Classes Offered:
Fundamentals
A heated, flowing style class appropriate for students who are altogether new to the practice of yoga, as well as for more experienced students who feel they need some educational reinforcement of the fundamental building blocks of the practice. These classes emphasize all of the basic skills necessary to support a student in creating a safe, challenging, enjoyable and successful classroom experience.
All Levels
A heated, flowing style class appropriate for all students. These classes are intended to be highly experiential for the student, combining the warm flow of vinyasa with just enough guidance for the breath and alignment to enhance the experience. These classes are great for “untying your knots” – physically, mentally and emotionally – and reconnecting to your deeper sense of calm and centeredness.
Sadhana
The goal of this class is to introduce the powerful synergy of asana, pranayama (breath work) and meditation. This 2-hour class will be an All-Levels asana class followed by formal instruction and practice in pranayama and meditation.
