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.

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)

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) and their proper alignment, then this workshop-style class is for you!  We'll have a short group warm-up followed by a Pose-of-the-Day that we'll practice and go over it's proper form and progression. This class incorporates personal exploration through different skill drills as well as partner or group exploration through spotting or assisting each other after appropriate instruction as been given.  Everything is optional of course! 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, and also a great option to build community and get to know your fellow studio-goers!

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!

Yoga Holds - In this 90 minute class, your instructor will guide you through a series of centering and warm-up movements to get you focused and ready for your practice.  You'll then move into a sequence of steady standing asanas (poses) that you'll be guided to hold for several breaths. This class is taught without any music to help you tune into your breath and the instructor offers verbal cues to help you focus on alignment.  There is also the option for hands-on assists from your instructor to help guide you further into the posture. It’s an all-encompassing type of hatha yoga practice inspired by multiple styles of yoga including Ashtanga and Iyengar.  It's a great way to get to know the poses and yourself a bit more!

Yoga/Pilates Fusion - In this class, you'll get settled in with some gentle yoga practices to calm the mind and nervous system.  From there, you'll be guided through a simple yoga flow to get warmed up as well as core-strengthening mat pilates exercises to tone the body. This practice will incorporate a blend of yoga and mat pilates throughout and end with some deeper stretching and savasana (relaxation).  You'll feel strong and empowered from this class regardless of your skill level - beginners are more than welcome!

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.
