Classes
Morning Slow Flow | Open
Need to clear and center your mind for the day? This class allows you to wake up the body and gently move through each fiber of your being. We will begin with a gentle warm up, allowing the body to accept all the practice has to offer. We will transition into a wakeful vinyasa practice to help our bodies prepare for the day. Classes will vary in focus between standing, twisting, hip opening, and back bending asanas. While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Breath Flow | Open
Prana means "breath" or "life force", while Ayama translates as "to extend or draw out." Together, the two translate to "breath extension or control". The focus of the breath, or pranayama, is integral to our yoga practice. In this breath flow class, we will vary from posture to posture with the focus being on the power of the breath. Various types of pranayama will be used in this class to help warm, cool, calm, or excite the body depending on the chosen asana or flow. Guidance will be offered for each type of breath and asana performed. While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Restorative | Open
Restorative yoga is one of the best practices of yoga! It is the perfect way to allow the body to reset to its natural state of blissful being. We will find relaxing & restorative yoga asanas with the support of lots of props: blankets, bolsters, and blocks. Modifications will be offered for all postures to make every pose accessible to everyBODY. This class is open to students of all levels, even new yogis!

In our new Intro to Intermediate class, we will begin to explore more intermediate postures while offering safe, alternative options to accommodate all yoga bodies. We will follow a vinyasa flow format as we build on to the asanas in difficulty and skill. While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Cool Evening Yin | Open
This class will calm the mind and cool the body with the deep, meditative practice of Yin Yoga. While the mind settles down, stretches are performed that are slow, deep, & long. We will hold poses longer so the connective tissues lengthen gently, allowing for greater movement in our joints and muscles, helping to generate greater flexibility in our bodies. As our muscles relax, the fascia of the body begins to loosen and lengthen as well, resulting in optimal We will end with a blissful savasana. This class is open to students of all levels, even new yogis!
A.M. Power Flow | Open
Enjoy a more athletic approach to yoga with a faster pace and challenging sequence that builds heat, stamina, lean muscle mass, and increased flexibility. Non-traditional music is used during this practice to bring more energy to the sequences. This yoga practice is at a quick pace, 1-3 breaths per pose, so you should have an established practice. Cardio and strength training is incorporated throughout. Classes will follow a four-week interval schedule that will include core, leg, arm, and back strength. Embrace your inner power and build your strength! While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Grounded Earth Flow | Open
This class will be based around the use of essential oils, so please be aware that any sensitivities to certain types of oils should be considered before attending this class. Class will begin with the use of a grounding oil to help focus and ground the body for practice. As we begin to flow, a more invigorating oil will be offered to enhance our mind/body awareness as we energetically move through practice. Transitioning to cool down, an aligning and balancing oil will be offered to release the body into more relaxing postures. For savasana and mediation, a harmonious and meditative oil will be used to bring our senses to peace. All oils used during each practice will compliment each other for a well-rounded pleasantry of the senses. We will use Simply Earth oils for this practice, as they are of high quality and 100% pure! While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Yang II Yin | Open
This class is a sweet blend of flow and yin. The first half of class uses a breath-based vinyasa flow to build strength and flexibility, challenging your balance and concentration, and harnessing that energy to promote inner stillness and peace. The other half of class finds you down on the mat holding yin poses for longer periods of time, targeting the connective tissues of the body to help release deeply stored tension, To end, we will offer a blissful savasana. The two styles together are amazingly transformative. While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.
Flow | Beginner
This flow class builds on the beginner-level alignment class offered each week. We will take the chosen asana and incorporate it into our flow.

As we reach the peak pose, we will flow through it various times, adding on in technique. Props will be used to assist all bodies. Class will transition to a generous cool down, loosening and releasing the body and mind from our physical practice. While it is recommended to partake in the alignment class to deepen your practice and knowledge, it is not required.

Simple postures will primarily be performed on the floor, while occasionally doing easy and gentle standing flows for short periods. The use of props is frequently used. The purpose of gentle yoga is to allow the mind to connect with the body in each breath and each movement in a relaxing and noticeable way. Prenatal yogis are also welcome! This class is open to students of all levels, even new yogis!
Full Corn Moon
Moon Salutations are a flowing yoga practice designed to draw the energy of the body, mind and heart, inward to a more reflective nature honoring the energy of the full moon. This moon in September is called the Corn Moon. This full Moon corresponds with the time of harvesting corn. It is also called the Barley Moon, because it is the time to harvest and thresh the ripened barley.The name is from the old/ classic Farmers Almanac. In this class we will combine the Moon Salutation sequence with mantras, meditations and restorative and yin postures. We will guide you into deep relaxation to clear the mind and calm the soul.

Morning Hatha | Open
Hatha Yoga is the physical practice of yoga. The Sanskrit word 'yoga' means to link, or join together. Linking the deliberate movement of the body to the deliberate movement of the breath is what constitutes Hatha Yoga. In Sanskrit, the word Hatha also means "ha / tha" or "sun / moon". The asana practice is intended to balance these opposites by stretching tight areas, strengthening weak areas, and finding balance & strength. We will work to link the breath with movement as we flow through class. While this is an open level class, open to yogis of all experience levels, if you have never taken yoga before then it is recommended to partake in one of our wonderful beginner level classes first.

Many vinyasa's and intermediate-level postures will be offered, allowing the body to experience a range of strength and flexibility like none other. The room will be heated to 85-88F.
