We welcome all skill levels in all of our classes! Come as you are and choose the class that calls to you each day :)
Special Event Classes (unique, one-time offerings)
Thursday, December 19, 5:30-7:00pm: Restorative Yoga & Sound Meditation - We welcome you to join us for this restorative yoga and sound experience as we celebrate the official first day of the winter season. We will welcome in the light as the longer days prepare to unfold before us.
In this session, we'll begin seated with a guided meditation and intention setting. We'll then move through some gentle yoga movement to get grounded into the body. From there we'll use bolsters, blankets, and blocks (provided) to rest the body and softly stretch and connect with our inner light.
You'll then get to lay back for an extended relaxation and enjoy beautiful layers of vibrational sounds from sacred instruments including crystal singing bowls and chimes.
This class is sold out, but please join the waitlist (call if waitlist is full) and you’ll be notified if a spot opens. We want you to be there, so we’ll squeeze you in if we can :)
Monday, December 30, 5:30-7:00pm: Resolutions for Evolution - Not another January broken promise. Discover a method for replacing unconscious habits with intentional rituals, all in the service of cultivating a way of living that is more aligned with your goals and values.
Join us for this special workshop to explore how to use a Magic Calendar to make measurable strides toward enhancing your physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing. Whether your intention is to do more, feel more, notice more or explore more (or all of the above!), you’ll learn how to make a strategic plan, one month at a time, to better allocate the precious currency of your time and attention. We'll also explore tactics for elevating the mundane activities of your day to the realm of the magical (the space where routine becomes ritual).
Expect guided meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques) and gentle movement woven throughout discussion and brainstorming. You’ll walk out with the tools you need and a plan in hand to step confidently into 2025.
Paper and writing utensils will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own notebook and writing tools.
Tuesday, December 31, 11:00am-12:30pm: NYE Shake it Out & Release - Liberated Body Yoga - Join us for our last studio class of 2024! Using grounding techniques and yoga asanas (poses), you'll be guided through a journey of releasing stuck tensions through stomping, shaking, tapping, and song. Working with the wintertime stillness and the exuberance of the holiday season, this class will blend higher intensity movement with easeful, gentle rest. It’s a trust the process type of flow!
This unique, special offering will start with a meditation including visualization and body scanning. You'll then be led into bigger body movements, repetitive flows that feel like meditation. There will be a period of shaking it out, body tapping, big breath work spaces, and poses such as goddess, warriors, and chair. Out with the old, in with the new!
Wednesday, January 1, 10:30am-12:00pm: NYD Yoga & Introspection - Leaning into Your Intuitive Self - Join us for our first studio class of 2025! Start off the year with a fresh and energized outlook. This class will inspire you to connect with your unique intuition through movement, meditation, and journaling. We’ll explore and uncover ways to nourish and care for ourselves as we begin a brand new year. All levels are welcome.
Paper and writing utensils will be provided, but you are encouraged to bring your own notebook and writing tools.
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)
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 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!
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 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.
