Budokon® Yoga
The Budokon® Yoga curriculum is a combination of intelligent alignment principles with the freedom of creative sequencing and the circular nature of Martial Arts.
Heavily influenced by Iyengar and Ashtanga yogic techniques, Budokon Yoga focuses on control, power and precision. These techniques are uniquely different from traditional Hatha Yoga in the sense that they not only work to improve range of motion and strength, but they also explore the body’s ability to sustain another person’s body weight.
The movement is slow and controlled, and the techniques are learned through repetition. Very much like a Vinyasa or Power Yoga class, the sequence is energetic and strong. However, the emphasis is in the moments of transition, not in holding poses.
In the sequence you will find stretching, strengthening and balancing poses (including handstands and inversions), which will challenge the practitioner to face fears and other limiting emotions in a safe way. The movement sequences usually end in Savasana, where students get to relax the body and allow the benefits of the movement practice to seep in.

Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga helps us to cultivate the relaxation response in both mind & body.
In this practice we hold poses for long periods of time, fully supported by props to help us deepen into a peaceful and relaxed state of being.
This slow paced class is an incredible way of helping to heal the whole body and mind. We activate the para-sympathetic, or relaxation response, helping to balance the entire nervous system, setting up the whole body for deep healing, growth, and repair.
As you are being nourished in the restorative poses Colleen will be bathing you in Holy Fire Reiki and other higher consciousness energies.
Props including blankets, bolsters, and blocks will be provided.

Vinyasa Flow
Rejuvenate your natural rhythm & harmony, improve strength & flexibility, dissolve tension and experience a deep sense of well-being that will support you well after the session is over. Guided by the breath and our own powerful intention, we unite mind, body & spirit, and infuse our whole being with life-giving energy.
This will be similar to a traditional Vinyasa classes, but we will move a little slower and hold some poses for a bit longer than usually. This introspective practice strikes a balance between movement & stillness, strength & surrender, leaving you open, refreshed and at peace.
