We have classes for all levels of students and we want you to find what’s right for you. Wherever you are, we want your yoga practice to be safe and satisfying.
Our Basic Classes
These classes teach the fundamentals of yoga; the movements, the breath, and body awareness. Some will incorporate more stillness and some will flow and move more, but all of them are suitable for practitioners at any level. Teacher will always offer modifications to help you dial it up or down as you need.
Better Backs + Beginners
A basic yoga class that will help new students learn the fundamentals, while still offering more practiced students a solid class of familiar poses for a healthy back.
Suitable for all.
Mindful & Mellow Yoga
This is a combination of somatics, slow and gentle movements, and long-held yin or restorative postures. These gentle movements are used to re-educate the brain so it can relax and move the muscles more functionally, undoing habitual learned movement patterns that can lead to restriction and tightness.
Sun/Moon PM Yoga
A low-key class to help wind down from the busy week. Beginning with breath and centering to quiet the mind. Then movement is added to connect mind, breath, and body in a basic flow suitable for yogi’s of all levels. Practice closes with yin-inspired deep stretches to help relax, reset, and recharge.
Healthy Aging Yoga
Building flexibility, balance, and strength ensures that we can continue to enjoy the things we love to do as we age. So in this class we add elements of all three. Practice begins seated on a chair where we release tension in the spine from low back to head. Still on the chair we work on a little arm strength with light weights (under 3#). We add a little hip opening here too. Then we come to standing where we use the chair or the wall for support as we work on balance and do some standing poses. We won’t spend time in table pose that can be hard for delicate wrist or knees.
This is a creative chair yoga class that’s suitable for everyone and a great starting point for anyone.
Yin Yoga
A quiet, floor practice of stretches held for three
or more minutes to create healthy connective tissue (tendons and ligaments) around the joints. A perfect complement to more active practices. Props are offered to assist your release in the stretch. Good for new students, athletes, or anyone working to free patterns of tightness in stiff joints.
More Intermediate Classes
More practiced students, or those who seek more physical or mental challenge, may gravitate to Flow yoga classes, called vinyasa yoga. This is style of yoga where sequences of yoga poses are planned to synchronize with the breath throughout the practice. There is a stronger focus on coordinated standing movement to build stable, self-centering energy.
Experience isn’t necessary and we encourage everyone not to underestimate what they might be capable of in the pursuit of greater energy and mental clarity.
Slow Flow Vinyasa Yoga
A vinyasa-based class of movement and breath designed to build balanced, flexible strength and endurance in both body and mind. Poses may range from gentle to challenging, but focus on a pace slow enough to focus and maintain the breath.
Some yoga experience may be helpful for these classes, but modifications are always offered and slow flow is a good option for even new students who seek movement with concentration.
Ashtanga-Inspired Vinyasa
This vinyasa-based class, based on Ashtanga & Power Yoga, is the most vigorous of our class offerings. Sun Salutations form the foundation of the class and the beginning of classes will focus on breath-coordinated, standing movement that builds strength and endurance. While the class isn’t heated, it does rely on building internal heat for cardiovascular fitness and weight loss. This might be considered the most athletic style of yoga, and attracts those who gravitate to strong physical activity. The challenge is designed to keep practitioners in the moment, and by the end of class leave a calmer breath, body, and mind.
Yoga experience is helpful and we recommend trying out Slow Flow before moving to the faster pace of this class.
