state of mind. Relaxation lowers level of cortisol and other stress hormones that cause us to gain weight.

This class is also a good way to practice yoga for people with limited mobility due to injuries or health issues, and Seniors.
