Gentle Yoga + Gentle Flow
Various Times Daily
Easeful movement classes that connects breath and movement and awakens inner joy. Perfect for all levels. These classes are ideal for those who might want a softer class that moves a little slower than the standard Yoga Hour. Gentle classes can be a great starting place for beginners, and may also be good for those with physical challenges or limitations.
Get Up & Flow
Mondays, Tuesdays & Thursdays 6:30am
This early morning class begins slowly and gently, but gradually builds toward a steady and energetic 30-minute flow. A few seated postures help ground our energy for the day ahead. And a long savasana seals the deal. A balanced practice in every way.
Vin/Yin
Mondays & Fridays 9:30am
An all-levels hybrid for students seeking balance. Experience the yin-yang theory with a 50/50 mix of dynamic and warming vinyasa flow (yang) followed by passive and cooling yin yoga. The chocolate peanut butter cup of yoga.
Dynamic Flow
Mondays, Thursdays 6:00pm
Saturdays, Sundays 5:00pm
This upbeat, flowing class moves at a steady pace with each movement linked to a breath. The soothing rhythm has a calming effect on the mind, producing an almost meditative effect. Challenging, but not TOO challenging. Sweaty, but not TOO sweaty. Just right for a Monday evening, & accessible to most levels. Some experience is recommended.
Sweat & Soul
Tue,Wed, Thur 10:00am (60 minutes)
A dynamic and upbeat class that increases cardio and movement with carefully crafted flow sequences, followed by a stretching and cool down flow ending in a deep relaxation.
Prenatal Yoga
Tuesdays 5:30pm

Expect a combination of active, flowing poses as well as restorative poses to relax and re-energize. Simple breathing and meditation techniques will be introduced to support the practice and bring the attention inward. No yoga experience is necessary.
Flow to Peak Pose
Tuesdays 6:00pm
We begin with an energetic flow to bring circulation to the muscles and joints, preparing the body and mind to explore a peak pose. We will create accessibility through props, kramas (stages) and variations, so that we each find our expression of the pose. Then we wind down, followed by a restful shavasana (relaxation). Open to Everyone, although some experience is helpful.
Yin Yoga
Tuesdays 7:00pm | Fridays 5:30pm | Sundays 6:30pm
Calm your mind and body with this meditative practice. Yin yoga postures are primarily passive in nature and are held longer than traditional poses to facilitate the healing and restoration of tendons, ligaments, and fascia. Postures are primarily focused on less flexible and less mobile areas of the body like the hips, shoulders, and back to allow for a release of tension and stiffness.
Get Up, Stretch & Align
Wednesdays 7:00am
This hour long class will focus on connecting deeply to the breath and building a strong, safe asana practice. We will explore various breathing practices (pranayama) as a foundation and create awareness in the body through precise alignment using props. Build strength and flexibility through an emphasis on breath, alignment and use of props. All levels welcome.
Yin & Nidra
Wednesdays 5:30pm
First, about 45 minutes of Yin Yoga, where restful postures are held for longer periods of time. These longer, passive holds activate the parasympathetic nervous system for deep relaxation & a stretch for the connective tissues of the body known as fascia. Then 15 minutes of Yoga Nidra, meaning "conscious sleep." Simply lay on your back & experience a guided meditation designed to integrate the physical, emotional, & spiritual "layers."
Slow Flow
Wednesdays 6:00pm | Saturdays & Sundays 4:00pm
Slow Flow moves at a meditative and therapeutic pace, emphasizing peace and calm within the body and mind. We hold poses longer, taking several rounds of breath in each pose, instead of moving with each breath. This class is great for all levels including beginners.
The Hip Class
Thursdays 7:00pm
The Hip Class is mildly paced, beginner-friendly class focused on strengthening, stabilizing, mobilizing, and opening the muscles and tissues of the lower body. Our hips are the seat of holding within the body. Yet our modern lifestyle makes the hips progressively tighten over time, leading to low back discomfort, sciatica, restless leg syndrome, and many other imbalances. This class mixes movement, long holds and yin to create a feeling of space in those hips!
Get Up & Stretch
Fridays 7:00am
Yin to Vin! An all-levels hybrid for students seeking balance. Experience the yin-yang theory with a 50/50 mix of slow, yin-like passive poses that ease you into a vinyasa before cooling back down. The best of both worlds.
