Classes
Listed in order of difficulty.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative is for anyone who wants to restore the body and mind. The emphasis is on being instead of doing, creating space to be nurtured and supported. The class environment helps students down regulate their nervous system. A must for anyone struggling with anxiety and over-stimulation. We hold poses for 5 to 8 minutes so the body has a long time to settle in. Poses are supported with blocks, bolsters and blankets so that they feel effortless. All poses are practiced sitting or lying down.
Expect quiet, instrumental music.
All levels of students welcome.
Calming Stretch
This Yin style practice is for anyone who wants to stretch out and luxuriate in the quiet. The class environment helps students down regulate their nervous system. A must for anyone struggling with anxiety and over-stimulation. Yin is also ideal for students who are naturally stiff or who are tightening their muscles a lot with their workouts. This class is quiet and calming like Restorative but is different in that there can be intensity in the stretches. We hold poses for 3 to 5 minutes so the body has a long time to settle in. All poses are practiced sitting or lying down.
Expect quiet, instrumental music.
All levels of students welcome.
Gentle Yoga
Gentle is a beginner class with a softer approach. The class aims to provide an all over gentle strength and stretch. 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.
Expect quiet, instrumental music.
All levels of students welcome.
Beginners
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 classes. 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.
Expect rhythmic popular music that matches the tempo of the class.
Active beginners & beyond welcome.
Balanced Flow
A beginner/intermediate class intended as a bridge for students who are newer, but are working their way up to more challenging 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.
Expect rhythmic popular music that matches the tempo of the class.
Beginner/Intermediate students welcome.
Hot Yoga
Heated version of the balanced flow (as described above). Temperature is usually between 80-90 degrees depending on the time of year. 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.
Expect rhythmic popular music that matches the tempo of the class.
Beginner/Intermediate students welcome.
Challenging Flow
An intermediate class that is 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 introduce advanced poses.
Expect louder, more upbeat music that matches the intensity and tempo of the class.
Intermediate students welcome.
Challenging Flow + Inversions & Arm Balances
A challenging flow (as described above) that includes arm balances and working inversions at the wall. Best for students who have little difficulty with intermediate poses and are ready for more. We will work to build strength, focus on core and explore more intricate variations of poses.
Expect louder, more upbeat music that matches the intensity and tempo of the class.
Intermediate/Advanced students welcome.
