Zumba, Yoga and Dance at Lincoln Street

Zumba
Zumb® fuses hypnotic musical rhythms and tantalizing
moves to create a dynamic workout system designed
to be fun and easy to do. Our goal is simple: We want
people to work out, to love working out, and to get
hooked. By integrating Zumba® into everyday life
individuals may achieve long term benefits while
experiencing an absolute blast in one exhilarating
hour of caloric burning, heart racing, muscle pumping,
and body energizing movements meant to engage and
captivate for life. The routines feature interval training
sessions where fast and slow rhythms and resistance
training are combined to tone and sculpt your body
while burning fat. Add some Latin flavor and International
zest into the mix and you've got Zumba®!

SIMPLYOGA in Studio 22

ShivaShakti School of Yoga
    ShivaShakti Yoga is an integral approach to yoga,
cultivating harmony within the body, mind, and spirit.
Rather than being a style, ShivaShakti Yoga is a
methodology based on traditional teachings adapted
for today’s world. The name ShivaShakti represents the
balancing of masculine and feminine energies, principles
of hard and soft, and yin and yang. This concept of
unifying the energetic polarity within is the focus of
ShivaShakti Yoga.
    The physical yoga practice taught at the school is
derived from traditional asana styles. We teach a Vinyasa
form influenced by the sublime, meditative qualities of
Sivananda yoga and the purifying, strengthening, flow
sequences of Ashtanga. ShivaShakti classes reflect the
dynamic polarity of nature, varying from vigorous, flow
classes to more restorative, introspective routines.

Rates
1 Class $12, 8 Classes $80, 12 Classes $100
Private yoga instruction available.

Bodywork also available-
Therapeutic massage, Neuromuscular therapy, Shiatsu,
Thai yoga massage, Hot stone massage
and Ayurvedic Body Treatments.
