    Class Descriptions

    vinyasa flow ~ heated/non-heated

     The word “vinyasa” can be translated as “arranging something in a special way,” like yoga poses (asanas) for example. In vinyasa yoga classes, students coordinate movement with breath to flow from one asana to the next.  Vinyasa is also the term used to describe a ​specific ​sequence of asanas (Chaturanga to Upward-Facing Dog to Downward-Facing Dog​)​ commonly used throughout a vinyasa class​. Modifications are offered to make this class enjoyable for all levels. 

    *In heated classes the room is safely heated using infrared heaters and humidity is added. The heat index is monitored to ensure safety.

    yoga and hatha yoga

     This practice promotes physical and mental well-being. Although classical yoga also includes other elements, yoga as practiced in the United States typically emphasizes physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), and meditation (dyana). This class may or may not include the Vinyasa Sequence 

    Suitable for all 

    morning stretch & flow

     Start your day with gentle movement, mindful breathing, and intentional awareness. This accessible yoga class emphasizes ease over effort, helping improve mobility, reduce stress, and cultivate greater balance and well-being. Every practice is welcoming and adaptable, with options offered throughout so you can move in a way that feels right for your body. Whether you're new to yoga or have practiced for years, you'll leave feeling refreshed, grounded, and ready for the day ahead. 

    stationary yoga ~heated/not heated

     Participants will hold each pose for three to five breaths. This gives you more time in each pose to adjust to, and understand, more specific alignment. This practice will give your wrists and shoulders a break because there will be less time spent with your hands on the mat. 

    *In heated classes the room is safely heated using infrared heaters and humidity is added. The heat index is monitored to ensure safety

    Deep Hips; also known as LSD, Long, Slow & Deep,

    Those names can be a bit confusing to say the least! We modified the name to express what we will be getting into, the HIPS and we will move into them deeply and slowly with longer holds. This is a Bryan Kest inspire practice that aids in opening tight hips and releasing tension with the use of props. A seated class that it is well suited for athletes, beginners and experienced Yogis. The hips are emotionally charged, a place where we store some of our deepest vulnerabilities . Perfect for all 

    yin yoga

     The practice of Yin targets the connective tissue of the body, lengthening the muscles of the hips, pelvis and lower spine. Many of the poses are seated, supine, or prone, and are held with the muscle relaxed for at least three to five minutes. This deep practice is gentle yet intense, helping to release tension and practice staying present. Yin complements the more muscularly strenuous styles of yoga. Yin is beginner friendly. 

    restorative yoga

    Restorative yoga is a gentle slow paced class that will lead you through passive stretches where props such as bolsters, blocks, and blankets are used to help support your body as you rest on your mat. A calming, relaxing, and revitalizing practice for the body, mind and spirit. Suitable for all 

    vinyasa flow yoga + myofascial release

    Flow meets Roll 

    Various myofascial tools combined with yoga allow the student to release the fascia to increase both passive and active range of motion, and create greater body awareness.
