Find the right class.

Whether you're new to yoga, returning to your practice, or a seasoned practitioner, we offer a diverse range of classes tailored to your needs. From Vinyasa to Yin, our classes provide opportunities to build strength and flexibility or deepen into a state of rest and renewal.

  • This class blends the fluidity of Vinyasa with a slower pace, allowing for longer holds and deeper exploration of poses. It emphasizes mindfulness, breath awareness, and alignment, integrating meditation and relaxation techniques to support the nervous system. This approach encourages practitioners to move with intention, fostering inner connection and a sense of calm amidst dynamic movement.

  • A yoga class designed to establish a strong base for new or returning practitioners by focusing on essential postures and alignment principles. It features basic poses, with instructors providing detailed guidance on proper alignment to ensure safety and effectiveness. The pace is moderate, allowing participants to explore each posture and its variations while coordinating breath with movement. This class fosters a supportive environment that builds confidence, making it accessible for beginners and experienced practitioners alike who wish to refine their practice.

  • Hatha yoga is a branch of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas) and breath control (pranayama) to promote overall well-being and prepare the body for meditation. It emphasizes a balanced practice with a variety of poses held for longer durations, enhancing flexibility, strength, and balance. Hatha yoga encourages mindfulness by connecting movement with breath and is accessible to practitioners of all levels, making it an excellent foundation for developing a personal yoga practice. Overall, it promotes relaxation and reduces stress while fostering a holistic approach to mind, body, and spirit.

  • A dynamic practice that aims to activate the dormant energy at the base of the spine, known as Kundalini energy. Through a blend of postures (asanas), controlled breathing (pranayama), and meditation, practitioners seek to harness this energy to enhance awareness and foster a deep connection with oneself and the world around them. It focuses on channeling energy through the body's chakras, promoting physical vitality, emotional balance, and inner peace. Suitable for all levels of practitioners. 

  • A Hatha based yoga class that emphasizes mindful movement. Poses are linked together in a gradual, deliberate manner, allowing participants to explore each movement fully while receiving detailed cues for proper alignment. This class style is accessible to practitioners of all levels and encourages modifications to meet individual needs. With its focus on relaxation and deeper stretching, a slow flow class is an excellent choice for stress relief and cultivating a calm mind.

  • A strong and dynamic style of yoga that links breath with movement in a continuous flow of poses. Practitioners coordinate their inhalations and exhalations with transitions between postures, creating a rhythmic practice that enhances strength, flexibility, and endurance. With a focus on creativity and variety, Vinyasa classes often include sequences like sun salutations, making them energizing and accessible for practitioners of all levels. Overall, Vinyasa yoga fosters physical fitness and mindfulness through the harmonious integration of breath and movement.

  • Yin yoga is a slow-paced, meditative style that involves holding passive poses for extended periods, typically three to five minutes or longer. This practice targets deep connective tissues, such as fascia and ligaments, promoting flexibility and joint health. With its emphasis on long holds, Yin yoga encourages mindfulness and introspection, offering restorative benefits that help reduce stress and promote relaxation. Often practiced alongside more dynamic styles, it provides a gentle yet profound way to enhance self-awareness and recovery in the body.
