CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Classes are held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Rappahannock in White Stone (UUFR) unless otherwise specified.

FUNCTIONAL YOGA (FORMERLY SLOW FLOW) (Level 1/2)
Mondays 11:00-12:00 and Wednesdays 9:30-10:30 am (UUFR)

Mondays 4:30-5:30 pm (BUMC in Reedville)

This challenging yet accessible class integrates stability, mobility and flexibility to support the physical demands of daily life. You’ll practice core and balance work, sun salutations, and basic standing, seated and supine postures, all of which emphasize controlled actions that enhance joint health and functional movement. An excellent class for beginning through experienced students.

VINYASA FLOW (Level 2/3)
Tuesdays and Thursdays 9:30-10:30 am

This strong athletic practice links breath and movement while building strength, flexibility, balance and mental focus. Sun salutations and creative flow sequences are emphasized, along with more challenging options for intermediate-level poses, including arm balances. Each month has a theme such as Core, Back Extensions, Nonjudgment, Gratitude, etc to help you focus and move forward in your practice.

6-WEEK FOCUS ON FORM SERIES (All)
Fridays, March 6-April 10, 9:30-10:30 am

Optimize your alignment in this 6-week series designed for all levels! Each week will focus on a different pose family to help you move forward in your practice safely and more skillfully:

• Week 1: Neutral Spine Poses

• Week 2: Warrior 2 Family

• Week 3: Warrior 1 Family

• Week 4: Twists

• Week 5: Forward Bends

• Week 6: Backbends

We’ll start with warm-ups specifically designed to prepare you for the poses to come and end with accesible yoga stretches and Savasana. There will be some overlap from week to week (e.g., some forward bends are neutral spine poses), which will make your learning that much more efficient and effective.

Cost is $100 for the 6 weeks, advance registration is required and space is limited. Sorry, but class passes may not be used, and no refunds will be given for unattended classes. That said, life happens, so if you need to miss a class or two, you can come to any other class during the six weeks as a makeup.

BREATHE & STRETCH (Level 1/All)
Mondays 1:00-2:00 pm (Northern Neck Family YMCA in Kilmarnock)

Ease into postures that will stretch your body and calm your mind. Whether you're brand new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this class will increase your range of motion, help you de-stress and is the perfect supplement to a more vigorous yoga practice or other workout. Modifications and enhancements are offered to help you find a deep stretch appropriate for your level of flexibility.
