This is class is perfect to build a strong foundation, create confidence on your mat, and thrive in your yoga practice on and off the mat.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is designed to embrace stillness in the body to allow for space. It's an accessible yoga practice that explores the inner workings of your mind-body-soul through slow movement and deep stillness. You will be invited to remain in each posture for 2-5 minutes (or longer) to stimulate the deep connective tissues surrounding the joints and ligaments, thereby increasing mobility, stability, and overall vitality.
Yin Yoga postures and sequences are designed specifically to loosen deep energetic stagnations, which will allow for a greater sense of balance, flow, and calm energy. This class is the perfect complement to a more active style of yoga OR a yang lifestyle, plus it's great for beginners and advanced yogis alike!
Mat Pilates
Pilates is a method of movement that trains the body and mind. It builds lean toned muscles while promoting realignment, strength, agility, flexibility, and mind-to-body connections. The exercises in this class require you to engage your whole body.

Energy Flow Yoga
Energy Flow Yoga is a fusion of hatha, vinyasa, qi gong, and a sprinkling of yin from time-to-time. We move with our breath and play our edge finding both strength and flexibility. We move through standing, squatting, twisting, balancing, and reclined postures in class. You are always encouraged to move within your challenge zone, and to honor your body.
This is class is perfect to build a strong foundation and to build onto an established practice. Expect a great playlist, to break a sweat, and to have a laugh or two with our wild and loving community.
Yoga + Qigong For Health
This class is a fusion of Qigong + Yoga. The movements in this practice are mindful, nourishing, simple, yet challenging. We often begin with a Qigong moving warm-up and as class progresses, we find more stillness.
This practice cultivates focus, attention, interest, and a deep sense of ease and harmony.
Chair Yoga
Chair yoga is a wonderful way to build flexibility and strength in all areas of the body. This practice keeps you mobile by opening the spine in all directions, waking up your stabilizing muscles, and teaching you how to use your whole body for daily activities like reaching, standing, and walking.
Yoga promotes circulation, stimulates the digestive system, calms anxiety and lifts despondency, eases joint pain, and decreases inflammation. Great for those suffering from arthritis, vertigo, respiratory issues, poor digestion, and chronic illness, chair yoga is also accessible and adaptable. It even stimulates the brain-body connection by clearing electrical pathways, encouraging the two sides of the brain to communicate with each other, and refreshing the fascia.
Chair yoga is available to everyone—those whose joints, muscles, or balance make bending and kneeling uncomfortable, those in recovery from surgery or illness, and anyone looking for a new way to explore the body.
Flow Yoga
Flow yoga is a class focused on developing the fundamentals of breath-to-movement synchronization. With a focus on building strength and flexibility, this class will refine any yogi’s practice. The balance of breath and body will help you explore a moving meditation on your mat, the benefits of which will be carried into other areas of your life.
Gentle Flow Yoga
This class features a variety of familiar and accessible poses practiced in series, so we can feel the breath flow from one posture to the next.
The practice involves more movement than a fundamentals class, but the poses are still taught with alignment cues and taken at a moderate pace. Modifications are offered and props are encouraged so that everyone can take part in the flow. There is a focus on taking time to let the breath lead the movement, feeling full inhalations and exhalations.
