Yogi JoPo (John P.)
John is a certified yoga instructor, personal trainer, massage therapist, and Pilates instructor. His classes are the most athletic of the modalities at our studio, but all are accessible to beginners as well as advanced yogis. John excels at his presentation and concise cueing that makes his classes fun and easy to follow.
John is also available for personal training, private yoga/Pilates classes, massage therapy, and "Yogassage," a blend of yoga, assisted stretching, and myofascial release.
Yos Menendez
Yos is new to our practice but certainly not new to yoga and body work. Yos has a unique approach to blending yoga with social interaction.
Yin Fusion poses consist of seated or lying down stretches, we hold each pose for 2 min in order to increase mobility and flexibility by targeting the deepest tissues in our body; namely, the joints, ligaments, and layers of fascia that are embedded throughout. But we make it so that it's easy to enjoy we don't press on
Our Hatha fusion portion is a set system of postures linked together by breath, movement, and held poses.
Our Kundalini portion combines breathing exercises, yoga postures, repetitive movement, and other Hatha Yoga and Sikh techniques to awaken the body’s kundalini energy.
It’s also a pretty social class with plenty of quiet time.
