Aloha Hatha Ocean Flow
Megan Rose
All levels welcome.
[Alo] meaning ‘presence’ and [Hā] meaning ‘breath.’ Together the word aloha translates to ‘The presence of breath’ or ‘breath of life.’
Come practice a flow of postures, some long held with sound vibrations of drums or other instruments.
There are no words to describe the meaning of aloha as there is more to the spirit of the word. Legend says the spirit behind aloha was taught to the Hawaiian children long ago as a way of life embodied in the following acronym:
A: “Akahai,” meaning kindness, to be expressed with tenderness
L: “Lokahi,” meaning unity, to be expressed with harmony
O: “Oluolu,” meaning agreeable, to be expressed with pleasantness
H: “Haahaa,” meaning humility, to be expressed with modesty
A: “Ahonui,” meaning patience, to be expressed with perseverance
Through the years aloha became such a popular term due to its genuine nature and the word has been adopted by other languages and people around the world. This overwhelming popularity is what ultimately led Hawaii to be nicknamed the ‘Aloha State’ – as you’ll see on many Hawaii license plates when driving around the state.
The late Queen Lil’uokalani once said, “Aloha is to learn what is not said, to see what cannot be seen and to know the unknowable.”

Aloha Yinyasa Flow
Hannah Gross
This unique practice beautifully blends the restorative elements of Yin yoga with the dynamic flow of Vinyasa, creating a harmonious experience for both body and mind.
As you flow through a series of gentle, flowing sequences, you’ll cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner peace. Each movement is thoughtfully paired with the breath, inviting you to connect deeply with your body while allowing the natural beauty of the ocean to inspire your practice.
In the Yin portion of the class, we’ll slow down and surrender to longer-held postures, encouraging deep relaxation and the release of tension. This nurturing practice promotes mindfulness and introspection, providing a sanctuary for self-discovery.
This class is designed to leave you feeling rejuvenated and grounded.
Bring your mat or we have one for you, bring an open heart, and a desire to embrace the tranquility of the sea. Let the ocean breeze carry your worries away as you embark on this beautiful journey of movement and stillness.

Candlelight Yin
Victoria McDonald
in yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga that focuses on long-held, passive poses. It targets the deep connective tissues, such as the ligaments, fascia, and joints, rather than the muscles. Yin yoga poses are typically held for 3 to 5 minutes or longer, allowing for a deep stretch and release.
The practice of yin yoga is based on the principles of Chinese Taoist philosophy, specifically the concept of yin and yang. Yin represents the passive, cool, and receptive qualities, while yang represents the active, warm, and dynamic qualities. In yin yoga, the aim is to balance these opposing forces by cultivating stillness, surrender, and introspection.
Some key characteristics of yin yoga include:
1. Long holds: Yin yoga poses are held for an extended period of time, typically ranging from 3 to 5 minutes or longer. This allows for a deep stretch and encourages the release of tension in the connective tissues.
2. Gentle and passive poses: Yin yoga poses are often seated or reclined, and they are designed to be gentle and accessible for practitioners of all levels. Props, such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, may be used to support the body and enhance comfort.
3. Mindfulness and introspection: Yin yoga encourages practitioners to cultivate mindfulness and awareness of their physical sensations, thoughts, and emotions. It provides an opportunity for introspection and self-reflection.
4. Targeting the connective tissues: Unlike more dynamic styles of yoga that focus on the muscles, yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues, including the fascia, ligaments, and joints. This can help improve flexibility, joint mobility, and overall physical well-being.
Some potential benefits of yin yoga include:
- Increased flexibility and joint mobility
- Improved circulation and energy flow
- Stress reduction and relaxation
- Enhanced mindfulness and self-awareness
- Release of tension and tightness in the body
- Improved balance and stability
Yin yoga is suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels. However, it is important to listen to your body and modify or skip poses that may not be suitable for your specific needs or limitations. It is always recommended to practice under the guidance of a qualified yin yoga teacher to ensure proper alignment and safety.

Somatic Qigong
Perrin Preite
In this Somatic Qigong class, you’ll explore movement as a sacred path to self-healing, rooted in the understanding that we each hold the innate wisdom for our own transformation. Through slow, intentional movements, this practice encourages you to release stored tension and open channels of energy flow, aligning mind, body, and spirit.
This class is an invitation to cultivate mindful awareness and attune to your body’s unique rhythm, while learning the language of your body’s energy. With gentle, somatic techniques that foster nervous system regulation—like toning, self-massage, and mindful breathing—each movement encourages a state of loving presence and compassionate embodiment. You’ll explore how tuning into subtle shifts in awareness and sensation can unlock a greater sense of vitality, resilience, and deepen your connection to self.
Classes may include Somatic and Qigong meditations, toning the vagus nerve, self-massage, energy work, somatic breathwork, tracing meridians, and working with acupressure points. No prior experience is required. Bring your yoga mat.
