Class Descriptions
All classes are offered in person and virtually so you can practice your way.
-
Vinyasa Yoga
A dynamic flow incorporating creative movement patterns, safe alignment principles and the belief that practice makes practice, not perfection. Come as you are for a playful flow with options to modify at every level of practice. Expect to cultivate curiosity and self-inquiry through breath work, seated and standing poses, balances and inversions.
-
Yin Yoga
Yin is the practice of slowing down and inviting space into the body, physically and energetically. In this class, you will make space in the connective tissues in the body by holding poses for 3-5 minutes with supportive props. Yin emphasizes curiosity and encourages noticing your internal landscape: breath and sensations as well as habits and patterns. This gentle, juicy practice invites you to arrive as you are. Modifications are offered for all levels.
-
Iyengar Yoga
This class draws from the Iyengar lineage and is ideal for students who want to explore poses not often featured in Vinyasa classes, all within an environment of compassionate curiosity. Expect to experience mindfulness, creative prop support & progressive posture sequencing. You'll develop strength, endurance and stability with sustained isometric holds, and gain flexibility with end-range movement. By increasing awareness of anatomy, alignment and somatic movement techniques, you'll release unnecessary effort and enhance your body's natural flow.

As one student put it, “it’s the yoga class you didn’t know you needed!”
-
Yin & Reiki
Yin is the practice of slowing down and inviting space into the body, physically and energetically. Reiki is a form of Japanese energy healing to support deep relaxation and well-being. This gently paced class gives you time to make space in the body's connective tissues by holding poses for 3-5 minutes with supportive props. Your mind will quiet and calm as you soften into each shape. Modifications are available for all levels of practice. Hands-on assists and Reiki in the form of gentle touch are offered throughout class. Consent cards are provided to opt in and out of hands-on work.
-
Slow Flow
Perfect for the beginner and advanced yogi alike who is looking to tap into sensation in a sustainable way. Simplified sequences with clear instruction gives you more time to set up, explore and find the version of the shape that's right for you, while maintaining a sense of movement and flow between shapes. Props are offered to deepen awareness and expand one’s understanding of their own embodiment. Uniting breath and body, this class offers a nourishing platform to connect with yourself exactly as you are.
-
Gentle Yoga & Thai Massage
This yoga experience is designed to slow it down and offer space to release expectations and remind you that you are not what you produce. Expect gentle movement and supportive restorative postures timed to hands-on Thai Massage assists. Thai Massage is based on opening the energy lines in the body to remove stagnation in the lymph fluid and increase healthy blood flow. With gentle pressure, assists come in the form of palming the body in a rocking motion. It is based on the understanding of "metta" which translates to loving kindness, so the giver channels this energy for the receiver.
-
Slow Yoga & Breathwork
Slow Yoga & Breathwork combines slow, intelligently-sequenced movement patterns with an emphasis on exploring different breathing techniques throughout. Within the arc of class, students can expect to move beyond the mold of a typical Vinyasa class with longer, deeper holds as well as softer moments that layer on the breath. Pranayama (breathwork) is one tool to invite attention inward as you build capacity and depth; it is the thread that ties this class together. Class will offer modifications and variations with a focus on self-expression and self-exploration; everything is optional and choice is a priority.
