Rest when you need to and avoid straining or pushing in the poses. The benefits of yoga come from gentle and consistent practice with awareness.   Class Cancellations - If LIvonia Schools are cancelled due to inclement weather, Livonia Yoga Center's classes will also be cancelled that same morning.  Class schedule is subject to change and classes are subject to substitution without notice.   Private Lessons are available by arrangement to anyone who may prefer to learn the basics before entering a group class or desires to deepen his or her practice.

Basic (Hatha) - Yoga asanas (postures) are practiced with an emphasis on proper alignment and strengthening the body. Poses build one upon the next in a sequence, gently stretching muscles and connective tissue throughout the body. Balance, breath work and relaxation are included in each session. When practiced consistently, Hatha yields a more supple body, looser joints, a sense of calmness and clarity and, ultimately, a more thoughtful life.    Gentle - A series of soft and nurturing poses allowing one the opportunity to surrender to the breath, and bring stillness to the mind. Rice bags are often used to provide pressure relief at strategic areas of the body.   Prenatal - A sequence of Hatha asanas appropriate for pregnant yoginis. Most all of the usual Hatha postures are included, with an emphasis on relaxation, breath work and gentle stretching and strengthening of the muscles supporting the growing fetus and prepares the mother's body for birth.   Vinyasa - Hatha asanas integrate with breath and movement. Between postures a series of movements are used as transitions. Vinyasa is sometimes described as Flow Yoga, suggesting the feeling of flowing from one position to the next. It is a more vigorous practice and leaves one feeling energized, relaxed and focused.   Healthy Backs - This practice is designed for those with healthy backs who wish to have them remain that way. Targeting the neck, shoulders, spine and hips, the practice works systematically to strengthen the musculature that supports us while increasing flexibility and maintaining a supple spine. A relaxing practice that invigorates the spine, releases tension and leaves you energized and relaxed.   Yin/Restorative - Beginning with a slight warm up, poses are sequenced as in a Hatha class, but are held for longer periods, emphasizing the hips, pelvis and lower spine. The focus of Yin Yoga is on the deep connective tissue that maintains the muscle and skeletal systems. Because the poses are longer, the practice yields a deeper release and relaxation. An ideal practice for the evening as it promotes deep relaxation. It can serve to rejuvenate the body and promote a sense of well-being.    Gentle/Basic - So, maybe, your body has been around the block once or twice, and your hips, back and knees aren't quite as "floor friendly" as you would like. Not to worry, our Gentle/Basic Yoga classes give you the opportunity to practice yoga while sitting on, leaning on or holding a chair. Receive the many benefits of yoga through the creative use of the chair!
