~ Class Descriptions ~

Gentle ~
An extra slow-paced class. Relaxing and rejuvinating for students who are over 50, have chronic injuries, or have not been active in some time. Also for those who want to use props while learning the basic yoga postures. Sundays 2-3:15

Basic ~
Simple breath/body practice (HA-THA Vinyasa) for beginners and those wanting to reinforce fundamentals.

Basic II ~
For students wth some prior yoga experience, our Basic II classes expand upon basic asanas, as well as proper breathing and alignment. The sequencing of poses is more fluid and challenging, and inversions are introduced.

Vinyasa ~
Vinyasa emphasizes strength, stamina, and mindfulness ~ all with a flow that aligns with the breath. Students practice more advanced poses, deeper backbends, arm balances, and challenging inversions. These classes are suitable for those with at least 5 months of regular yoga practice.

Lunchtime Yoga ~
1 hour Open Vinyasa classes at a discounted rate. Perfect for busy people! Open to all students: Mon & Weds 12-1pm, Tues & Thurs 1-2pm

Ashtanga ~
Ashtanga is a form of Hatha Yoga that uses a powerful sequence of postures known as the Primary Series. Individual attention given with hands-on adjustments in the tradition of Pattabhi Jois. Ashtanga Yoga develops strength, flexibility, and a realignment of the body. Intermediate to advanced levels. Tues 6:30-8pm, Sun 4:30-6:30

Ashtanga Variations ~
This class will open every week in the traditional ashtanga sequence: Sun Salutations & 13 Standing Postures. From there various asana from the different series will be explored. We will close with the traditional closing postures. The basis of the class is the principle that "ashtanga yoga" is a WAY of practice - involving breath, drishti (gaze) and form, that leads to being able to improvise a practice for oneself. All levels are welcome. Saturday 4:00-5:30

Anusara ~
The poses are to be “heart-oriented”, expressed from “inside out”, instead of trying to control the body and mind from the outside. Emphasis is on remembering the spiritual purpose of hatha/vinyasa yoga, including reconnecting with our innate goodness, power, and beauty, and expressing ourselves from that divine place. Fridays 6:30-8pm & Sundays 10-11:30am

Prenatal ~
Yoga postures with pregnancy modifications for moms-to-be. Some prior yoga experience is recommended. Emphasis on alignment and overall body awareness, restorative postures, breathing, and relaxation. All levels. Weds 6:30-7:45pm & Sat 12:30-1:45

Private Lessons ~
In addition to a range of drop-in classes for all levels, we also offer one-on-one private sessions for $85 (24-hour cancellation policy). Please contact us for more information.
