This slower-paced flow class connects breath with movement. You'll be constantly moving from one pose to the next, without stopping between positions. The teacher guides you through a series of positions that build strength, improve flexibility, and help with balance.
Classes typically start with simple stretches, move into a sequence where you're always in motion, and end with relaxing poses. The teacher gives step-by-step instructions and shows easier or harder options for each position.

- Kundalini: a spiritual practice that involves chanting, meditation, and dynamic movement
- Restorative: a gentle practice that uses props to support the body in passive postures.
