Class Descriptions (find your flow!)

 Level I – Open-level & NEWCOMER-friendly: with a focus on mind/body awareness, informing safe alignment, all poses are demonstrated the first time they are cued.

Level I/II – Open-level & MIXED ABILITY:  friendly to beginners and seasoned yogis. Some level of prior yoga experience may be helpful but not required, alignment is cued, some demoing. (Always inform the instructor if you are brand-new to yoga).

Level II/III – INTERMEDIATE, prior yoga experience and familiarity with common poses and alignment is encouraged, as demoing is limited. Come expand your practice!

Craving stillness? Restorative classes are all about relaxing the body in seated and reclined postures (no standing series) with the support of props like blankets, blocks, and bolsters. You can expect a gentle series of shapes that allow your body to relax naturally under the weight of gravity. Suitable for all students of every ability!

Stillness + stretch? A Yin yoga practice is about relaxing the muscles and allowing space into the connective tissues in the body - tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Poses are held for several minutes at a time, with the body supported by props like blocks, bolsters, and blankets, while you relax, stretch, and breathe. These are passive (still) postures with active stretching (different from Restorative, which is only passive). Yin Yoga can help increase blood and energy flow through the body. 

Beginner-friendly and students of all experience level welcome!

This is our class for newcomers! A perfect place to start or restart your yoga practice. You can expect an introduction to the basics of a vinyasa yoga class; how to connect to your breath, a breakdown of common poses, including their names in English and Sanskrit, safe alignment, and how to modify your practice with props. Terms and cues commonly referenced in yoga classes will be explained so you can confidently grow your own practice at your own pace. This class is designed with fundamentals in mind, building your mind/body awareness, and making yoga accessible (and fun!) for every body.  

A combination class of both movement and stillness to steady the mind and body. Traditionally, the practice of yoga postures (asana) and breathwork (pranayama) is to prepare for the deeper practice of meditation (dhyana). In this class you can expect both a body-warming sequence of postures, a focus on alignment and steadiness of breath, along with more stillness in shapes, exploring elements of yin yoga, restorative yoga, and meditation to calm the nervous system either before or after the flow. This is an open-level class suitable for beginners (though if you are brand-new to yoga we recommend taking one prior Yoga Foundations class).  

Mixed-ability class! Options always provided to make your practice your own. Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word that loosely translates to “breath to movement” or “to move with precision.” In this class you can expect a warmup of sun salutations (surya namaskar), a creative sequence of postures (asana) that build upon one another, and a nice cool down before final rest (shavasana). A fun class to explore alignment, the power of your breath (prana), get your heart pumping, and build your strength and flexibility to different playlists. This class is MIXED ABILITY meaning students of all levels are welcome, including beginners and seasoned yogis (total newcomers are encouraged to take Yoga Foundations before diving into open-level).  

You can expect an energizing series of postures to wake up your body and bring focus and stillness to your mind so you can tackle the day ahead. Depending on the instructor, this morning class will either be vinyasa, hatha, or ashtanga style. This class is open-level and suitable for students with any prior experience ( total newcomers are encouraged to take one Foundations class, first). Always listen to your body and take any variation most accessible to you, or skip any pose. 

 In this intermediate class, you can expect a strong connection to breath, a focus on building strength, maybe working toward a peak pose, and the chance to explore your edge in different postures with optional balances, binds, holds, inversions, and backbends. Instructors may focus on a particular area of the body or chakra, or workshop various postures. This class is intended for students familiar with yoga and an understanding of basic alignment (postures are cued with limited demoing).
