The sequence of postures may be different from class to class, but always follow an intelligent progression that moves from basic to complex with modifications for all levels. This style of yoga builds heat, flexibility and strength, while maintaining focus on good alignment and sound structure. Postures may be held for longer periods of time, and will flow together to unite the body to the breath and mind. These poses will be paired with vinyasa sequences that are designed to move with the breath to build heat and cleanse the body. This class is appropriate for beginning and advanced practitioners. Yoga Level Two We move into a practice that further challenges our “edge” through asanas, meditation, and pranayama. Yoga asanas include progressive stages of backbends, inversions, and balances. We learn more refined breathwork and meditation techniques, as well as reflect on integrating the philosophy of yoga into our daily living. Our yoga practice is now beginning to move “off the mat” and into our lives, and we are curious to make those connections. This class will be an in person only class - more to come now that studio is open! Gentle Yoga This class is design for those who need a particularly gentle yoga practice. If you are recovering from an injury or illness, dealing with a chronic illness, or have some kind of compromise to your body, this class might be right for you. We use many “props” such as chairs, blankets, belts, etc. to work on strength and flexibility in a way that does not overtax the body. We also focus on concentration/meditation and breathing to help focus and calm the mind, as well as core strength. Yoga for Strength and Flexibility This is an all-levels class that is designed for men and women who never thought they would take a yoga class. The focus of this class is a sequence designed for men’s bodies, to assure a safe practice that maximizes creating flexibility and strength without overdoing it. Chairs are often used to stretch tight ham strings and backs in a gentle, focused way. Modifications are taught that are designed to safely stretch tight bodies while strengthening arms and core. Men and women from all ages and walks of life are welcome to this class! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6236283a98937631c783a6dc/92498cd4-9c68-4bdf-bd02-6da6406efc39/IMG_0420+%281%29.jpg Classes - Cardio-Dance classes We dance for all kinds of reasons, but why not dance to get in shape, experience joy, play, feel better. Kristine teaches cardio-dance to people of all ages and abilities. She combines elements of different styles of dance as well as using movements from yoga and internal martial arts. Our goal is to move our way, have a good time, practice alignment, strength, balance, challenge our brains a bit, use our imagination, and leave feeling a bit more balanced and whole. Every body is welcome! It’s time to let your inner child, dancer, artist, athlete, warrior, seeker, and guru come out to play! https://www.aloft-yoga.com/about daily 0.75 2025-09-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6236283a98937631c783a6dc/522fbe9a-70a2-4ae2-b84b-5020daef5f0b/File_000+%283%29.png About We are old, young, and in between, we love to dance, meditate, do yoga, and practice together. Some of us never thought of ourselves as "yoga or dancer types," others of us have more experience. We are able-bodied and we have our challenges. We value being a welcoming, inclusive community. We hope that you will join us! https://www.aloft-yoga.com/our-instructors daily 0.75 2022-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6236283a98937631c783a6dc/c671773f-6338-48e6-a9ff-f3b4c44c6a15/IMG_0275+%281%29.jpg Our Instructors - Kristine Zakarison Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
