Basic
The fundamentals of yoga postures (asanas) are introduced and explored in our Basic classes, with an emphasis on correct alignment, breathing practices (pranayama) and strength building for a solid foundation. If you are new to yoga, please check out the Beginners page for more information about getting started and our Workshops page for our Beginners Series.
Basic/Intermediate
This is a more advanced Basic level class, not meant for absolute beginners. Any basic level student with a regular practice who feels ready for a new challenge is welcome.
Intermediate
This class is designed as a bridge between the Basic and Open levels. More challenging postures are introduced and explored, including arm balances and inversions. Detailed instruction is provided to further your practice.
All Levels
Modifications are available for every level from newer students to more advanced practitioners. All will find a mindful and invigorating challenge.
Flow and Restore
Move through a sequence of warming postures designed to engage the body before easing into a series of restorative poses using props to support your total release.
Restorative
Reclined and supinated postures with props. A time to cultivate deep rest and healing. All levels welcome.
Express Class
This is a streamlined hour-long version of our standard classes. Condensed to contain the elements of our longer classes: vinyasa, standing poses, seated poses, backbends, and inversions—this class is to accommodate students’ busy lives, so you can still get your yoga in!
Gentle Yoga
For those of you who need to take it easy for any number of reasons, this is the class for you. Physical limitations come in a variety of forms: anything from recovering from injury or illness to chronic issues like arthritis. With a little more time and a lot of physical modifications given by our skilled teacher, you can still practice yoga postures, breathing exercises and meditation. This class can also be a gentle introduction to yoga for new students who are unsure if yoga is for them.
Yoga for Strength and Mobility
In this class you will be guided to use your full body to build strength and flexibility. Methods include yoga and pilates. You can expect to be led through twisting, balancing, grounding, back bending sequences and repetitions with savasana at the end. Link your breath and movement together and leave feeling strong, balanced and blissful! This is an all levels class.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a different approach to yoga asana. Often referred to as “a quiet practice,” poses are done lying or sitting down, close to the floor, and held for longer periods of time to target the connective tissue of the body. Yin yoga increases resilience, nourishes the joints and bones, and quiets the mind. This practice is suitable for all levels and is a nice balance to vinyasa and flow style classes.
