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 :)

Special Classes (unique, one-time offerings)

Saturday, Feb 1, 9:00-10:15am Socks N Blocks - What happens when you remove the "stick" of a mat from your yoga practice? You sample a different flavor of strength and stability and encounter a new feature- SLIDE.
Join us for this one-time "Socks & Blocks" workshop-style class to explore the various ways your practice shifts when you make space for the glide & slide through familiar shapes.  This is an active class that will offer plenty of challenge, with options to lighten or spice things up to your liking! Wear a pair of thick socks and we'll provide the blocks- no mat necessary!

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 :) 

Handstand Training - Your weekly handstand workshop class!  In this class we will practice skills and drills to build strength and a strong foundation for handstands.  All levels are welcome - you do not have to have any handstand 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 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.

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 - In this 90 minute practice, you’ll be guided through a full series of seated meditation, pranayama (breathing techniques), sun salutations (flow), standing postures, balance and arm balance poses, a series of backbends, seated folds, inversions, hip openers, and a long savasana (relaxation). It’s an all-encompassing type of practice inspired by multiple styles of yoga including Ashtanga, Hatha, Vinyasa, and Iyengar. This class will have less emphasis on creative sequencing and upbeat music and more emphasis on focus and self-awareness in the poses.

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.
