Crossroads Yoga Class Descriptions
“Chair” is yoga without having to lie down or kneel; you won’t need to get up from or down to the floor. It’s a combination of standing and sitting, but don’t be fooled: It’s a real yoga class with real benefits!
“Gentle” and “Weekend Wind Down” are mostly floor-based classes in which you will gently guide your body into different “stretchy” poses. The classes are relaxing but offer a great stretch as well.
“Restore” (also called “Restorative” by many) is a passive, meditative form of yoga that allows you to focus on your breath while releasing tension in your body. You’ll get comfy and use bolsters and blankets. It’s very relaxing…
“Sculpt” uses light weights, elastic bands, and/or exercise balls to build and define muscle. It’s more of a “workout.”
“Vinyasa” style yoga, also known as “Flow” yoga, involves moving from one pose to the next in a connected and continuous motion. It is among the most popular contemporary styles of yoga.
“Yin” is a slow-paced, meditative yoga practice that focuses on stretching and holding poses for extended periods. Yin yoga targets the body's deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, joints, bones, and fascia, to improve flexibility, range of motion, and circulation. It's also said to reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances, and improve emotional balance.
