Easy Yoga
These beginner-friendly practices are a great way to start exploring GCY’s Yoga library and evoke your curiosity about this rich practice. A variety of fluid movement sequences and postures to help increase circulation and mobility combined with easy stretching postures will let your body and soul say…thank you!
Beyond the Basics
While still an approachable class we explore a little more depth with active movements and strength enhancing postures. The combination of traditional Yoga poses and Ellen’s unique movement creations will help you build resilience and deepen your relationship with your body and yourself.
A Stronger Challenge
Up for a challenge? Let’s dive deeper with GCY’s Yang Yoga practices! After an active warm up fluidly linking one pose with the next we’ll explore longer-held postures to help increase strength & stability. There really is no limit to the uniqueness of movements and postures in this class. Be ready for surprises!
Seated Practices
Everyone can do Yoga at any stage of life. If a mat-based Yoga practice is not right for you try one of our Chair Classes. We start seated with easy movements focused on wrists, spine and shoulders followed by a few standing postures for balance. Class finishes with a short relaxation that can be done on the floor or couch.
Meditation, Breathwork & Relaxation
The title of this category speaks for itself: practices focusing on mindfulness, inward attention, breathwork and exploring the quieter mysteries found within.
Yin & Restorative Yoga
With all the active classes offered make sure to treat yourself from time to time with one of these quieter practices. Restorative Yoga invites you to take some time to disconnect from all the changes and challenges in life to relax, nurture and renew. Yin Yoga practices focus on long-held stretching poses to release tension in the connective tissue of the body while inviting a deep inward focus, reflection and surrender.
Series: Yoga à la Carte
Want to get creative? This wide range of shorter practices invites you to put together your own sequences. Perhaps start out with a foot massage, followed by an active class like ‘Gently Energize’ and finish with a Guided Relaxation or Restorative Yoga…also keep these shorter options in mind for a busy day when there simply isn't enough time for a full class!
Series: Office Breaks
Not exclusively for office workers, these 5 - 10min mini sessions are meant to help our bodies during long hours at work to avoid the impact of repetitive stress. A few minutes of movement or some simple stretches can come a long way in addressing a tight back, sore wrists and tired legs.
Specialty Workshops
These 90-min practices on various topics are another great way to dive deeper into your understanding and exploration of Yoga. Each practice starts with a short lecture relevant to the specific theme. Please note that intensity level varies with Back Care Yoga being very accessible, Spring Detox & Core Connection offering a bit more of a challenge.
Yoga Details & Instruction
Therapy Balls & Self-Massage
The stretching element in Yoga is so valuable but sometimes an additional tool is needed to get those stubborn knots in our muscles to let go. The use of therapy balls is a fun and creative way to address discomfort in specific areas while learning more about the architecture and anatomy of your own body.
