YOGA + PILATES CLASSES

CHAIR YOGA

Chair Yoga ClassChair yoga is our premier class and is by far the most popular class with our students. Why? This class will adapt a wide-range of traditional mat-based poses to the chair, giving you a variety of options on how to move the arms, torso and lower body. No matter what physical ability you enter class with, there will ALWAYS be a modification that’s perfect for you, today, in your body. You will learn how to listen to your body and honor where you are, today. You will also learn how to explore the breath and how it affects the way you move. Meditation and pranayama (breathing practices) may also be explored. What are you waiting for?

Sitting around only makes you stiffer – so come on over to chair yoga and get that body moving!

EASY YOGA

Easy Yoga ClassEasy Yoga is mat-based class that is a bit easier than a traditional mat-based class in that we use a variety of props in order for you to feel the full effects of the practice. One thing we understand at Bella Buddha is that there are as many abilities and body types as there are hairs on your head, and a one-size-fits all model is not where it’s at. You will be given the tools and instruction to move through your practice in a safe and fun way. Our students say that Easy Yoga “ain’t so easy!” You will be invited to challenge yourself, but learn to always honor your body. A strong emphasis on balance and core strength is incorporated. And yes, as always, the chair is a wonderful prop in this class.

CORE YOGA

Yoga Pilates ClassThis mat-based class incorporates Pilates core-strengthening moves within an easy yoga flow. A significant amount of core-strengthening work will be done, along with moves to strengthen the posterior-chain (the back, glutes, hamstrings). Balance and flexibility are also explored on a more challenging level. The use of props and…you guessed it – the chair – are also used from time to time.

STRENGTH CLASSES

STRONG YOGA

Strength + Stretch ClassThis senior-friendly strength-training class uses stability balls, chairs, and resistance bands.

Why strength-training for seniors? Research shows that resistance training can help older people in daily activities, such as climbing stairs, getting in and out of a car, and fixing dinner. Strength-training is particularly useful for seniors because people generally lose muscle strength as they age. Resistance bands offer more variety because you can create resistance in all directions. Also, since there are different tension levels based on the color band you use, you can easily alter the difficulty level. Use a higher tension band for an easier exercise like bicep curls, or a lower tension band for more difficult exercises like overhead shoulder press. Incorporating the use of the stability ball adds yet another challenge to our core strength which is fundamental to good health and well-being.

SEMI-PRIVATE CLASSES

**NEW** POD YOGA

How nice would it be to take a yoga class with your friends – just your friends – on a day and time that works for you?  With Pod Yoga, you can do that!  Semi-private classes are now being offered at Bella Buddha.  You pick the time, the style (Chair, Vinyasa, Easy, Restorative), and we’ll take care of the rest.  Our space is set up to keep everyone socially distanced (6 feet apart between mats) and features a Hepa Air Purifier to keep the air you breathe safe and clean.  You can breathe as deeply as your practice allows and know the air you breathe is pure.  Wear something comfy, bring your own mat and any head-trips that may be harassing you that day, and we’ll get things started.

Classes are a flat $80 per week (split the cost with your pals) with a 6-week commitment (We know things come up; it’s ok to reschedule or skip a week, so don’t worry about that long-weekend getaway.)  Class is 75-minutes.  A list of suggested props and accessories will be emailed to you (totally optional but include things like eye pillows and essential oils . . . mmmmm  =)
