Know Your Classes:
The Therapeutic Family Tree
We are often asked about the different classes in the Therapeutic category at Liberty Yoga. All the therapeutic type classes are designed to promote healing but what's the difference between them?
The classes called Therapeutic (Th) include a variety of focuses, often tailored to those who come that day, with stretching, strengthening, laughing and stress relief. The main focus is posture and classes are relatively vigorous but do not require flexibility and modifications are easily made. Students should be able to get up and down off the floor.
Therapeutic Fundamentals (Th/Fun) is a chair yoga class that is less vigorous and that focuses on basic principles. It is appropriate for people who cannot do the regular therapeutic class. Some examples are: if you cannot get easily up and down from the floor, if you have a medical condition that limits your mobility or stamina, if your wrists or shoulders are injured or weak, or if you are brand new to yoga.
The Restorative (R) class is available to all levels from beginner to advanced. I don't recommend it for pregnant women or for people who cannot get up and down off the floor easily. It includes a warm up and yoga poses that activate the parasympathetic nervous system. These poses can sometimes be challenging but are often deeply relaxing and will promote healing. This is particularly good for people with chronic fatigue or lymes disease, who are working on a pranayama (breathing) and meditation practice, who are recovering from illness (ex: cancer, thyroid or adrenal issues), or who have a great deal of stress in their jobs or life.
The MELT class is new and will focus on pain relief through acupressure techniques that are quite simple and designed to open the channels of fluid flow in the tissue that connects your muscles to the skin. Even though is is simple and gentle, it can really help. It is not yoga.
Prenatal yoga (P). This class is appropriate for anyone who is pregnant. Pregnant yoginis may also come to other classes at Liberty Yoga. Therapeutic yoga can be a nice overlap and with a few modifications some pregnant yoginis can do vinyasa flow. No hot yoga, please. :)

The Vinyasa Flock!
Vinyasa is a flow class.The term vinyāsa may be broken down into its Sanskritic roots to decode its meaning. Nyasa denotes "to place" vi denotes "in a special way". It also means 1)the linking of body movement with breath; and 2) a specific sequence of breath-synchronized movements used to transition between postures.
Here are the different types of Vinyasa we offer at Liberty Yoga:
Vinyasa Fundamentals
is a flow class for all levels, especially beginners, designed to teach the basics of alignment, poses (asanas), names and yogic principles like breathing, mindfulness and body awareness.
Vinyasa Essentials is a flow class assisting students in proper breathing and alignment in the poses including sun salutations, standing postures, balance, seated postures and restorative poses at the end.
Fly Vinyasa is a vigorous flow class incorporating the anatomical principles of Core Strength Vinyasa to help students to work from their deep core line for a strong, powerful, effective and safe practice.
Rock Your Asana is a fun, playful and vigorous Fly Vinyasa class with Rockin' music, flow and adventure! Learn to fly with lift and power and intention with these fun moves incorporating strength and balance.
Hot Vinyasa
is a series of flow vinyasa moves executed in a hot room (90-100 degrees). This class is for all levels who enjoy yoga in a heated environment. A heated room warms the body so your muscles can be more flexible. It flushes impurities out of the body through the skin.
Be sure to hydrate before, during and after class and listen to your body.
