BEGINNER ASHTANGA
In our Beginner Ashtanga class you can expect the traditional primary series Ashtanga poses in the traditional order shortened to fit into a one hour class. This is a great class to gage progress as the poses are the same from week to week. For those new to Ashtanga, think of this like a Slow Flow class. We'll do sun salutations, holds, progressive poses and lot's of time for breath.
SLOW FLOW
Our Slow Flow class combines guided movement at a slow pace that allows you to explore poses in depth and deepen your practice. This class consists of sun salutations, standing poses, balancing poses, twists, folds and bends and always ends with a deep relaxing Savasana. This class is perfect for new as well as experienced students.

YIN
Our Yin class is a very slow paced class that focuses on long held postures (3-5 minutes) meant to help get past the superficial muscle tissue and encourage a deep release.

MYOFASCIAL RELEASE
Think of myofascial release as giving yourself a massage. With the use of special tools (balls, blocks etc..), we're able to target common tight areas of the body all by ourselves by applying therapeutic pressure to the muscles and fascia, all without having to visit and pay for costly massages.
This is a technique we teach in person at Explore to help with headaches, post workout fatigue, general muscle soreness and to help recover lost mobility among other things. We also offer instructional videos on your YouTube channel so you can practice this self care technique in the comfort of your own home.
VINYASA
Our Vinyasa class is a hot, moderately paced, vinyasa class that will leave you feeling challenged and awesome.
Approx. Temperature 85-90 Degrees
YINYANG
Our YinYaNG class is a fusion of our Vinyasa & Yin classes. You'll start out building some nice warm heat with movements including sun salutations & standing postures, and end the class with some deep relaxing yin style stretches.
BLEND
Our Blend class is a Blend of multiple class styles we currently offer at Explore. This class is meant to be physically challenging, yet accessible for everyone. At times the pace of this class will be similar to a Slow Flow and often also includes a portion where the pace is closer to a Vinyasa. You'll find some advanced poses woven in from time to time, always with modifications included for those who would like them.
