All-Levels Flow incorporates meditation, movement, and breathwork designed to unify the mind and body. Classes will incorporate floor work, standing, and balance postures with vinyasa movements and transitions.

Chakra Yoga

Chakra yoga focuses on exploring one chakra each week. Through a mindful vinyasa yoga flow, we connect with different aspects of our spirit and their relationship to the body. Physical pain is often linked to emotional blockages, and this practice helps you understand your body and uncover those underlying emotional patterns.

Vin to Yin
Beginner Friendly
“A practice of Flow to Stillness”.
The class begins with a sequence of vinyasa asanas, while building heat and energy to transition into longer-held YIN poses to target deeper connective tissue and fascial layers.
This yoga style provides benefits to help relieve restricted mobility, tight adhesions, old injuries and sports related stressors on the musculature system to unravel whilst fascial layers are softened, elongated, and recovered from sports exercises, activities that may have caused muscle fatigue.
The practice promotes relaxation while our emphasis is also on breath work, to deepen the practice and improve kinetic awareness connecting with the body.
Vin Yin Yoga is practiced for all levels and props are used to help modify or deepen the asana, either in Vinyasa or Yin practice.
Yin Yoga
Beginner Friendly
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. Focusing on the fascia and connective tissues in the body, yin can help strengthen the joints, adding stability and balance to the body.
Yoga for Wellness (Chair-Based)
No experience necessary
This chair-based Yoga Class will offer the benefits of our other yoga classes but use a chair as a prop for support, balance, or advancing the pose as appropriate for each student. A series of options are given for each posture to allow students to find the optimal balance between support and challenge to meet them where they are at the moment. This class will incorporate an exploration of alignment, strength, balance, flexibility, breath, and relaxation. All are welcome to this class. No Yoga experience needed.
