Yoga Class Descriptions & Levels
- Alignment Flow (Level 1) Greet the day in this class focused to weave movement with breath while still emphasizing key alignment and anatomical positioning. This class takes a light-hearted and playful approach, allowing students to feel safe and comfortable exploring new elements within their bodies and their practice. Inversions and arm balances are often part of this invigorating morning challenge. 60 minutes.
- Hot Vinyasa (Level 2+) This is a challenging Vinyasa class which focuses on deep connections, alignment and breath work that will help you find your inner strength, stability, and clarity. This class is challenging as the heat adds an additional layer of complexity - it is designed for seasoned practitioners. This class is taught in a heated room with added humidity putting the heat index between 105 - 110 degrees. We recommend arriving at least 5 minutes early to acclimate to the heated surroundings. Please bring a towel for your mat and water to keep yourself hydrated. 75 minutes.
- Restorative Yoga (all levels): Restorative applications of poses to strengthen and lengthen muscles, align the spine, hips and shoulders while creating space and relieving tension. This class combines soothing styles of Yoga including Yin in addition to incorporating Yoga massage balls and other props. The intention is to maintain a spacious, healthy and strong body and is safe for anyone with non-acute, moderate joint or low back pain. Class is held in a warm studio. 75 minutes.
- Slow Flow (all levels) This is the class to experience the exhilaration and grounding of a Vinyasa style class. Greet your day in our Slow Flow class. You will heal, detoxify and exhilarate your body and mind while emphasizing movement, balance and intention. You will focus on core strength, balance and flow to build a solid practice. 60 minutes
- Vinyasa (Level 2) This vigorous class will help you find your edge, strengthen your body and stretch your mind to discover what is possible. You will energetically flow between poses and access your inner strength and grace giving you a full-body workout. Come play, challenge and empower yourself! 75 minutes.
- Warm Yin Yoga (all levels): Find the deep connections and release through a series of held poses. While the class is restorative, the longer holds add a layer of challenge for the practitioner. Through longer holds (typically held anywhere from 2-5 minutes) Yin Yoga allows us to work the other half, the deeper tissues of our ligaments, joints and deep fascial networks. This class is suitable for seasoned beginners and advanced practitioners. 60 minutes.
