Special Events (unique, one-time offerings)

Donation-Based Yoga for the Climb out of the Darkness Fundraiser - Although our annual Climb class just passed, we are leaving the donation link below through Saturday, June 14 in case anyone would still like to donate to the cause!

What is the Climb?  It is a fundraiser that happens all over the nation to support each community directly and raise awareness for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. Donations made for this yoga class will go directly back to our community to support and provide resources for those experiencing mental disorders that occur during pregnancy and the first year or two following childbirth.

Thursday, June 19, 5:30-8:00pm: Summer Solstice Celebration at Valle Crucis Park! - Join us for our second annual yoga, sound meditation, and community meal in the park to honor the longest day of the year in the most magical of places :) The yoga movement will be gentle, accessible, and suitable for all. Post yoga we will relax and bathe in the sounds of singing bowls, chimes, and more <3 To conclude, Chef Kim from Soul Fire Food + Events will share with us a delicious locally-sourced meal prepared with so much love and positive energy. We’re excited to come together and celebrate this beautiful time of year in community and light.

Yoga mats will be provided if you do not bring your own. We encourage you to bring a blanket or something comfortable for the sound meditation as well as a water bottle or any drink(s) you’d like to enjoy during the event.

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)

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.

Pose Clinic - If you want to take a deeper dive into the yoga asanas (poses), then this workshop-style class is for you! The session will begin with a vinyasa-style warm-up guided by your instructor followed by a deeper dive into the Pose-of-the-Day where we will look at alignment details, how to utilize props, as well as variations and modifications for the pose to meet your body and support it where it's at. The class will close with a cool-down and final relaxation to allow time to rest and digest your time on the mat. Your instructor will offer time for you to ask questions and/or get personalized, hands-on feedback from them. This class is a great option for all skill levels wanting to learn or refine, so no matter if you are a beginner or an experienced practitioner, this class is for you! June Pose-of-the-Day Calendar - June 5: Revolved Triangle, June 12: Crow, June 19: Shoulder Stand, June 26: Backbends

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 body-weight exercises with yoga movements and poses in order to build strength for 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!

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.
