Class Descriptions
Evening Flow Yoga is comparable to Flow Yoga but dialed down a notch honoring individuals’ energetic levels at the end of the day. This class allows you to arrive and enjoy quiet stillness, move the body and burn off excess energy, and wind down to a deeper state of relaxation as you prepare for your evening.
This class is appropriate for all beings with some prior experience. Vinyasa Flow
yoga emphasizes the sequential movement between postures, coordinated
with and guided by deliberate breath. This class moves from pose to pose with each held for no more than five to eight breaths. Expect a balanced class of forward ending, twists, backbends with opportunity for inversions. In this class, modifications are offered as well as invitations to deeper versions of the postures.
Foundations of Flow is an excellent class for beginners new to vinyasa or experienced practitioners looking to explore the foundational poses. It improves flexibility and strength, while reducing stress. The pace of the class is lower than our regular flow class and allows for more time to modify and study the poses and alignment.
This class will bring brightness into your mind, body and soul. We will incorporate breath-work and some TCM techniques to revitalize and restore. This class will be accessible for all levels. Here is to a bright and shiny YOU!

Pre- & Postnatal yoga is appropriate for those new to yoga, as well as the experienced practitioner. All trimesters welcome as well as postpartum.

Yin yoga is a slower, deeper, more inward-turning style of yoga. While you won’t get a cardiovascular workout from this class, you will still need to focus, challenge yourself, and lean into more internal body and mind work.
