hatha yoga

Combinations of traditional postures at a moderate pace. Regenerate the spinal column and strengthen muscles. Decrease joint stiffness. Stretching, breathing exercises, mental concentration. Awaken all of your senses in a physical practice that respects your limits.

hatha flow

Halfway between classical Hatha and contemporary Vinyasa, a Hatha Flow class draws from the pool of traditional yoga postures and introduces fluid movement linked to the breath. Uniting care and intensity, Hatha Flow classes tend to have a longer warm-up. You will strengthen the body carefully and deeply, avoiding speed in order to go deeper into the heart of the movements.

vinyasa

Dynamic flow that links postures together at a sustained pace. Agility and even-handed development of the entire body. Flexbility of the spine, increased lung capacity. This class can get intense and is designed for people who are already active and used to working out, even as it will introduce students to a form of concentration in movement that calms the mind while the body moves.

gentle yoga

A slow and accessible practice with postures for everybody, including pregnant women and/or those suffering from arthritis or back pain. Gentle yoga encourages interiority, concentration on the breath and bodily sensations. Postures are approached more through the lens of release than through effort. Please speak with your teacher before the class if you have any special conditions or concerns.

yin yoga

The goal in Yin yoga is to slow down and take a meditative approach to postures. Contrary to most styles of yoga, there is no emphasis on muscular development. Students simply hold poses, often longer than in other classes, without seeking necessarily to improve the pose or the experience. For the mind, students learn to accept the various emotions and sensations that arise.

yin yoga + sound

An experience that combines yin yoga and a sound landscape. In a yin practice, postures are held for a longer time, usually on the ground with the help of supports. The practice will be enhanced with the sounds of Tibetan bowls and other musical instruments, along with chanting and readings.

chair yoga

A seated practice, accessible for all body types, which includes all the ingredients of a typical yoga class: posture work, breath work, and meditation, without having to get down on the ground. Flexibility, strength training and muscular release and relaxation.

meditation

A guided practice either seated or laying down. The use of props will help each person find the most comfortable position in which to explore the various techniques that could be proposed (concentration on the breath, concentration on sensation, use of mantra, visualization...). With regular practice, meditation is proven to help reduce stress and anxiety, improve sleep and deepen one's connection to oneself and to others.

meditative relaxation

Using techniques based in breath, sound and silence, this class will help you slip into a meditative state. Rest, clarity and mind-body harmony.

morning breathwork

An energizing pranayama sequence to start the day from your own home. Pamela Weber invites you into her morning practice. You can follow along live or sign up to receive the video to watch on demand during the week after each class. ONLINE.

history and philosophy

Dive into the rich array of ideas and historical moments that have shaped contemporary yoga practice. Taught by studio founder, former university professor and current researcher into the history and philosophy of yoga, Pamela Weber, each class will feature prepared lectures, discussion and a brief meditation. You can participate live or watch the video replay within one week of scheduled class. ONLINE.
