Class Descriptions

A mindful flow class that will change awareness and direction with each of the seasons, pitta, kapha, and vata. See descriptions below:

1. Vata

As we enter the Vata Season (beginning of fall to mid-winter), it's common for the body to become imbalanced due to the natural qualities of the season - cold, mobility, lightness, and expansiveness. If you have a Vata constitution, you may be feeling even more imbalanced during this time. But don't worry, this class is here to help!During this Vata-balancing class, we will focus on creating warmth, serenity, and nourishment in the body and mind. How will we do this? By incorporating gentle movements such as spinal and pelvic undulation, rotation in the joints, counter-poses, and flexion and extension into our flow. We'll also be practicing at a slow, smooth, and steady pace, while holding certain poses to add heat and stability to our practice. And don't worry about feeling rushed - we'll be repeating certain poses to allow the mind and body to sink deeper into the postures.

2. Kapha

As we enter the Kapha Season (mid-winter to the end of spring), it's common for the body to become imbalanced due to the natural qualities of the season - cold sluggishness, heaviness, and oiliness. If you have a Kapha constitution, you may be feeling even more imbalanced during this time. But don't worry, we're here to help!

During this class, we will focus on creating movement, lightness, and warmth in the body and mind. How will we do this? By incorporating dynamic flows and challenging poses into our practice. We'll also be focusing on increasing heat and building heat in the body through faster pacing and longer holds in certain poses.

3. Pitta

As we enter the Pitta Season (summer), it's common for the body to become imbalanced due to the natural qualities of the season - heat and humidity, quickness to anger, and feelings of impatience and frustration. If you have a Pitta constitution, you may be feeling even more imbalanced during this time. But don't worry, we're here to help!

During this class, we will focus on creating calm, coolness, and relaxation in the body and mind. How will we do this? By incorporating slower flows and cooling poses into our practice. We'll also be focusing on calming the mind through pranayama (breath work) and meditation.

By the end of each of these classes, leave feeling balanced and at ease. 

In a JPY Mindful Flow class, you will begin with poses to gently open the body, then move to slow flow to stretch and strengthen the body. Class may conclude with passive, restorative poses. Open to all levels but especially those new to yoga.

You can expect a great cardiovascular and strength building workout combined with breath work. Students will move quickly between poses and the poses often focus on building muscular strength and endurance. 

In an INFRARED heated room to 90 degrees.

Whether 60 or 75 minutes, same as a Pure Flow class but in an Infrared Heated room heated to 90 to 95 degrees.

Pranayama and meditation may also be included in the class. Suitable for those new to yoga as well as those who wish to deepen their practice.

Iyengar Basics/Level 1 is for the new Iyengar Yoga students as well as those who wish to bring a deeper understanding and integrity to their yoga practice.  Whether starting at the beginning or going back to the basics, you will gain a strong foundation of the fundamental actions and alignment of the poses.  Standing poses, seated poses, twists as well as some basic inversions will be taught. The rope wall may also be used.

In a JPY Iyengar class, following in the tradition of Sri BKS Iyengar, you will experience the following: an emphasis on alignment and organization within body, mind, and spirit, the use of multiple props to aid alignment and balance, a holding of poses, and ultimately achievement of "meditation in action."

"You are only as young as your spine is flexible." ~ Joseph Pilates

In a JPY Restorative class, you will experience the following: pranayama, supported poses that are held to induce physical and mental release and relaxation, and meditation. Supported poses involve the use of props: blocks, straps, bolsters, chairs, and weights. Suitable for all levels.

This class will have some gentle movement and breath work (pranayama) specifically designed to bring the body out of anxiety and into a state of relaxation. 

Yoga Nidra is a technique that allows us to deeply relax the physical body and calm the nervous system. Through a series of mental activities, we arrive in the hypnagogic state - the state between sleep and awake where our physical body is asleep and your mental state is alert. Here, we can reset mental patterns and clear energetic blockages. 

Due to this deep physical rest yet mental recharge, leave class feeling lighter, happier, and balanced. 

In a JPY Yin class, you will find a perfect compliment to your yang practice. Yin postures are done seated or laying on the floor. Poses are held 3 to 5 minutes each with all muscles relaxed and released. Yin practice benefits the physical body by freeing up the tight connective tissue capsules that form around the muscles and joints.  More importantly, the long holds in a single still Yin posture become a time of inner reflection, meditation, and peace.

Emerge from this practice feeling physically, emotionally, and spiritually renewed. Suitable for all levels.

In a JaiPure Virtual practice, enjoy the same benefits of a live class in the comfort of your own home.

In this 6-week Yoga & Mindfulness series, students will be guided on a new adventure each week.

About jumping: Rebounding is a type of aerobic exercise that is performed while jumping on a mini-trampoline. Jumps can be fast or slow, and can be mixed with rest or aerobic stepping. Rebounding can help work the muscles in the legs, increase your endurance, and strengthen your bones, among a number of other benefits. This type of exercise is gentle on the joints but allows you to work your cardiovascular system without taxing the body.

Why you should try rebounding: Rebounding is a low-impact cardiovascular exercise. It’s generally appropriate for people of all ages, from children to older adults.

• Following are some additional benefits of rebounding:
• Works the abdominal (core), leg, buttock, and deep back muscles.
• Improves endurance and stimulates the lymphatic system and helps your body flush out toxins, bacteria, dead cells, and other waste products.
• Helps improve balance, coordination, and overall motor skills.
• Supports bone density, bone strength, and bone formation, while decreasing bone resorption.
• Bouncing puts small amounts of pressure on the bones, which helps them grow stronger.
• Bouncing works the muscles of the deep core that help prevent urinary incontinence and stabilize hip joints.
• Plus, it’s fun!
