The word hatha can be broken down to “ha” meaning “sun” and “tha” meaning “moon.” This union of oppositions in hatha points to the constant interplay of polarities we experience both on and off the mat. Hatha yoga is an invitation to participate in that dance between strength and softness, heating and cooling, effort and surrender, and in both doing and not-doing.
We can use the willful focus in maintaining postures and breath in Hatha Yoga to cultivate presence and a sense of balance within our minds and bodies.
Restorative yin aims to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote deep relaxation through slow paced, heavily supported, low-to-ground yoga poses.

The goal of restorative yin is to leave you feeling in-tune with your true self, at ease, and rejuvenated.

The Pursue Barre practice is foundational to our training philosophy. Barre targets every area of the body through challenging, high intensity, low-impact, exercises. Barre calls upon the body’s smaller, slow-twitch muscle fibers, through micro-movements and sustained holds, while incorporating props (such as hand weights, bands, playground balls, and straps) to intensify the resistance load and exercise variation. A traditional barre class begins with breath work to set the foundation of the practice, a warm-up, core strengthening to protect and stabilize the spine and pelvis, and exercises to condition the upper body, thighs, and glutes. All our barre classes finish with a substantial core strengthening series, followed by a nourishing stretch. The barre practice teaches spine elongation, as well as basic posture and alignment principles, which transfer across all other disciplines. Whether you are new to working out, or a seasoned practitioner, the barre practice is a great place to start, as well as to deepen your knowledge and understanding of functional training. Be prepared for an upbeat playlist, high energy instruction, and a vigorous workout – no matter your age, fitness level, or physical limitations. Pursue barre classes are 50 to 60 minutes in length. See schedule for options.

Each class begins with a dynamic breath-to-movement flow to build warmth in the body, followed by a slower, more traditional approach to poses; building steady depth to open the muscles of the body. Added warmth in the environment will increase the pliability of the muscles to safely allow exploration of both strength and length, while also improving circulation, flushing out toxins, stimulating metabolism, and aiding in pain relief from both minor injuries and chronic ailments. Classes and music are diverse and sequencing will vary with instructor philosophy.

There are five exercise zones based on the percentage ranges of maximum heart rate. In each zone, you will feel a different level of exertion and your body will be burning a different percentage of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Click here to read more about the benefits of training in various heart rate zones.
