MEL-O-YOGA Class Descriptions

Strengthen & Lengthen classes are appropriate for participants of varying yoga experience (from beginners to well seasoned) as long as there are no acute injuries.

Warm Power Flow classes are heated to ~80 degrees & tend to move at a quicker pace and incorporate more movement than Strengthen & Lengthen classes.

Gentle/Beginner classes are a great place to start if you are new to yoga or are looking for a slower paced, more meditative focused class.

Beginner Alignment classes may appeal to beginners as well as anyone who wants to practice slowly and methodically with attention to the details of the poses.

This flow-inspired class combines gentle yoga poses, deep breathing exercises, and meditation techniques, while incorporating lessons about human anatomy and physiology as they relate to the practice of yoga. Students will be treated to a relaxing, end of the week class while receiving sound education regarding the human body's structures and functions. All levels of practice are welcome to attend.

Beginner Flow classes teach the basics of Vinyasa Flow. You'll learn the poses & the sequences of Sun Salutations as well practicing them with a slow flow. 

Yoga practitioners of all levels – including absolute beginners - are welcome to this class specifically to care for your back, neck & shoulders. You will learn how to appropriately stretch and strengthen these areas as well as how to strengthen and stabilize your core and improve your postural alignment.
