Vinyasa

A well-rounded mind/body workout.  You’ll pair your breath with vigorous, fluid movement to sweat, increase stamina and build strength.  Beginning pranayama and devotional work included.  Studio thermostat is comfortably set to 80 degrees – with possible variations in actual room temperature based on factors we cannot control like outside temperature.  Instruction is not geared toward beginners, however with self-modifications, all levels welcome.

Hatha Flow

A vigorous practice designed to be slower and more stable than vinyasa yoga. You’ll move through a sequence of strong postures designed to ignite your internal fire and steadiness of mind with core support, pranayama and longer holds.  Studio thermostat is comfortably set to 78-82 degrees – with possible variations in actual room temperature based on factors we cannot control like outside temperature and number of people in class.  Devotional work included most of the time. Suitable for all levels with self-modifications.

Gentle Yoga

A slower, gentler class. We’ll work with basic poses and core stability, finding the ideal balance between strength and flexibility, tension relief and stress reduction. Periodic pauses are taken as we rest in a more passive poses. Suitable for all levels. Studio thermostat is set to a barely warmed 70-75 degrees – with possible variations in actual room temperature based on factors we cannot control like outside temperature and number of people in class.

Restorative Yoga

A still and gentle practice that facilitates restful relaxation and deep structural release. We will work with a combination of Yin, restorative and soft, simple movements to find a quality of ease and groundedness in the body and mind. Suitable for all levels. Studio thermostat is set to a barely warmed 70-75 degrees. Limited to 12 participants; please pre-register.

Yin Yoga

Yin provides a balance to active (yang) yoga practices and busy life. Focusing on long-held floor poses combined with breath work and meditation, you’ll work beneath the superficial muscles to target the dense connective tissues of the body to increase flexibility and move stagnant energy. This deep practice is gentle, yet intense, helping students not only to open the body, but also to cultivate the ability to observe and stay with sensation. Suitable for all levels. Class is barely warmed to 70-75 degrees.

Movement, Breath, Sound

Increase strength, build vitality and create mental clarity in this potent mashup of physical postures, breath work, meditation, and sound vibration. This intelligent approach integrates the physicality of hatha yoga postures, such as sun salutations or standing posture flow, with the transformational possibilities of meditation and breath work. Studio thermostat is comfortably set to 78-82 degrees – with possible variations in actual room temperature based on factors we cannot control like outside temperature and number of people in class.
