Mixed Level Vinyasa is a practice that flows from one posture to the next with an emphasis on safe alignment, fluidity, and connection to breath. Class is designed to build your relationship to the self, through mindfulness of moment-to-moment awareness without judgment or expectation. The teacher will give modifications to support new students, and options to increase intensity for seasoned practitioners.

Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time. These postures help in stretching connective tissue around the joints like the knees, pelvis, sacrum, spine and help to access the deeper layers of fascia. The long hold times of this practice offer the chance to sit with our emotions and can help us become more resilient to stress.
-
Restorative Yoga is a slow grounded class that focuses on rest and relaxation. Students are supported by props so the body can be comfortable, shifting the nervous system into a “rest and digest” state that is deeply rejuvenating. This practice helps to draw your attention inward, creating a sanctuary from the over-stimulation of daily life.
-
Power flow is a high-energy, advanced level vinyasa practice. In class we move through a vigorous, creative, and high endurance practice concentrating on strength and devotion within the body. If you like to rock out with fun music, challenge yourself with advanced postures and sweat, you will enjoy Power Flow! This class is for students with advanced asana practice. For your safety, please have at least one year of yoga practice experience before trying Power Flow.

In our Chair Yoga class tailored for aging bodies, we offer a gentle and accessible approach to yoga, focusing on promoting mobility, flexibility, and relaxation. Here's what you can expect:
Gentle Movements: Our class emphasizes gentle movements and stretches designed to accommodate the needs of aging bodies. Each pose is adapted to be performed comfortably while seated on a chair or using the chair for support.
Improved Mobility: Through a series of carefully curated chair yoga poses, participants can improve their range of motion, enhancing mobility in joints and muscles. These movements are specifically selected to address common areas of stiffness and tension.

Our Team
TEACHERS OPEN THE DOOR, BUT YOU MUST WALK THROUGH YOURSELF
“Yoga has been such a deep part of my evolution as a human. For someone that was not raised within any one religion, I always yearned for the community that houses of worship offer their communities. I felt compelled to create a space for all people to come and feel at home and welcomed regardless of their religion, race, gender or sexual orientation; a space that can create a container for self inquiry and discovery amongst others who are doing the same.”
