Beginner Basics
New to yoga? Want to learn the basics before jumping into a “regular” class? If so, this class is for you! As a beginner, you will learn the basic alignment principles as we break down fundamental yoga postures and discuss anatomy. We will also explore how our breath and meditation relates to our yoga experience. You will leave this class feeling confident on your yoga mat and ready to try other classes on our schedule. Those with a more advanced practice are always welcome to review the basic alignment cues of the poses.
Slow Flow
A slower paced, all levels class, to cultivate strength, mobility, and balance within a gentle, continuous sequence of postures. Students are encouraged to explore integration of mind, body and breath in each pose and transition. Focus on refining foundation poses and discovery of the individuals most beneficial pose variations. Calm, align and flow for health and vibrancy.
Aligned Vinyasa
Aligning the entire body is essential for reaping the benefits of Vinyasa yoga. This class is a combination of flowing mindfully and holding poses in order to have a deeper understanding of yoga as well as your body, mind & spirit. Students with a newer practice will have time to adjust, learn and flow gracefully. For the more seasoned student, the challenge is to refine and elevate the practice to a new level, increasing clarity, strength, flexibility – all with a smile your face! By allowing our bodies to calm, align and flow we are allowing the same fluidity for our thoughts. Inspiration for everyone with this fun, heartfelt practice! All levels welcome!

FITNESS
Barre and Barre Express
Don’t let the name fool you, this workout requires zero dance experience. Barre is a low-impact, full body conditioning class that helps bring strength, endurance, and balance to the body. Exercises are set to upbeat music and performed both on the mat and at the barre, utilizing a variety of props including small hand weights, resistance bands, yoga blocks, and exercise balls. Through both verbal and visual cues, the instructor leads you through a blend of complex and simple movements to build a class that maintains a consistent energy and pace. Barre movements focus on precise alignment and heavy repetition to burn out the muscles and lengthen muscle fibers. A key benefit of barre exercise is the strengthening of our support muscles that lie close to the core and spine and allow us to balance in our everyday life. These muscles are often neglected and weakened over time in our daily work and social lives. Incorporating barre into your workout routine can help to improve stability, avoid accidents and injuries, and bring more balance and strength to your yoga practice.
We offer both 45 minute (Express) and 1 Hour classes. Expect a different class each session that includes a warm up for the body, as well as exercises to target upper body, back, legs, glutes, abs; commencing with a short cool down and stretch. Class is performed barefoot, but sticky socks are helpful for some (we sell some in the studio!) Class is appropriate for all fitness levels, and the instructor will provide students with both visual and verbal instructions, as well as modifications to be used as necessary. Please bring a water bottle and a mat to class.
Yoga Sculpt
Yoga Sculpt is an ideal combination of strength work, stretching, and an introduction to yoga. Accessible for all levels, this class will warm you up, and move through combinations of yoga movements with light weights, cardio, squats, lunges, core work, HIIT, and planks. These moves will maximize burn, sculpt your muscles, and build strength, all while burning calories. This amazing class is paired with a killer playlist, and you’ll hardly believe how fast an hour passes! Bring a yoga mat, towel, and water.
