Yoga 101 for Everyone
Whether you are beginner or advanced, join Yoga 101 each week to practice classical hatha yoga routines and gain a deeper knowledge of your yoga practice.

In Hatha Yoga we utilize yogic breathing to relax, sun salutations to warm up, and a logical sequence of poses to build strength, balance and flexibility.

Optional homework will be given if you are on the path to becoming a Yoga Teacher through the Veda Lila School of Yoga or are already a Yoga Teacher and need continuing education credits through Yoga Alliance. Please contact Johanna for more information.

Traditional Hatha Yoga
A classical and wholistic approach to yoga that stretches and tones the whole body. Practice yogic breathing to relax, sun salutations to warm up, and a sequence of poses to build strength, balance and flexibility. Hatha Yoga gives the opportunity to work slowly and methodically over time to eventually explore the full expression of the yoga postures. This is an active and joyful class filled with happy yogis who are always welcoming.

Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a slow, soothing, and meditative style of yoga that targets the deep connective tissues, fascia, and ligaments in the body through passive stretching. Yin offers the chance to be still, be present, and relax within while you stretch holding supported poses from 2 to 5 minutes.
Johanna has multiple certifications in Yin Yoga. She was first certified by Laura Gushin, E-RYT-500 and Lyman Zobell , E-RYT-500. Johanna then went on to complete Bernie Clark’s 50HR Yoga Teacher Training in Yin Yoga.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative yoga helps heal the effects of chronic stress due to our fast paced and busy lives. In Restorative Yoga, the focus is not on stretching or strengthening but on releasing. We release tension in the muscles and gently stimulate the organs through long-held poses designed to support and comfort by using a variety of props such as blankets, blocks, bolsters, sandbags, and eye pillows. Restorative Yoga enhances our healing capacity through helping us regulate the stress response and re-balance the nervous system.

Yoga Nidra ~ Guided Relaxation
Yoga Nidra, known as yogic sleep, is a deep relaxation technique and a form of meditation. Supported in a comfortable resting position, we scan the body to consciously relax our physical form and turn the awareness inward by listening to guided imagery.

Sound Bath
An immersion into the beautiful sounds and vibrations of singing bowls that are healing for your body, mind and spirit.
