Yoga at Studio Dove Heart
Unlock your potential. Awaken the light within.
Most of us come to yoga to feel better in our bodies. We want to release the tension our fast-paced lives fill us with. We want to get in shape, look good, and have more energy. Yoga delivers all of this beautifully. And then we touch something more…
Yoga was designed to be a spiritual practice. This means it gives us access to and awareness of our deepest power and connection—to our spirit, and its connection with the One Spirit that moves through all things, by whatever name we call it. The physical practice moves us into a state where we feel more open, aware, spacious and calm. As the clutter of the mind clears away, and the distraction of tension in the body eases, a new vista opens. Something deeper in us begins to emerge. Our life starts to become an offering of this emerging consciousness. Where will it take you? Be open to the journey…

Class Descriptions
Power Yoga: A vigorous flow class
The focus in power yoga is to work with strength and grace. Poses are linked with breath and movement to build up a sweat and get a great full body work-out. Suitable for students with good general fitness who want to work a little harder.
Hatha Yoga: An easygoing class
A moderate class. Class begins with breathing, centering, a few long held yin poses, and some warm-ups, progressing into a slow moving flow of standing poses followed by floor poses. Gentle strength work, and a complete stretch for the body. Suitable for all levels and those who need a moderate pace to accommodate injuries.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga focuses on stretching the deeper connective tissues in the body. To accomplish this, postures that are easily supported, are held for 1-5 minutes with muscles relaxed. This makes for a slow, calming, meditative practice. Also a great compliment to a stronger yoga practice, or athletic workouts, allowing the body to heal and re-balance, releasing deep restrictions.
