Class Descriptions
WildCore™ Movement & other classes with Creator Brietta Leader
WildCore is a dance based practice that leads the dancer on a path of untamed self-discovery, healing & expression. WildCore blends choreography, conscious dance, breath-work and belonging and is designed for all levels.
Soulful Stretch and Strength is a class designed for those that struggle with yoga and still want to move their body mindfully. This class will begin and end on the floor and move through postures that stretch, strengthen and tone the body, while increasing body awareness. We will work with one breath, one movement cycles that support ease of movement and inner balance.
Prana Flow Vinyasa is a style of yoga that supports you in connecting to your inner rhythms. Each of the namaskars are performed within the breathwave cycle and provide both lunar and solar options, depending on your energy level. The practice is guided with invitations to listen to your body as you move through the 3 part wave sequence. The first, Initiation Wave, sets the tone and warms the core. The second, Essential Wave, is the main body of the practice and the third, closing wave leads us through backbends, counterposes and regenerative inner arts. Every Prana Vinyasa class will synchronize with the subtleties of the moon cycles, the seasonal shifts and the global awareness of how the macrocosm moves to the microcosm and the micro to the macro. Certified with a 300 hour program from Shiva Rea
