The Class Library houses over 120 Yoga Next Door classes!
Yoga Next Door classes are a balance of philosophy, movement, stretching and strengthening. Emphasis is put on the breath to soothe the nervous system in Jessica’s unique Vinyasa Yoga sequences. Most of the full length classes in the library begin with a reading from “Meditations from the Mat” by Rolf Gates & Katrina Kenison. Jessica completed her 300 hour Advanced Vinyasa Teacher Training with Rolf in 2020. Jessica’s classes will leave you feeling limber, refreshed and calm.
Class Descriptions
| Class Type | Description |
| Vinyasa Flow (31 – sixty minute classes) | Vinyasa yoga involves flowing through a series of postures. The pace of a Vinyasa class is faster and designed to build more “heat” in the body while maintaining the ability to synchronize breath with movement. These classes incorporate more transitions from the floor, or grounded positions, to standing positions; for example kicking into Warrior 1 from Downward Facing Dog. The Vinyasa classes also incorporate balance poses and more advanced postures. The Vinyasa classes are the most physically challenging in the library. |
| Gentle Flow (30- sixty minute classes) | The Gentle classes slow everything way down. Moving through yoga postures slowly allows students to turn inward and focus on breath work and concentration. Gentle Flow is great for beginners because the pace facilitates attention to alignment and learning the key poses. Each Gentle class provides a mix of supine, seated, hands and knees and standing postures with transitions that are accessible to most bodies regardless of age or flexibility level. The variety in these classes provide opportunities for stretching, strengthening and balance work with prop supports and modifications as needed. |
| Chair Yoga (17 – sixty minute classes) | Chair Vinyasa is a great way to continue to stretch, strengthen and work on alignment while being mindful and smart about our limitations. Chair Vinyasa classes include Cat, Cow, the motions of a Sun Salutation sitting in the chair or standing in front of it and using the chair for balance and support in standing postures. These classes incorporate some warm up and cool down stretches seated or supine on a yoga mat. These classes mostly avoid table top position poses (on the hands and knees) and making transitions on and off the floor. |
| Yoga Breaks (28 – thirty minutes or less classes) | Yoga Breaks are mini flows are for the days you want to get your yoga in but don’t have a full hour. The majority of the Yoga Breaks will include postures on your hands a knees and transitions from Down Dog to Three Legged Dog and kicking forward to a standing posture like High Lunge or a Warrior pose. These sequences will involve fewer Sun Salutations and Planks. |
| Yin Yoga (6 – sixty plus minute classes) | In Yin the poses are typically held for three to five minutes or longer on the floor to target the connective tissues (such as the fascia & ligaments). A Yin Yoga practice is designed to improve flexibility and joint mobility. Yin also helps reduce stress & anxiety and increase calm. |
| Restorative Yoga (2 - sixty plus minute classes) | Restorative Yoga is a gentle form of yoga that helps restore balance to the whole person. Restorative postures are fully supported by props to hold the body physically and promote relaxation. Restorative focuses on opening rather than stretching. Guided breathwork and relaxation cues are used to calm the nervous system and mind. Restorative classes are for the days you need a deep rest or to get quiet and focused for an extended period of time. |
| Meditation (6 – ten to twenty minute classes) | Meditation and breathwork are two fundamental parts of yoga. The inhale and exhale through the nose energize the body and calm the nervous system. Asana (the postures) and breathwork also prepare the mind and body to sit in meditation. The meditation videos are sessions for the days you need to be still, present and relax. These classes are inspired by the teachings of Rolf Gates and Bo Forbes. |
