Mindful Movement
Level 1 (Beginner Friendly)
This Level 1 yoga class focuses on moving mindfully and slowly in order to build strength and mobility throughout the entire body. This class is perfect for the student wishing to develop or improve body awareness, physical recovery, agility, endurance, and mindfulness. We will move with intention to create stability and balance by practicing poses that help to promote flexibility, muscular and bone strength, as well as mind-body connection.
Perfect for beginners, ALL levels are welcome!
Grow Your Flow
Level 1-2 Vinyasa Flow (Beginner-Intermediate)
The Level 1-2 Vinyasa class focuses on strengthening and refining the foundation of your yoga practice. This class allows and encourages you to begin to deepen into your practice with an emphasis on the breath and healthy alignment.
These classes are great for the student with very little experience as well as the seasoned practitioner.
Form & Flow
Level 2 (Intermediate-Advanced)
The Form & Flow Vinyasa Yoga class is a challenging yoga practice that moves through creative flow sequences and more challenging asanas. Building on the foundation of healthy alignment and active muscular engagement, poses are linked with the breath and generally "flow" to encourage the evolution of one's practice as moving meditation.
Form & Flow (Level 2) classes work from a base of vigorous sun salutations to explore challenging variations of poses, including arm balances, deeper twist variations, standing balance poses, inversions, and backbends. Level 2 teachers are skilled at offering modifications that build towards a pose in a way that is safe and appropriate for each individual student. Breath work and meditation are also often explored in these classes.
This class builds stamina and strength while also developing grace and flexibility. Proficiency with foundational yoga poses recommended. This class is appropriate for students with a solid flow yoga practice, and intermediate practitioners.
Therapeutic Vinyasa
Therapeutic Vinyasa Flow is a class that focuses on some of the most common areas that we experience discomfort. This may include upper or lower back, hamstrings and quadricep muscles, hips, IT band, or gluteal muscles. In addition to an active slower flow of asanas used to address and release tension and restrictions, as well as strengthen weak areas, class may also include the addition of one or more of the following: targeted strength work, stretches, yoga anatomy insight, myofascial release, assists, restorative poses, meridian work, pranayama, and meditation.
This class is suitable for anyone who enjoys a slower paced, deeply explorative yoga practice.
Slow Flow Vinyasa
Slow Flow Vinyasa Yoga is a slower paced class focused on mindfully moving and breathing while holding poses longer. Explore your edge, build strength and flexibility, while still creating a relaxed and revitalizing experience.
This class is for anyone that enjoys a strong, slower paced yoga practice.
Foundations of Yoga
(All Levels)
The Foundations of Yoga class is designed for new students and all students interested in building and strengthening the foundation of their yoga practice. If you're new to the practice, just getting back to your practice, or want a refresh of the fundamentals, this class is perfect for you!
The slower pace of this class allows for more time to learn and explore the asanas (postures),
while building a solid and safe foundation for your practice. This class is created to be extremely accessible and ideal for anyone interested in developing a mindful, connected, and conscious yoga practice.
All Levels of Experience Are Welcome!
Yin Yoga
(All Levels)
Yin Yoga encourages us to slow down so that we may go deeper into a stretch. This style of yoga applies emphasis to slowing down and holding passive, stretching postures. This in turn opens the muscles and connective tissues of the body, tendons, fascia and ligaments with the aim of increasing circulation and flexibility.
Restorative Yoga
(All Levels)
Restorative Yoga is a non-vigorous, deeply calming practice that emphasizes the use blankets, bolsters, blocks and a variety of other props to completely support the body in yoga postures with no muscular effort. We take our time to build and customize the postures in a manner that is beneficial to your body and your needs. During long holds in these fully supported positions, we are able to relax the body deeply, slow the breath, and invite stillness into the mind, initiating the “Relaxation Response” by stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system.
Come Rest, Relax & Renew your body, mind & spirit with this gentle yet deeply healing yoga class.
This class is suitable for students of ALL levels!
Yoga for Osteoporosis
This yoga class is an opportunity for those who have participated in the Yoga for Osteoporosis Series to continue supporting and strengthening their bodies through an active and sustainable yoga practice.
In addition to reducing stress levels and providing a mild workout, yoga can be helpful in managing Osteoporosis.
Build strength in your muscles and bones, improve your balance, range of motion, and coordination with this series of classes specially designed to address the common issues that arise with this condition.
Although you do not need to have Osteoporosis to benefit from this class, the class will be taught with an emphasis on safety and clear instruction of how to practice the poses in a manner that will support the student with Osteoporosis.
Barre-"less" Class
You don’t need to be a ballerina to do barre! Barre-less class is a 45-minute, low impact, muscular endurance workout that focuses on high repetitions and small, isometric movements. Instructors bring the heat with their fun, upbeat playlists and are sure to give your muscles the workout they're craving.
Due to Covid-19 safety protocols, we've adapted classic barre exercises to be performed in the center of the room either standing or on the floor. Classes may also include resistance bands, small balls, chairs, and hand weights.
