Vinyasa
At the heart of any yoga practice is vinyasa (movement with breath), each connected movement is synchronized with each breath. Over time the synchronized breath and movement takes the quality of a meditation in motion.
Seventh Street Yoga proudly introduces the following signature classes:
Vinyasa Flow
In this class, students flow from one posture to another, synchronizing breath and movement. Most classes are set to music. Exertion may range from mild to vigorous and emphasis may vary depending on each teacher. Generally, each class begins with sun salutations, standing poses, and balancing postures, then moves to seated forward-folds, twists, backbends and inversions. All levels welcome.
Power Hour Flow
60 minutes Vinyasa Flow class. All levels welcome.
Breath, Form & Meditation
This class approaches yoga through breath, focused contemplation and meditation. Perfect for just about anyone, especially absolute beginners to yoga. Learn the basic yoga postures and techniques that can be applied to an style of yoga, including fundamental breathing techniques, postural alignment and yoga philosophy. A typical class will feel like a flowing yoga practice of passive stretching postures designed to enhance flexibility in the connective tissues that form our joints. The intention is to stimulate circulation in less flexible areas such as the lower back, hips, shoulders and sacrum. This practice is appropriate for all ages, level of fitness and flexibility. Through a variety of postures, the power of meditation and breath work is experienced.

Whether you are brand new to yoga or you have a consistent practice, it will help you throughout your pregnancy both mentally, physically, and emotionally.
Increases overall strength, flexibility & well-being — You are not only stretch your muscles, you stretch the tissues that encases your muscles, stimulating your organ systems, promoting the circulation of blood and oxygen, breathing more intentionally, and focusing your attention inward through imagery and meditation. The combined effect is intended to be one that promotes a heightened state of physical and emotional well-being.
Reduces low back pain & sciatica — As you become acutely aware of proper body alignment, you can carry yourself and your belly in an integrated manner. This can help to reduce the degree of pelvic tilt associated with pregnancy and significantly reduce the lower back pain which it can cause. Additionally, there are specific yoga poses which stretch the muscles and tissues associated with the lower back, hips, and hamstrings.
Reduces aches & fatigue in the thoracic & cervical regions of the spine — During pregnancy, it can be difficult to find a space for yourself when trying to sleep. As a result, spinal alignment can become compromised. Certain yoga poses create more fluidity in the spine by stretching the Para-spinal muscles.
Reduces swelling & inflammation around your joints — A regular and consistent yoga asana practice improves and promotes the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout your body. This, in turn, can reduce swelling and inflammation around ankles and wrists.
Aids in digestion — As baby grows, your intestinal organs get pushed around, which may affect your regularity and cause indigestion. Safe and gentle rotations and forward folds can help to promote regularity and aid in overall digestive flow.
Helps prepare you physically for giving birth — A regular practice of squatting asana helps to tone muscles of your pelvic floor and helps you gain strength to remain comfortable in a squatting position. This is an integral part of any yoga program as it helps to familiarize you with these very useful muscles. Even if you choose not to squat during labor, you will want to be able to use these muscles efficiently and effectively when nature calls upon you to push your baby into the world.
Improves emotional well-being — Participating in a group prenatal class provides a community of support from new friends who understand what you are experiencing. Some programs may even include discussions about pregnancy-related topics such as doulas, nursing, and birth plans.
Helps during labor - Learning to focus the attention on your breath, brings you out of your head and into the moment.
