Samayama Yoga
City Fitness’ unique style of yoga. “Sama” means equal or evenly distributed, “yama” means self-disipline. Our approach intergrates conscious breath, flow of movement, alignment, visulization and relaxation with their application in yoga asana. Our teachers are influenced by the methods of Ashtanga, Anusara, Iyengar and Kripalu, and therefore bring their own unique experience to each class. Advanced classes are for seasoned practitioners.

Specialty Classes

The following classes are offered periodically. Pre-registration is required. Some classes involve a registration fee.

AFRI-CArdio
A fusion of aerobics and West African interpretive dance. Live drumming and uplifting recorded music will inspire you to “get down” to earth and sweat. No dance experience required. Held on one Saturday per month.

Ashtanga Yoga
Based on the Ashtanga Primary Series with creative variations, participants will flow through Sun Salutations, standing and seated postures to build strength, endurance and flexibilty. Advanced classes are for seasoned practitioners. Ashtanga Yoga may not be appropriate for students with some orthopedic problems or those new to exercise.

Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
BJJ is a martial art and combat sport that focuses on grappling, specifically joint locks and choke holds, and promotes the principle that a smaller, weaker person can use leverage and proper technique to successfully defend themselves against a bigger, stronger assailant. At the same time, the art has many physical benefits, building coordination, flexibility, endurance and strength. Learning BJJ does not require athleticism; it builds confidence, agility and body awareness.

Jiu-Jitsu schedule: Tuesdays, 4 & 8:30 pm; Thursdays, 4 & 8:30 pm; Fridays & Saturdays, 5 pm.

Belly Dance Aerobics
A dynamic class progressing from range of motion work, to isolations into low-impact aerobic belly dance movements. Lose yourself in the enjoyment of dance while burning calories! Please wear a fringed hip scarf. View the Belly Dancing movie »

Students will be oriented to meaning and practices of hatha yoga through short readings/explanations and yoga poses. Surrounded by a supportive environment focused on fitness, teen girls will be able to relax, have fun, be physically active and make new friends. Students do not need prior experience in yoga.

2. Some classes require advanced registration as indicated on the schedule (R). For those classes you must call between 8:00 am - 1:00 pm to choose your spot. Please reserve for weekend classes on Friday morning between 8:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. If you are not in your place when class begins, your space may be given away to someone who is waiting.

3. Mind/body class admittance is closed when the class begins. Late arrivals will not be admitted.
