YOGA

Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa means “movement linked with breath.” Postures are strung together in a short or longer flow.
This style of yoga is often quite dynamic, which requires the mind to stay focused in the present to be able to keep up. Focusing keeps you from drifting off and helps you to be present in your body rather than stuck in your head. All levels welcome.

Candlelight Yin / Deep Stretch
While Yang is related to heat and movement, Yin is the challenge of finding stillness and release. A quiet and meditative class of mostly seated or reclined long stretches each held for 3-5 minutes or more. Going even deeper than muscles to gently target the connective tissues such as joints, tendons, ligaments and fascia mostly in the lower portion of the body such as hips, glutes, hamstrings, and lower back. Guided meditation accompanies this practice for focus and calming of the mind. A beautiful compliment to active lifestyles and yoga practices.

Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that focuses on mobility, stability, strength and alignment. The use of props allows students of all ages and abilities to practice with a deepening awareness that penetrates the layers of their being and leads to meditation in action.

This class introduces the principles of yoga and the Iyengar system, teaching the fundamentals of body alignment to prevent injury through yoga postures. Students with limitations or previous injuries will be supported to develop a safe, strong and steady practice, understanding its beneficial effects. The course will focus on classical standing poses, seated poses and relaxation poses, bringing the student safely towards back bends and inversions. It is the perfect choice for new students, students looking to build a stronger foundation to their practice or the ones looking to challenge their body and mind.

Hot Sculpt
This dynamic class combines the intensity of hot yoga with strength-building sculpt & Pilates exercises. Expect to flow through energizing poses, engage your muscles with light weights, and sweat it out in a heated room, leaving you feeling empowered and balanced. Perfect for all levels!

Gentle Flow / Beginners
A gentle and mindful practice with a focus on strengthening and stretching that promotes flexibility and relaxation. Beginners are welcome.

Slow Flow
This class is specifically designed for you to slow down, breathe deeply and move mindfully. We will focus on deepening and lengthening the breath and slowly moving from one pose to another. This will help you release stress, calm your mind, slow down your heartrate and getting more in tune with yourself and your body. This class is perfect for beginners to experience slow and mindful movement, and for more experienced yogi’s that want to add more depth and awareness into their practice.

Sunday Flow
Sleep in on your Sunday morning and join us for a mid morning class. Smooth movement to wake up your body. Leave feeling revitalized and blissed out.

PILATES

Pilates Reformer
A small intimate class on the Pilates reformer machine (max. 4ppl). This full body workout is done in a safe and low impact format with the assistance and resistance of weighted springs, maintaining constant engagement of the core. You will be sure to tone, strengthen and stretch!

Pilates Blast (Reformer)
A high intensity class that will integrate the Reformer, weights, balls, bands, and kettlebells! Incorporating both cardio and resistance training, this high energy class will make you sweat, while toning and sculpting your muscles. Beast mode ON.

Redemption Pilates Mat
Redemption Pilates is a contemporary style of this classic form of body sculpting exercises. It combines strength-building and core work, and uses the breath to facilitate a mind-body connection. Known for creating long, lean, and strong muscles, this class will make you sweat, tone, feel refreshed and have fun! After all, this is Sint Maarten... we can all use a little Redemption!

ADULT DANCE CLASSES

Adult Ballet (Intermediate)
This class will focus on ballet technique, posture, alignment and artistic expression. Following a classical ballet class structure, we will begin with barre exercises and transition to the centre to work on connecting steps, adagio, jumps and turns to find the artist within. Previous experience recommended.
