Class Descriptions

Ashtanga Hip Opening - Our Ashtanga Hip Opening class will stretch and open the hips, groins and pelvic region to decrease tightness and release energy. Hip opening poses are very beneficial to practice, especially for athletes and those who sit at a desk all day. We will begin each session with Sun Salutations then explore various asanas to create stability in the thighbones, hipbones and the sacrum. Basic knowledge of yoga is recommended.

Ashtanga Level 2-3 - This progressive practice combines postures, breath and movement to stretch, strengthen and cleanse the body, while focusing and calming the mind. An invigorating practice, Ashtanga Yoga draws on strength and endurance and the Primary Series is repeated in sequence and continual flow. This class is suitable for intermediate to advanced levels. Come enjoy the challenge of exploring your edge and the pleasure of revitalizing your body, mind, and spirit!

Beginner Basics - In this class, we will introduce the yoga practice through Sun Salutations, breathing exercises and a breakdown of some of the most common asanas (postures) utilizing strength, props and breath. It is a slower paced class and students are welcome to ask questions about postures that may be more difficult for them. Each class will be different depending on the needs and levels of the students, and some days there may be more explanation in class than actual movement. This class is perfect for absolute beginners, as well as experienced practitioners looking to deepen their practice.

Community Classes - Offered at a substantial discount to the community, each class will vary based on instructor's personality and style. Our intention is to make yoga affordable to everyone. Cost is $7 per person, cash only.

Flow & Let Go - For all levels. Cultivate self-awareness by awakening the breath, promoting circulation, creating strength, and achieving balance with 45 minutes of dynamic vinyasa yoga sequences that inspire you to play with your edge. Wind down with blissful yin and restorative yoga to melt layers of stress, soothe the nervous system, clear the mind, and lift the spirit.

Hatha Flow - Anusara Principles of Alignment - This class focuses on one or two areas of alignment each week in strength building hatha yoga postures. Poses, or asanas, are coordinated with the breath and woven together with sun salutations. Not only is emphasis placed on the physical structures and fundamentals of asanas, but also a cultivation of awareness and consciousness in the mind and heart is pursued. The balanced style of this class will send you off feeling simultaneously calmer and stronger than when you first stepped through the door. Appropriate for all levels.

Introduction to Ashtanga Yoga - Learn the foundation of Ashtanga Yoga during this 90-minute session. Students will develop a basic understanding of the philosophy behind Ashtanga yoga. They will be introduced to breath (pranayama), Sun Salutations, the standing sequence and some seated poses (asanas). This class is designed for students new to yoga or to the Ashtanga system and is the foundation for a safe and conscious practice.

Power Hour - This one hour session focuses on poses that build strength and develop the core. Using mindfully sequenced asanas and attentive breathwork, we will explore Vinyasa and Power yoga including Sun Salutations, standing sequence, seated poses, backbends and closing sequence. Suitable for students with previous yoga experience.

Slow Power Flow - Suitable for all levels, this class moves a bit slower than a Flow class to allow more time for entering and experiencing the pose. We will utilize breath and movement to focus on internal awareness and physical alignment.

Spirited Vinyasa - Each class has elements of Vinyasa flow with intelligent sequencing and a full spectrum of poses for all levels. As we move through the practice, there are challenges and rests and opportunities to keep "checking in" on the connections while ultimately, we establish new connections with the inherent inner teacher.

Vinyasa Flow - Designed to realign the body and calm the mind, vinyasa flow yoga integrates a sequence of breath-synchronized movements to transition between sustained postures. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned yogi, this class will help you build endurance, flexibility, strength, and mindfulness. You will practice postures that will bring you home to your body so you can release what is tight and expand what has become contracted.

Yoga Basics & Beyond - For all levels of experience. Guided poses at a basic level with invitations to challenge yourself beyond. All students are encouraged to work within their level of experience without judgment.
