HATHA – active class at a slower, informative pace
Move through foundational yoga postures one at a time, breathe deeply, and practice being in the moment. Hatha classes promote balance, strength, flexibility, and stillness in the mind, and are suitable to all levels. Beginner-friendly.
FLOW – active class with a faster pace, linking poses to breath
Flow classes change postures with each breath to create a moving meditation and build heat in the body. They are Inspired by Vinyasa yoga in the tradition of Sri Kirshnamacharya. Flow classes cultivate strength and flexibility, get your heart rate up, and are suited to anyone with a good foundation in yoga postures who is open to play and creative sequencing.
RESTORATIVE – restful, peaceful and supportive class
Restorative yoga is a meditative class geared towards to opening the body and stilling the mind through supported resting postures. Some of our clients playfully call it "adult nap time" becaue it's so mellow and refreshing.
YIN – long-held poses offer challenge and deep release
Yin Yoga moves at a slower pace, with each shape held for a long time. The benefits of Yin are found in giving the fascial networks in the body a gentle stretch which, held for several minutes, allows the fascia to relax.
NIDRA – restful, cozy class with guided imagery and deep meditation
This accessible, restful class is built around stillness, intention-setting, breathwork. Nidra settles us into a comfortable resting savasana, while the instructor guides us into progressively deeper levels of relaxation. Participants leave feeling rested and connected. This class may involve some gentle movement, and is very beginner-friendly.
