Yin yoga is a practice of long-held, deeply relaxing “stretching” poses that open and energize the “meridians,” or energy pathways of the body, restoring youthful joint mobility. Poses are held between two to ten minutes, to liberate the body’s chronic holding patterns and relieve pain, helping you to recapture some of the ease and freedom of movement you used to have as a child.

Over my 30+ years teaching and practicing yoga, I have found that many men secretly wish they had a yoga practice designed just for them. A class where leadership is celebrated, challenge is met with clear step by step instructions, and quiet strength is supported with understanding. This yoga class is designed for both the man who has been practicing yoga for many years, as well as the novice.

Chair yoga uses a chair to replace the traditional yoga mat. The support of the chair in seated and standing yoga movements safely allows the student to build strength and stamina while greatly improving flexibility and balance. Focusing on the breath and movement promotes increased concentration and relaxation. Suitable for all ages, fitness levels and physical conditions. 

Learn a continuous, meditative movement practice that combines elements of both qigong and tai chi styles. Half the class will be a warm up that combines gentle, powerful, fluid, dance-like movement; breath; and mindful awareness. Then we will learn the form — a continuous, fluid combination of qigong, tai chi, and meditative movement. This class opens and strengthens the body’s physical and energy systems; increases flexibility, integration, and focus; and promotes relaxation, ease of movement, and harmony in one’s life.

An energetic, fun vinyasa flow class designed to invigorate mind, body and spirit. This class is designed to improved strength, flexibility, balance, mental focus and vitality.

Class co-taught by Inner Dance’s Family Yoga instructor Jennifer Mesaros and djembe drum teacher and maker, Tom Kondas. Sing, stretch, instrument play with rhythm patterns, yoga and breath exercises with a live drumming rest period.  Introducing children to their natural sense of rhythm and timing, and showing them how easily this can be translated into playing an instrument. Through both sound and body movement, simple poly-rhythmic patterns of West African drumming are utilized to teach kids to make music together, and to teach concepts that are helpful in developing an ear for music and ability to make music.  The yoga portion will include child friendly poses as well as a simple introduction to breathing techniques with age appropriate movement and meditation.  Brain stimulating and body awareness fun for children and grownups alike.
