YOGA
Intermediate Vinyasa Yoga with Angela
With a passion for alignment-based yoga, Angela is affectionately known as our “Queuing Queen” for refining our daily practice. By incorporating the Universal Principles of Alignment, along with the Energetic Loops & Spirals, she guides students through traditional Vinyasa postures that are more effective, while allowing advanced poses to be more obtainable. This non-heated class is designed to increase overall strength and flexibility, while leaving you feeling grounded, energized, and ready to take on anything life throws at you. All levels are welcome! With compassion and expertise, Angela offers modifications to poses when students need, while encouraging them to be open minded to challenges.
Restorative Yoga with Angela
Angela’s versatile style and commitment to the practice, on and off the mat, is evident in this meditative class. Primarily on the floor, using props such as blankets, bolsters, blocks, etc, all ages and levels are encouraged to embark in the art of surrender. Give yourself permission to do nothing, focus on the breath, enhance flexibility and mobility, while reducing stress and restoring your mind, body, and spirit.
Vinyasa Yoga with Erin
This dynamic Vinyasa flow led by Thrive owner, Erin Geraghty, is known to be a powerful practice with spiritual and yogic themes woven throughout, topped off with her signature chanting in Sanskrit during Savasana. Erin has created a welcoming, safe space in our community and her ability to break down barriers carries over into her classes. This class is non-heated, medium paced with one or two challenging pinnacle poses, and geared toward slightly seasoned yogis, but with compassion and expertise can gladly be modified for beginners.
Yoga Fit with Erin
Join Thrive owner, Erin Geraghty, E-RYT 500 and certified personal trainer for a fusion yoga class helping you integrate, challenge, and stretch your body. This low impact workout takes the best of yogic breathing, joint alignment and integration, while leaving the body feeling properly worked and open. The objective of this class is to help you build strength and muscle in targeted areas, without leaving you feeling restricted and stiff. Each class is different, incorporating some body weights, bands, and ropes, followed yoga poses to stretch the areas worked. Before Erin knew so much about yoga, she was a personal and athletic trainer for her roller derby team, Bradentucky Bombers. She also taught cycling, dance, Pilates, martial arts, and high intensity training. This class is a low impact way to get strong, and keep or improve flexibility!
Hot Vinyasa Flow with Nytza
Nytza’s lighthearted nature, energy, and ability to provide a great workout is the perfect combination! We turn up the heat to 90 degrees as she guides you through playful movement, incorporating advanced Asanas (poses) such as standing balances, arm balances, back bends, and inversions. This class is sure to leave you feeling joyful, strong, grounded, and empowered. While it’s geared toward seasoned yogis, it’s meant to be fun and she’s always happy to offer modifications for beginners looking for a challenge.
Yinergy Yoga with Alexis
Known as the studio “sweetheart”, Alexis’s welcoming personality and good nature is evident the moment you walk in! She leads a unique blend of movement and stillness, first warming the muscles with a playful Vinyasa flow before settling into Yin postures for 3-5 minutes each, promoting greater flexibility and getting deeper into connective tissue. During the Yin portion, blankets, bolsters, blocks, and other props are used, allowing students to completely surrender to the pose and quiet the mind. You will leave feeling a little lighter, peaceful, and grounded. This class is ideal for all levels, with modifications for beginners and progression opportunities for seasoned yogis.
Yin Yoga with Diana
Best known for “holding space”, Diana is committed to spiritual growth and providing a safe space for her students. Her powerful class has yogic themes woven throughout to help you find peace and allow what is. This meditative stretching of connective tissue around joints, with variations of seated and supine posses typically held for 3-5 minutes, is a passive practice, but not necessarily easy. Blankets, bolsters, blocks, and other props are used, allowing students to completely surrender to the pose and quiet the mind. All levels are welcome and encouraged to incorporate Yin into their regular practice.
Therapeutic Yoga & Body Rolling with Erin
Body Rolling, led by Thrive owner, Erin Geraghty, is known to be a transformative practice with spiritual and yogic themes woven throughout, topped off with her signature chanting in Sanskrit during Savasana. Erin has created a welcoming, safe space in our community and her ability to break down barriers carries over into her classes. This isn’t your “ordinary” yoga class. She uses various sized balls to guide students through rolling out different areas of the body, accessing deeper layers of facia and releasing tension patterns. The physical practice however isn’t what makes it so powerful, it’s snippets of life coaching, encouragement to listen to your body, and the uncanny ability to see her students’ souls. All levels are welcome and encouraged to incorporate Body Rolling into their regular practice.
