Vinyasa yoga is a creative form of yoga. Yoga poses are linked together with the breath in a flowing sequence. Expect to move, sometimes vigorously, from pose to pose. This practice stimulates and energizes the mind and body through asanas (poses), with focus on the breath. This class will help you to build strength, increase endurance, create flexibility, and release tension.If you appreciate having things a little loose and like to keep moving, this style is definitely worth a try.Heated at 80-85 degrees

This deep and subtle, quiet practice will target the deepest tissues of your body to promote better circulation, flexibility, and greater joint mobility. Expect a series of long-held, deep stretching poses and enjoy the time to ease stress and anxiety and promote stillness of mind and body.The final relaxation includes sound healing, with singing bowls, gong, rain sticks, mantras etc...that will leave you feeling lighter, calmer, and more balanced.

One of the most popular yoga myths is the belief that you need to be flexible before ever setting foot on a mat. The truth is, flexibility isn’t a prerequisite. In fact, a regular yoga practice will actually help you become more flexible over time. Increased flexibility can help decrease the risk of injuries, create a better range of motion of joints, lengthen muscles, improve balance and overall health!Flexibility + mobility is a fun, judgment-free space, suitable for all levels. In this class we will work on different muscle groups and joints each week, using Functional movements, CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations), Kinstretch techniques as well as Myofascial release to improve range of motion and flexibility. Props such as straps, bolsters, blocks, and tennis balls will be used to target specific areas and help ease your body into the poses and stretches. Modifications and options will be offered throughout the class.

Yoga means union, and also union of opposites...effort and ease, strength and flexibility. To find balance in the body, we need both movement and stillness. Flow +Chill is a combination class, starting with a slower paced vinyasa, followed by restorative poses (supported by props). We will flow for half of class to warm the body up, then take the second part of class to stretch, release tension and dive into a deeper state of chill.Some classes might include sound healing, breathwork or meditation.

With a welcoming atmosphere this is the perfect place to take your first class and experience yoga! You will be introduced to basic Hatha yoga poses to start your practice and will find this class both relaxing and enlightening. Always taught by beginner-friendly instructors you will be surrounded by others who are starting out just like you, or for those who prefer to focus on the foundations of the practice and the mechanics of the postures.
