This class is specifically designed for those individuals who want to bring movement and flexibility to their bodies in a balanced way.

Gentle Strength & Balance is for those who want to build strength in a gentle way, using basic standing postures and working on proper alignment. Standing balance postures will be heavily focused on in order to build more strength and increase balance.

Some floor work will be done, with comfortable options given to transition from standing down to the floor, but the majority of class will be in standing poses.This class will be designed specifically for those looking to increase strength and balance in a lighter and gentler practice!

Improve strength, focus, balance, flexibility and relaxation. Each class will provide instruction on how to link movement to breath, and focus on safe alignment to set up each pose.

Yin Yoga is designed for slow release of connective tissues and holding patterns in the physical and emotional bodies. Deep stretches are held for several minutes, creating a meditative experience to observe your body and how it responds to these postures over time.

Yin/Yang Yoga starts with an invigorating warm up that is paired with long deep poses in the second part of class.  The beginning of class prepares the body to access deeper into our muscles through poses that we hold for longer durations. The class ends with 10-15 minutes of guided relaxation.

Chair Yoga
Chair Yoga is a great class for those who have less mobility or less range of motion, because it utilizes a chair and other props to support many poses.  This class is suitable for many levels because you can individualize your practice and bring more or less intensity to each pose as it suits you.

Restorative Yoga
Rest and renewal is essential for living well. This class offers space to deeply relax and counter the stress and business of our modern lives. Using props like bolsters, blankets, and the wall, we use gentle, long-held yoga poses and breathing exercises to practice the art of being still in body and mind.

Power Vinyasa Yoga is a high intensity class that will give you a new way to get in your resistance work. Yoga makes a perfect companion for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Yoga can help you develop better a breathing technique while it improves your balance, flexibility, core strength, and endurance.

Yoga Nidra is yogic sleep. You are guided through a relaxation technique starting with body awareness, and methodically working through sensation and imagery. The practice is excellent for those who are in need of deep relaxation and rest, as it is said to be as lasting as 3-4 hours of sleep. Aside from relaxation, the practice can eventually lead to deep inner work on a subconscious level of healing and wellness.
