Class Descriptions
All of our classes are compassionately and mindfully lead with a focus on movement with the breath. We are offering you an amazing opportunity for growth, health, joy, and being! Keeping our schedule simple and easy to understand is important to us. Please note that the classes listed below are general templates and do not do justice for the amazing experiences awaiting you! From very gentle, all the way through our Dynamic Flow class, we practice breathing, movement, and stillness. We believe in making yoga accessible to EVERYONE. No matter what class you choose, please remember the following:
- YOU know YOU best
- Honor and respect your strengths and limitations as you practice (and all day long!)
- Come with an open mind and open heart
- Let go of judgments and expectations
- Only YOU can keep YOU safe (your teacher is there as a guide and can give safe suggestions, but this is the time to listen to your inner voice and TRUST what it is saying)
- Rest and modify as needed
- When in doubt, ask your teacher (that's why we are here :)
- Breathe
Read below to get a glimpse of what you'll experience!
Gentle Yoga
Just like it sounds! We want this class to be accessible to EVERYONE. A class of gentle flowing movements creating balance, strength, and flexibility is the name of the game. Come one, come all!
Candlelight Yoga
Think Gentle Yoga (see above), but with candles!
Mellow Monkey Yoga
What the heck is this? Yes, I know, it's a class we've never labeled. It's our *signature* practice option. I guess we could say it's "anything goes", but more on the gentle side. Don't get me wrong, we might do some sun salutations! You'll find a friendly balance of Flow (vinyasa) Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Restorative Yoga, and maybe more!
Sunrise Yoga
Yoga in the morning makes me happpyyyyyyyy!!! Yoga in the morning makes me smile! Flow yoga in the early a.m. starts gentle, then builds in intensity as the sun rises. What a way to start the day!
Yoga For Everyone
Similar to "Mellow Monkey Yoga" (see description above), but a little more active. This is a multi-level flow class, with the goal being to offer opportunities for Everyone to find their edge, and to find stillness (sometimes at the same time!). You are always welcome to rest or modify during any class. This one will offer many options for you to "choose your own adventure"! Just come, do some yoga, and have fun!
Go With The Flow Yoga (aka GWTF!)
A personal favorite of those who love an active Vinyasa (flow) practice. In the past, we've called this class "Dynamic Flow", "Vinyasa 2-3", etc. We prefer that you have Flow Yoga experience. There will be some pretty intense options for inversions, arm balances, etc. We want you to feel welcome, AND we want you to listen to your body. Come to class, go with the flow, and see where it takes you. You might surprise yourself!!!
Community Yoga
A community class for anyone to come have access to yoga. A Gentle/All-level class, this class is sometimes taught by our experienced teachers, and sometimes taught by teachers-in-training. This class is free--any donations will be given one of the local charities we support. Just come!
Our Karma Yoga class is ONLY held on the following Sundays: 9/11, 9/25, 10/2, 10/16, 10/30, 11/6, 11/20, 12/4, 12/11
