Class Descriptions
-
A steady, intentional vinyasa-style class designed to build strength, mobility, and presence. Breath leads movement in a way that feels accessible, whether you're beginning, returning to yoga, or practicing regularly.
Expect a balanced, grounded flow with space to land, move, and reset.
Best for: All levels
-
A slower-paced yoga class designed to improve mobility, balance, strength, and flexibility in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
Perfect for beginners, active older adults, students returning to movement after a break, or anyone seeking a gentler approach to yoga. You'll move mindfully through simple postures, practice breathing techniques, and build confidence on the mat while honoring your body's unique needs. Regular gentle yoga practice can help improve balance, mobility, flexibility, and overall well-being.
No previous yoga experience is required.
-
A more dynamic and layered flow that builds heat through creative sequencing and breath-led transitions. This class invites focus, stamina, and curiosity in movement while staying rooted in alignment and awareness. The pace is designed to keep you engaged and challenged.
Best for: Students with some yoga experience who enjoy a stronger, more continuous flow with opportunities to practice more challenging poses.
-
Restorative, non-strenuous class for stress relief, recovery, and deep unwinding.
The challenge is in the stillness in this class, which asks you to let go of "doing" and drop into "being." Class may include breathwork, meditation, and the use of props for support and comfort as we find restorative poses.
This class will activate your parasympathetic nervous system (the Rest & Digest function), helping to lower cortisol, reduce muscular tension, and improve recovery, digestion, and sleep quality.
Expect calm candlelight and chill vibes.
Best for: Anyone who needs to unwind, slow down, and let go of tension.
-
Designed for stiff bodies and busy lives, this class focuses on gentle, effective stretches to improve flexibility, ease tension, and increase mobility. Perfect for anyone feeling tight from stress, workouts, sitting, or everyday life, you’ll leave feeling looser, lighter, and more at ease in your body, all in just 30 minutes. Get loose and get on with your day.
Best for: Anyone & Everyone
-
Build strength, stability, and body awareness through controlled, low-impact movement. This class focuses on core strength, posture, balance, and flexibility using classic Pilates exercises performed on the mat.
Best for: All levels, with modifications and progressions offered throughout class. Do expect some challenging moments as you use muscles you may not know you have!
