Yoga Flow & Research
What you need:
Mat or soft-ish surface
Chair (optional)
Blocks (optional)
Strap (optional)
You don’t have to be a yogi to practice yoga! Remember that it’s always a practice :) Yoga has a vast and heterogeneous history; these classes are very much in the western-postural-yoga genus of movement that has only arisen within the last 150 years (depending on what sources you pull from), but the mind is never fully divorced from the body!
If you’ve done yoga before, expect familiar vocabulary, such as cow, cat, down dog, warriors, etc. along with an emphasis on the exploration of our own anatomy.
No yoga experience? No worries! There’s no need to fret over names or technique; Alexandra will walk you through a practice that will leave you feeling warm and connected to yourself.
Power & pulse
Not all classes utilize all equipment; check class descriptions.
Mat
Barre/Counter/Chair/etc.
Small weights (2-3 lbs)
Medium weights (8-10lbs)
Bender Ball (or rolled up blanket/towel)
Yoga Blocks
Stretchy bands of varying intensity
Booty bands of varying intensity (can get away with using regular stretchy bands if your leggings aren’t too slick)
This take on Barre utilizes both the small, micromovements that make barre so delicious along with a variety of mid and end range movements to keep you strong in all directions!Weights, bands, balls, and blocks are all used to test us before we settle into our final rest.
Like more traditional barre, Power & Pulse is a low-impact workout that often utilizes a barre (or chair, counter, or well-behaved fence) to hold onto for support while the lower body works.
Expect some input from dance; actual ballet technique is not unheard of in a Power & Pulse class…
Morbid movement
Mat
Knee pads (optional, but gives you freedom if you move off of your mat)
This class was built during the Covid-19 lockdowns as a way to move in a meditative way, to explore the less aesthetic range of motion, to play with broader concepts of both dance and movement in a container that isn’t too abstract. Expect a similar experience to a yoga class but with a more dance-centric vocabulary and a different mental focus.
Just give it a try. You can turn it off if it turns you off ;)
