Special Classes (unique, one-time offerings)

Friday, Sept 19, 5:30-6:45pm: Fall Equinox Sound Meditation - Join us for this special event to welcome the fall equinox as we shift gears from summer to fall! We'll start by talking about self practices to help establish healthy routines during this time of transition.

To follow, there will be a short guided, seated yoga session to help you settle into your body and prepare for stillness.  Then, we'll provide a guided meditation to help you get focused and grounded for the sound meditation.

For the rest of our time together, you'll be invited to lay down in a comfortable and supportive position and enjoy the sounds of singing bowls, chimes, and more.  We'll provide different layers of sound for you to relax to.

We'll provide bolsters and blankets for you to use if you do not bring your own. Wear comfortable clothing and feel free to bring layers such as cozy socks and a sweater if you like.

We can't wait to share this special offering with you!

Advanced registration is encouraged. Space is limited and our sound meditations often fill.

This class is NOT included in class packages (it is a separate $20 per person).

Passive Classes (grounding, calming, meditative)

Deep Stretch - It's time to slow down and get into the deep connective tissue of your body. This class is taught at a very slow pace with a meditative approach to help you restore your body and calm your mind. You will experience a sense of grounding and centeredness as this class is taught close to your mat with little to no standing postures.

Gentle Yoga -  A soothing and accessible class that focuses on increasing mobility and range of motion in the body. In this class, your instructor will guide you through poses that are selected for improving balance and overall posture. You will learn to move with ease and comfort and develop an understanding of the connection between mind and body. This is a great class option for beginners.  It's also great for older populations, pregnant women, people with limited range of motion, or those who want a softer, slower approach to the practice.

Restorative Yoga - In this class, we will use bolsters (thick, sturdy pillows), blankets, and yoga blocks to fully support our body in each pose. Each pose offers a gentle, refreshing stretch for the body and will be held anywhere from 2-10 minutes. You can close your eyes for most of this class, relax, and let go! A great reset for the body and mind. This is a great class option for beginners. It's also great for older populations, pregnant women, people with limited range of motion, or those who want a softer, slower approach to the practice.

Active Classes (uplifting, toning, dynamic)

Acro Yoga - Join us in this fun, partner/group-based class where you will learn primarily L-basing Acro Yoga in which there is a base, a flyer, and a spotter! Although you can if you want to, you do not need to bring a partner to this class. We encourage everyone to switch around and work in different small groups throughout the class. Come play! The session will start with a group warm-up, go over some acro yoga basics and things to know, then will be very exploratory as we break into groups and get creative with the different skills! No experience is necessary - this class will incorporate the basic Acro Yoga skills you need to start. It’s time to build trust, strength, and community and maybe make a new friend or two!

Breathe & Flow - In this class, you'll be guided through a warm-up that includes movement and pranayama (breathwork) to get the blood flowing and the mind stimulated for your practice.  You'll then move into a vinyasa-style (flow) yoga practice that allows you to flow with your breath through the poses.  It's a great class to get your morning moving meditation on!  Suitable for beginners and experienced practitioners.

Flow - In this class you'll be guided by your instructor through an all-levels sequence of vinyasa yoga in which you can move with your breath and explore the range of motion in your body. With active and dynamic options, a combination of seated and standing postures are offered to help you connect with your body and clear your mind. We welcome you to join us for this feel-good flow class :) 

Mat Pilates - Learn to strengthen your powerhouse muscles of the core, glutes, and thighs with movements inspired by and derived from Joseph Pilates’ classical mat series. We will tone the core with several abdominal exercises and strengthen the glutes and inner thighs with various side kick movements. Great class for building strength with a very accessible approach!

Slow Flow - A general, all-encompassing yoga practice with emphasis on stability, mobility, and functional movement. In this class, your instructor will guide you through a hatha yoga inspired practice that will leave you feeling strong and steady. Be prepared for a challenge at a slower, more digestible pace. All levels welcome.

Power - In this class you’ll practice a dynamic vinyasa flow designed to strengthen and tone your whole body. This class is meant to offer a challenge for the body and mind by combining strong holds and powerful movements with the mentality that the yoga actually begins when you want to come out of the pose. Although we encourage you to "stay with it” and “find a way in” you are always welcome take rest when you need. Come join us in this class if you like our “flow” class and want to take it to the next level :)

Yoga HIIT - Your go-to yoga/workout fusion class! In this class we'll combine strengthening exercises with yoga movements and poses in order to tone your whole body.  We'll move through a dynamic warm up into a yoga-based high intensity interval training (HIIT) workout and finish with passive stretching. A great option for those who would like a cardio-infused morning movement practice!

Yoga Sculpt - *NEW* class offering!! Come try Yoga Sculpt with us! In this class, you will be guided through a Flow (vinyasa) style practice with weighted movements (using 3-8 pound dumbbells) incorporated into some of the poses to build strength and strong bones! Everyone is welcome and the use of weights is optional (we provide them for you)!

Fusion Classes (active & passive)

Flow to Yin - Enjoy the best of both worlds with this yin yang blend. The class begins with a flow guided by your instructor to get the body warmed and loosened up and closes as a deep stretch (yin) practice to lengthen the muscles and improve mobility.  A great option for those who want a balance between an active and passive practice.  Beginners welcome.

Heated (warm) vs. Not Heated

Any class we offer with the word “warm” in the title means that the room is heated around 85-90 degrees with added humidity to help loosen the muscles and detox the body throughout the practice. If adding a little extra heat to your practice sounds good to you, then these are the classes for you!

Already run hot enough? Not to worry - all classes without “warm” in the title are non-heated. The room is 70-75 degrees for these classes to provide a comfortable temperature and allow you to use your own internal heat to light up your practice with.
