Class Descriptions

We welcome all skill levels in all of our classes! Come as you are and choose the class that calls to you each day :)

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.

Active Classes (uplifting, toning, dynamic)

Alignment-Based Yoga - A traditional yoga class designed to align and refine your postures. In this practice, you will go through the postures at a steady pace that allows for mindful movement and breath awareness. This is a great practice for all skill levels with cues from your instructor to help you work on your form and precision in the poses.

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 :) 

Inversion/Arm Balance Practice- Your weekly workshop class focusing on all things upside-down and gravity-defying! In this class we will practice skills and drills to build strength and a strong foundation for handstands, headstands, forearm stands, crow pose, and arm balances of all kinds. Each week will have a specific focus but the weeks will not be cumulative, so please drop-in whenever you can! There will be time in each class to play, practice, ask questions, and get hands-on assistance/a spotter. All levels are welcome - you do not have to have any inversion/arm balance experience to take this class. Come join us as we flip our perspective and get upside down!

Mat Pilates - Learn to strengthen your powerhouse muscles by following 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!

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 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.
