JULIE

Gentle Fitness Hatha Yoga

Julie’s early Wednesday morning yoga class is a beginning Hatha yoga class. Most classes include some Pilates, along with restorative poses and a brief meditation. She uses humor and acceptance coupled with gentle expectations in working with varying ages and ability levels. Julie emphasizes personal strengths to guide students toward stillness, awareness and finding the strength within. 

KAREN

Prenatal Hatha Yoga

The Prenatal Hatha Yoga class is arranged on an individual basis. Please contact Karen at 314.822.9108 to register and schedule a class time.

MIMI

Yin-focused Hatha Yoga and Informal Meditation

In her Saturday morning class, Mimi teaches a gentle Hatha Yoga class with a focus on Yin Yoga. The poses are held for longer periods of time (3-5 minutes), and connective tissues – joint ligaments and tendons – relax and stretch. This slower pace of Yin complements the more active yoga practices taught at the Solar studio. An informal meditation practice immediately follows this class for those who wish to participate.

SUZANNE

YogAlign

a whole new yoga method based on keeping the spine in natural alignment by viewing the body globally instead of as separate parts. YogAlign utilizes self massage and special breathing exercises toning the core from the inside out, and there is no pain in the process. All YogAlign positions simulate how our body moves in real life functions. YogAlign aligns the body into natural effortless posture from the very first session and gives people the tools to correct and change poor posture and breathing habits that lead to chronic pain, illness, and premature aging.
Suzanne is a certified YogAlign teacher.

MONICA

Iyengar Hatha Yoga and Spanish Language Iyengar Hatha Yoga

Iyengar strongly influences Monica’s teaching style during her Sunday morning and Friday afternoon intermediate classes.  She focuses on breathing while holding asanas, and emphasizes toning and building strength in the muscles of the torso.
Monica is certified by Yoga Alliance. 

 Jerome

Yoga Traditions

Dr. Bauer leads a class on the similarities of all
yoga traditions, i.e. vegetarianism, meditation, etc.
Thursday evening, 5:30-7:00
