Beginners Yoga
For beginners or those wanting to go back to the basics. Postures will be broken down for a deeper understanding of alignment. Students will be given opportunity to explore within each pose and modify as need be. This class will offer a more thoughtful approach while providing deeper knowledge of the foundational postures of yoga.
Centered & Strong
Strengthen and tone with Bootcamp style instruction followed by the delicious lengthening benefits of yoga with, of course, a well deserved Savasana at the end of practice.
Flow & Restore
Enjoy the best of both worlds! This class begins with an energizing flow that will warm your whole body in preparation for deep release and restoration in the second half of your class. Great for someone who is looking to strengthen and tone but can also appreciate the ability to quiet the mind and soothe the body in fully supported holds.
Gentle & Restorative
A gentle start to the practice with light movement and stretching. Deep relaxation in the body is created through the use of props while the mind becomes quiet through guided meditation. An excellent practice in times of high stress or limited mobility.

Hips & Hamstrings
A relaxed hatha style practice that incorporates props (including Tune Up balls) to gently release muscles and fascia in the hips and hamstrings. Tight hip flexors and hamstrings can contribute to lower back pain and stiffness, so targeting these muscle groups is a great way to help alleviate these symptoms. This class is great if you are a runner, hiker, or even sit all day!
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow links body movement and breath together to awaken energy or prana and create strength in the whole body. Sun Salutations or Vinyasa's are used to link postures and maintain heat in the body. Standing postures, balancing, backbends, hips, core and inversions may be offered in these classes. This class is open to all levels as modifications are always made available for a safe and enjoyable practice.
Mindful Flow
A gentle therapeutic practice designed to leave you feeling good in your body. Movement is led by breath and curated to build awareness of the mind/body connection. This practice will bring you a sense of vibrant aliveness in mind, body & spirit while awakening a sense of connectedness and peace.
Myofascial Yoga with the Tune-Up Balls
This class involves a combination of rolling and light stretching to help repair 'bound/tight’ tissues in the body, helping to restore range of motion and decrease fascial resistance, enabling you to move more freely. As we repeat the same movements though life we create different holding patterns. This class gives you the opportunity to explore and open different areas of your body that stretching alone cannot get to.
This accessible class is for everyone. You will leave feeling like you just had a 60 minute massage!

A Power Flow sequence will be designed to link body movement and breath together to awaken energy or prana and create strength in the whole body. Sun Salutations or "Vinyasas" are used to maintain heat in the body. Standing postures may include balancing, back bends, hips, core and inversions. Modifications are always made available for a safe and inspiring practice for every body in attendance.
Yin
Move into stillness. This class features long held static poses that target the joints and connective tissues of the body, helping to restore hydration and mobility in the fascial web, and stimulate the energetic meridians of the subtle body. Yin Yoga is a deep, quiet and contemplative practice that promotes body awareness, enhances meditation, and encourages the release of physical, emotional and mental tension.
Yin and Lymph
Suffering from sluggish lymph? This class features all of the amazing benefits of Yin Yoga, with the addition of specialized movements to improve the circulation and drainage of the lymphatic system, a vital component of your immune system. We will incorporate small rhythmic movements as we rebound and unwind from our long held static yin poses.
