Specialty Classes

Taught by Heartsong staff and visiting guest teachers, we are proud to present these special classes to our community.

Some classes have a separate fee outside of the monthly membership or pre-paid class card.
Some classes are featured on the Daily Drop In class schedule, and regular rates apply.

Yin Yoga: every week

Hybrid Class on Sundays at 10:30 am, with Michele Scheuer (Gentle Yin)
Small In-Studio Classes and Live Stream to the Zoom platform at the same time.
Register with Punchpass, here.
Regular rates apply
If you are coming to In-Studio class, bring a bag with a blanket and a cushion, pillow, and any props you like to use. We cannot share props at this time.

Yin Yoga uses longer passively held postures to work the deep connective tissues of the body; the tendons, the ligaments and cartilage; areas that do not stretch like muscle; areas that are difficult to reach and open. These previously inaccessible areas are opened allowing prana or chi (life force) to flow freely resulting in a more supple and flexible body. Yin yoga encourages you to slow down, to pay attention and deepen the awareness between mind and body. It is truly a wonderful compliment all practices and styles of yoga, particularly the "yang" or more vigorous practices.

Floor postures are passively held for longer periods of time with a moderate level of sensation. Yin is a fantastic complement to more dynamic activities such as Ashtanga or other power/Vinyasa yoga practices, which generally target our muscles with dynamic movement. The stillness of Yin practice helps to balance our energy and can invite meditative reflection.

We call this class chill out, stretchy, yummy, happy, peaceful, light and bright. But to be honest, sometimes these longer holding can be very challenging, if not physically, then mentally as we learn to slow down!

Yoga Nidra: every week

Yoga Nidra, Zoom Heartsong Yoga at Home
Every Thursday night 7:00 pm., regular rates

As Aimee guides you through a practice of Yoga Nidra you will systematically be led towards complete mental, physical, and emotional relaxation. Through this process, the subtle energy channels are revitalized. Yoga Nidra is sometimes called Beyond the Dreams, Deep Deep Sleep, or The Ocean of Emptiness. It is helpful for stress reduction, insomnia, fatigue, depression, anxiety and general well-being. The practice can be done seated or lying down, and Aimee will lead you towards the "place" where there is only a deep abiding stillness that is rich with awareness, a space of inspiration, intuition, and compassionate loving kindness.

This class will be offered Zoom Live Stream ONLY so you can relax at home! Class will begin with some gentle soothing stretches and then you will move into your resting position, on your back or however you feel comfortable. Have a few blankets and pillows available to be super comfy.

You will receive a link to join this class on the zoom platform 15 min. before class.

Private Yoga Instruction

Private Yoga instruction offers individual attention from an experienced yoga instructor. While our group classes are a very effective way of learning and practicing yoga, there are times when you may consider beginning your practice in a private setting. Some reasons to consider private sessions:

You are brand new to yoga and want to ease into practice "one to one."
You are healing from an injury or have a physical limitation and want to learn how to "adapt" your practice at home or in class. (Examples include learing how to modify poses, and using chairs, straps and blocks for support.)
You are healing from an illness and want a restorative gentle practice.
You want to develop a personalized practice for home.
You want to refine structural alignment for your Kripalu or Ashtanga practice.
You want to learn the Ashtanga sequence.
You are pregnant (Yeah!) and want to know how to modify in group classes or get one-to-one TLC.
Your life is super busy and you cannot find the time to attend our group classes.
You want to bring your younger child to class but need to give them some practice first!

Individual or private group yoga instruction is available by appointment at Heartsong Yoga's studio or at your home or office.

At Heartsong: One-to-One Private: start at $75.00/hour for one or two.

We can host up to ten students in the Great Room, or Off site One-to-One or small group: Email for a quote, or for more information.
