Sivananda Sunday Series with Nickole Every Sunday in June, 5-6:30pm
Join Nickole Thornton Gonzales each Sunday in June, from 5-6:30PM for a Sivananda Yoga Sequence in The Loft (unheated).
A Sivananada yoga sequence is a classical and holistic approach to Hatha Yoga. This 90-minute session consists of a comprehensive series of pranayama and asanas that are performed in a specific sequence. There is an open and closing chant that you can participate in or just let the sounds in the room transcend through you. The poses themselves are designed to bend and rotate the spine, lubricate the joints and lengthen the muscles. The progression of these poses leaves the entire body toned, balanced, supple and properly aligned.
This is an all-levels class; each asana has simplified, intermediate, and advanced variations. When you sign up for the full series you’ll leave being able to incorporate headstand, full wheel, shoulder stand, and crow. If these asanas are in your practice, then Nickole can guide you through the steps for scorpion, variations of wheel, lotus shoulder stand, side crow, crane, mermaid, and many more advanced asanas.

Deep Dive into Vinyasa Flow: Foundations to Flight with Ashley Sunday, June 14, 1-2:30pm
This posture clinic begins with focused core activation to cultivate stability, awareness, and inner strength before building into an energetic, breath-led flow. Along with way, we will review the foundational building blocks of vinyasa - including alignment, core engagement and weight distribution - that helps arm balances and expansive heart-opening postures feel more accessible, supported, and sustainable within your practice.
This class is for the beginner to intermediate practicioner who wants to hone in to reaching the next level of their practice. We will build skills that provide a pathway to more intermidiate arm balances and back bends.
Ashley has been teaching creative flows since 2018 and teaches the Friday 5:30 Vinyasa in the Loft.
