One of the most unique qualities of the classes is the staff of highly trained instructors who create such an energetic environment in EVERY class that I have attended.

About

Yoga is an exercise system that focuses on the body's muscles, posture, breathing mechanisms, and consciousness in order to attain physical and mental well-being.

Yoga

During yoga classes students are led through a defined series of postures. The choice and sequence of the postures create a balanced center of beneficial emphasis that provides the student a full spectrum of health-giving exercise.

At Sunstone Yoga we offer 5 separate series classes, all of which are designed to reduce stress, increase strength, improve flexibility, and balance the weight of your body. Sunstone Yoga students are encouraged to combine our many offerings to achieve a harmonious physical and mental experience unique to their needs.

As a beginner, your first two classes should be the Intro Series A & B.

	Temperature: Varies with Class Type
	Duration: 30+ min in 30 min increments	Progressions are a succession of 30 minute versions of our Fire, Earth, Metal and Wood classes. There is a 5 minute break between each 30 minute class. You may attend as much of the Progression in 30 minute class blocks as you prefer. This enables you to build your practice, experience a larger variety of classes, and customize the length and mix of your experience. Progressions are a great way to try out a new series or re-engage your practice after an absence. Because there is a 5 minute break between each 30 minute class you may start at the beginning of a Progression or come in at the 5 minute break. This is great for customizing your experience or on that day you get caught in traffic and can't make the first 30 minutes.

	Duration:	The core class offering at Sunstone Yoga® is the Fire Series, the 90 minute class consists of 34 postures performed at a moderate pace in a carefully controlled environment. The Fire Series is accessible to students at any level and provides all students from beginners to advanced with an ever expanding set of challenges and rewards. Using a subset of postures from the 90 minute class the 60 and 30 minute versions offer their own challenges with variation in pace, hold times of postures, and repetition.

The 90 minute class closes with a 30 minute restorative Wood Series. Using a subset of the most challenging sequences from the 60 minute class the Metal 30 is great for stamina and strength but delivered in just 30 minutes. Look for Metal 30 classes in Progressions.
