Gentle Beginner
Gentle is a beginner class with a softer approach. The class environment helps students down regulate their nervous system. A must for anyone struggling with anxiety and over-stimulation. We will practice floor stretches and standing poses, but we will not get up and down. Class will start on the floor, then we will stand and do some poses, then we will end on the floor. This makes the class more accessible for those who have a hard time getting up and down. This class is popular with Seniors and those who just want a subtle all-over stretch. All levels of students welcome. Expect quiet, instrumental music.
Beginner
Beginner classes familiarize students with beginner poses and focus on proper alignment. This class has a slower pace, but is preparing students for the Flow class, so is challenging at times. This class is great for students who are new to yoga, as well as seasoned yoga students who just prefer a slower practice. The class is named "active" beginner because it is aimed at students who can easily get up and down from the floor multiple times. Active beginners are welcome. Expect music that matches the tempo of the class. Music can vary from instrumental to popular.
Beginner/Intermediate Flow
Beginner/Intermediate classes are intended as a bridge for students who are newer, but are working their way up from Beginner to Intermediate level classes. Also great for Intermediate students who just want a more chill vibe. We will offer multiple options in the poses so that students can dial up or down the intensity of the class, finding what works for them. It can be intimidating to see students who are further in their practice, but it can also be inspiring. That is the attitude we hope you have. We were all beginners once. We will refine beginner poses and introduce intermediate poses. We will learn Ujayii breath and begin to focus on linking poses and breath to create a moving meditation. Beginner/Intermediate students welcome. Expect rhythmic popular music that matches the tempo of the class.

Windows are open in the summer so that fresh oxygen can flow in. Please hydrate well before and bring water. Bring a towel if you tend to sweat and please use your own mat. Beginner/Intermediate students welcome. Expect rhythmic popular music that matches the tempo of the class.
Intermediate Flow
Intermediate classes are energetic and challenging. We will link our Ujaii breath with standing sequences to create a moving meditation. This class assumes that you are familiar with beginner poses and sun salutations and keeps pace with the breath. Due to the demanding and fluid nature of the class, these classes are great for getting you out of your head and into your body. We will refine Intermediate poses and begin to introduce some advances poses. Intermediate students welcome. Expect louder, more upbeat music that will match the intensity and tempo of the class.
