CLASS DESCRIPTIONS:
Active Flow is Precision Flow Yoga, an active flow sequenced class with continuous attention to breath. This practice has roots in both the Astanga and Iyengar practices. Students will be prompted for accurate critical alignment techniques through verbal and hands on adjustments. Some prior yoga experience is recommended but not required.
The Beginning Series is designed for those new to yoga so emphasis is given to alignment and safety while allowing students to become acquainted with their own physical strengths and challenges. Offered in a series of six weekly classes as an introduction to other classes at Kona Yoga.
Gentle Stretch is an ideal class for those who have injuries, beginning yoga late in life, or looking for a class to ease back into an active practice.
All Levels is open to anyone who wishes to do yoga. Postures are offered with adjustments and props for the beginner and those recovering from injuries, or encouragement for the advanced practitioner. You go as far as your body is willing to allow you that day.
Prenatal Yoga is designed for the pregnant beginner or advanced yogini. While pregnant women are welcome in all classes at Kona Yoga, the Prenatal class emphasizes postures and breath work for the expecting student. Attendees enjoy being with others who share a common goal and experiences.
Yoga for Women was created from a desire to blend Traditional Chinese Medicine (Krista) and yoga and anatomy (Barbara) as it applied specifically to the female body. It has since evolved into a class that focuses on a weekly topic that is introduced at the beginning of class. After a light discussion period, the asanas are chosen to illustrate and/or elucidate the topic. All Levels of yoga experience are welcome.
Bounce Bebe is designed to effectively give you and your baby a fun and enjoyable workout. Bounce Bébé incorporates a fitness ball, to activate your core, and your baby, to add the weight challenge. These two aspects combine to achieve incredible results, while staying low-impact. By incorporating the baby, it allows you to actually take an exercise class and have a fun experience with your little one. Rebuild core muscles, tone your entire body, and lose that unwanted pregnancy weight: that is a Bounce Bébé workout.
The Mother Sequence was earlier referred to as The Basic Sequence by its creator, Jehangir Palkhivala of Mumbai, India. Basic, because it spawned six other sequences, each with their own unique effects. It became known as the Mother Sequence as Jehangir witnessed so many people being mothered back to health and harmony and as his appreciation and devotion to The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram blossomed. The sequence consists of sun salutes, the Five (Tibetan) Rites, two standing poses, three seated postures, four inversions and five finishing poses. It is an elegant personal practice that incorporates movement, breath and the emotions of joy and peace.
Cardio Pilates is a fun, fast paced, cardio class that takes many standard Pilates movements and brings them from the ground to standing. By doing these sequences in a standing position and incorporating movement, the student reaps the strengthening and toning benefits of a Pilates class while also getting a cardio work-out. The focus of this class is maintaining proper posture while incorporating fun movements to strengthen and tone. This is great for those looking for a different type of toning class, as well as a little cardio boost.
