Anusara-inspired Yoga®
A spiritually oriented, life-affirming class in which Universal Principles of Alignment™ are integrated into poses and sequences that are modified to accommodate any level of student.  A hatha yoga system that unifies Universal Principles of Alignment™ with a non-dual Tantric philosophy that is epitomized by a "celebration of the heart". By saying “yes” to the whole magical spectrum of life, It is a willingness to be aware of all parts of ourselves-the light and the dark, the full rainbow of sensation, perception, emotion, and thought.

Yin Yoga

to increase flexibility with focus on the hips, pelvis, lower spine and lots
of gentle breathing. --A way for both beginning and advanced students to
start the week at a peaceful pace.

Gentle Yoga
Focusing on proper alignment (what works best for your body), this relaxing class will have you holding traditional Hatha yoga poses a bit longer in a slow-flowing style. Using Kripalu-inspired techniques, each class will end with a long savasana (final relaxation) and meditations from a variety of inspiring sources. A wonderful practice for opening your body, quieting your mind and renewing your spirit.

“Yum” Yoga

Perfect for those new to yoga, those easing back into yoga, or for whoever just needs a day to practice gently. This is "yum" yoga, not "yikes" yoga, and it will leave you sighing with contentment. We'll do some asana, a few restorative poses, and some breathing practices. Great way to restore yourself to balance!

Mommy & Me Yoga

(babies up to crawling)
This class offers a welcoming environment for new mothers to care for themselves and connect with their bodies, their babies, and other moms.

We’ll practice yoga poses accessible to all levels, while paying special attention to a new mom’s requests — chest openers, abdominal strengtheners, and poses to include your little one. Please bring whatever you need to make your baby comfortable (toys, pacifier, bottles, diapers, blanket, etc.)

Hot Core Flow

Get ready to rock out!  The temperature will be slightly turned up in this class, but students will also focus on using their breath to create heat that will loosen the muscles and energize your poses.  We will learn a new flow series each month.  As the month continues, we'll become especially mindful on how our inner strength is incorporated in our practice.

Sunrise Yoga

Beginning the day with yoga, Kula (community), and intention is a wonderful way to bring calmness, strength, joy, grace and presence into your life.

This class is a combination of intention, joy, spirituality, psychology, healing, asanas and yogic philosophy.
