Series and Specialty Classes
These are classes that are not part of our weekly offerings and have specific dates and times. See a listing of special series classes being offered in fitDEGREE. Below are examples of classes we offer as series from time to time.
Deep Rest – Yogic Sleep (all levels): Is your favorite part of a yoga-asana (posture) class the final resting pose? Then this practice of deep rest, also known as Yoga Nidra or Yogic Sleep is for YOU! Enjoy a de-stress and revitalization. The practice of Yoga Nidra offers a way of developing mental, physical, and emotional relaxation in order to create an environment within ourselves in which positive change may occur. This deeply meditative experience is guided while you are in a comfortable reclined position on the back. You leave feeling renewed, rejuvenated, and at peace…or practice from the comfort of your home online and go right to sleep.
Chair Yoga (beginner, low intensity):A more gentle form of yoga that is practiced sitting in a chair or standing using a chair for support. Slow and steady, yoga props support the body to lengthen the spine, open the hips, and customize the poses to suit individual needs. Wonderful for those new to yoga or looking for a less demanding class, have physical limitations, or are recovering from injury.
Prenatal Yoga (low-medium intensity/all levels): Pregnancy is a time for nurturing mom and dad as well as the unborn child. It’s also time for learning to meditate and find focus in breath. Prenatal Yoga classes provide safe exercises designed to strengthen and relax the rapidly changing pregnant body, preparing one for a conscious childbirth and the opportunity for mother, father and child to bond prior to birth. Join the community of other parents on a similar journey. All stages of pregnancy and yoga experience are welcome. Birthing partners are welcome to attend. Partner can be a spouse, relative or friend.
Baby and Me (beginner, low intensity/all levels; ages: 6 Weeks – 11 months or not yet walking): This class focuses on nurturing mom and dad or caregiver(s) while deepening the bond with their baby. While some of the postures are playful, others are practiced to rehabilitate and restore post-birth, offering caregivers the energy to nurture baby, while finding balance, strength and peace of mind. Sure to be an enriching experience for everyone. Feel free to bring a blanket and toy.
Young Yogis: This is an imaginative kids class with yoga postures that encourage balance, coordination, concentration and building self-esteem. Each class supports the development potential in each child through the practice and wisdom of yoga. Bring smiles and get ready to meow, purr, howl and stretch like cats and dogs.
Yoga for Tweens and Teens: The practice of energetic and creative postures to strengthen the body, focus the mind and increase energy. This class is a time to have fun, listen to music and learn new ways to improve your skills in all activities. Come ready to have fun and explore where yoga can take you.
