Class Descriptions*

HOT Flow - Lindsay's signature Hot Yoga class is a graceful flow of postures (vinyasa) that is driven by a strong connection to the breath. The room is heated to 85-95 degrees. The heated environment allows for a deeper release within the body, increased circulation and hydration to the joints and a refreshing glow that comes as a result of a good sweaty detox. When combined with Lindsay’s attention to alignment details and foundational core support, the heat can provide a safe place to unwind the body and heal past injuries. Suitable for many levels, this class provides students with a physical challenge appropriate for them. Modifications and hands-on assists are offered as a way to personalize the practice for each individual. Pranayama (yoga breathing techniques), creative visualizations and meditation are woven into the sequence making each class a potentially transformational experience. Lindsay’s intention with each Hot Yoga class is to guide people into their own bodies to unravel their personal truth so that they can live with passion and purpose.

HOT Core Flow - Core strength is essential for preventing injuries, promoting better digestion and creating stronger posture and balance. The heated room combined with an energizing flow yoga sequence creates the necessary heat in the body to allow for greater flexibility and movement of energy throughout the body. In this class you will learn how to utilize your core in most yoga poses and vinyasas as well as build strength, stamina and a healthy balance of flexibility. The room is heated to around 90-95 degrees. Bring a towel and be prepared to sweat!

Gentle Yoga - A slow, subtle practice designed to open your "stuck places" and melt away stress with gentle yoga poses and deep breath work. This class is great for beginners or those working with an injury or other physical limitations. It is also a great class for anyone looking for relief from stress, tension and anxiety. Not a hot class.

Back Care Yoga - Gentle stretching and strengthening with the spine in mind! Many can benefit from this class but it is especially helpful for people who have mild to moderate back pain, injuries, previous surgeries or other limitations. In addition to being therapeutic for our back, Back Care Yoga is also helpful for stress relief and overall well-being. What to expect: A slow-paced class, mostly on the floor. Props will be offered as a way to support each person in an individualized yoga pose. Some hands-on assists but mostly you will have ample time in each pose to relax and experience the pose on your own.

Yin Yoga and Meditation - A sweet 60 minute yoga practice broken into two parts. First, we will begin with a short Yin Yoga sequence. Yin style postures are deep stretches that are held in stillness for a longer duration (from 1-10 minutes each). A Yin Yoga practice is quiet and meditative in nature and the postures are designed to target the connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, fascia) of our bodies. In this class we will primarily focus on opening the hips and low back in preparation for the second part of class which is a 20 minute guided meditation.

*It is always a good idea to consult with your doctor before beginning a new yoga class.

What people are saying:

"Lindsay is an amazing yoga guide. Her style of teaching is a constant reminder to breathe into the poses, release judgment, and be present in the moment. I love the way I feel afterwards – not only do I feel like I've experienced a great workout that has stretched my boundaries and made me grow as a person, but through her I've also been reminded in a deep way to release my self judgments, to accept myself the way that I am, to constantly strive for more peace and love, and to be here and now, in every moment. She is a rare gem of a person and a very special teacher. I've shared her with many friends and they've all found her to be quite exceptional."

-Tena M. Asheville, NC

"Lindsay Fields creates an atmosphere of peace and protection as she guides her students through classic yoga postures. Her curiosity about yoga is bright. Her use of language is inspired and helpful. She is herself a sincere and pure-hearted yogi and her classes are imbued with that fragrance of personal wisdom and generous spirit. With great love and respect, Lindsay fosters a true love of yoga in her students. I try to never miss an opportunity to practice under her teaching – and I am a yoga teacher myself. I gather the beauty of Lindsay's teaching and share it in my own classes. It is love, love in the form of yoga. A new student said she would never have imagined only a month before how wonderful she could feel after studying with Lindsay."

-Barbara S. Weaverville, NC

"Lindsay is no usual Hot Yoga teacher. Lindsay has a sweetness and grace from her other practices that shines through. She has an appreciation for the broad path of yoga. This is good stuff."

-Cat M. Asheville, NC

"Lindsay's classes are filled with a unique energy as she offers genuine insight and wisdom in a very lighthearted, playful way. Her heart shines bright and you are immediately drawn in by her light the moment you step into one of her classes. As you leave her class you feel filled with peace and tranquility."
