Class Descriptions
Beginner Aikido
(max capacity: 16)
Participation in Aikido can help to increase your ability to focus and stay calm under pressure along with developing strategies for conflict resolution. Participants will learn effective protection techniques of the traditional Japanese martial art, Aikido, as taught at Agatsu Dojos. Students can expect to acquire skills in defense through redirection of force without aggression or competition. Specifically, foundational movement and timing principles will lead to techniques that engage throws, locks and pins. Students can expect to also learn ukemi, or the art of receiving techniques, which includes back falls. Exposure to handling of the Jo (wooden staff) and Ken (wooden sword) are also incorporated at this level. No previous experience needed!
Intermediate/Advanced Aikido
(max capacity: 16)
The intermediate Aikido class builds upon foundational teachings of the beginner class. Participants will begin to explore the function of movements while learning to effectively integrate them into techniques while advancing their ukemi to include front and back rolls. Students also can expect to continue building upon solo Jo and Ken exercises. Invitation to this class is at the discretion of the instructor.
BODYPUMP®
(max capacity: 25)
This barbell class will strengthen your entire body and challenge all of your major muscle groups by using weight room exercises like squats, presses, lifts, and curls. Great music, motivating instructors, and a team environment will get you through every workout. You will use a variety of weighted barbells through different music tracks, each dedicated to a different muscle group. Instructions will guide you in movements, weight selections, and tempo. This is a strength training class but moves at a quicker pace, so you should expect both strength and cardiovascular efforts. You will always make your own weight selection and decide if and when to challenge yourself.
Boxing
Candlelit Yoga
(max capacity: 30)
Are you looking for a mid-week reset?

Through the practice, we'll learn variations of traditional standing and seated yoga shapes that you can take with you off the mat into everyday life. The practice is a full Yoga experience including warm up, relaxation, making shapes, pranayama (breathing practices), and meditation.
Chair, mat, blocks, and strap are provided--just bring yourself (and perhaps a cozy blanket/towel)!
F.A.Q.:
Am I flexible enough for yoga?
You are exactly flexible enough for this practice (no matter your current degree).
Am I ______ enough for yoga?

Pilates Fusion
(max capacity: 20)
Pilates Fusion is the best of both worlds - pilates core strengthening with elements of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training).

Your instructor will program traditional pilates exercises paired with a higher intensity move to find a sweet balance of functional core work and a cardiovascular push. With the workout changing week to week, you’ll find variety in the movements while strengthening each muscle group. With a focus on form, instructors will cue movements that you can use inside and outside of class.
Meditation
This class will focus on slow, deep breathing techniques and meditative postures. Beginning with gentle postures and ending with a long rest, this practice aims to relax the mind and the body. Follow Instructor Abigail's voice as she guides you through this meditative practice.
Recharge Yoga
The aim of this session is to decompress at the end of our week and prepare ourselves for the next week to come. Please join Instructor Abigail for a renewing flow featuring a balancing blend of Yin and Yang yoga followed by extended savasana. Our hope is that you will leave each session feeling supported and a bit more connected to yourself and others around you.
