This class is designed using the ancient healing science of Ayurveda, one of the oldest, most complete medical models in the world.  Dosha is an imbalance in the constitution of each person.  On a daily basis, we can be thrown out of balance due to the situations of our environment and the cycles of nature.  Learn how to balance your body and your mind to promote more health and well-being in your life.  Ayurveda is a sister science to Yoga and is very important in the effect your practice has over you.

Vata: 
A class designed to build strength and stability and balance in the body, while calming the mind, releasing distractions.  Vata imbalance appears as a sense of feeling ungrounded, scattered, unfocused.  The poses will be held slightly longer to promote this feeling of stillness and stability.  Great class for those days when you are moving constantly and feel your energy being pulled in too many directions.  Focus: Standing poses, forward bends.

Pitta: 
This class helps to remove excess heat from the body.  When we get overheated, we feel irritated, angry and frustrated over every little thing. This is a great classs to balance the Pitta season, which runs through June, July and August.  Pitta is the fire of transformation, both in the body and in nature.  Redirect this inner fire so it has a positive effect helping you to stimulate your digestion of nutrients as well as goals and ideas in your life.  Focus: Twists, Forward bends, cooling breath.

Kapha:
This class helps to boost your energy levels.  If you are feeling sluggish, depressed and unmotivated, this is the class for you.  We build heat in this class, moving through a vigorous sun salutation series with continuous movement.  Poses are held a shorter length of time.  Focus: Backbends, vinyasa, heating breath.
