Our Classes

+ Mixed Level Vinyasa Flow

Mixed Level Vinyasa is a smooth 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, physically and mentally, through a mindfulness practice of moment to moment awareness without judgement or expectation. The teacher will give modifications to support newer students, as well as options to increase intensity for more seasoned practitioners. If you are newer to yoga we recommend taking a couple Foundations or Gentle classes first to help you feel more comfortable with the poses and transitions.

+ Form & Flow

This class is an education in the proper alignment and anatomy of yoga postures. Proper alignment ignites freedom to explore the breath and the body. Students will be guided through challenging sequences, creating a fluidity in the practice while exploring form and breath. All levels of students are welcome and modifications will be given to ensure that everyone is able to participate.

+ Foundations of Yoga

In our beginners class, you'll learn the foundations of a yoga practice, including basic yoga postures, breathing, yoga philosophy, and mindfulness. Class is designed for those brand new to yoga or current students who want to return to the basics of the practice. The class is guided with kindness and compassion at a slower pace, allowing time to move in and out of practices to build comfort, stability and confidence. The Foundations class is great for students interested in learning something new or exploring new connections to your mind and body.

+ GENTLE YOGA Flow

This class incorporates gentle grounded movement, restorative poses, mindful breathing, and guided relaxation. Students have the opportunity to slow down, delve deeper into poses, and release tension from body and mind. This is a great class to prepare for meditation or a good night’s sleep, or as a recharge in the middle of your day! Open to all levels and those new to yoga.

+ YIN YOGA

Yin is a slow-paced style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time, typically 3-5 minutes. 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 Flow

Restorative is a slow grounded class that focuses on rest and relaxation. The class comprises 4-5 poses held from anywhere between 5-10 minutes each. 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. Please note that we cannot provide props at the moment so you must bring your own to class. At minimum you need 1 yoga bolster, 2 blocks, and 2 blankets. It's even better if you have a yoga strap, an eye pillow, a second bolster, and extra blankets.

+ 20-minute meditation

+ DYNAMIC HATHA FLOW

This mixed-level class is a blend of different styles of yoga, including Katonah and Kundalini. It is a strong practice peppered with gentle openings to create balance and fluidity. We work to become more skillful in our asana, focusing on safe alignment, orienting our bodies by keeping the architecture sound. The practice is great to increase strength, agility and grace, not only in our bodies but also in our minds/thoughts and even the way we breathe.

+ Flow Steady

A marriage of the strong, yang Vinyasa Yoga with the receptive Yin Yoga, the first half of class class comprises active, yet grounding sun salutations and standing flows to enliven the body and chase away fatigue. The Yin half of class offers passive, seated and supine poses that are held between 2 – 7 minutes to help stretch connective tissue around the joints and access the deeper layers of fascia. The blend of fast followed by slow movement helps to bring balance into the body and mind.

+ Mindful Flow

This class stems from a vinyasa practice and follows sequencing to activate the entire being from root to crown! Class is designed to build your relationship to the self, physically and mentally, through a mindfulness practice of moment to moment awareness without judgement or expectation. Each class evolves and builds on poses to create a fun, fluid and creative flow that often works through a theme and peak pose. Deeply mindful of the full 8 limbed practice of yoga, expect inspiration and encouragement to view your individual practice as part of your practice of living, not just your exercise regime. All practitioners are welcome! However, if you are newer to yoga we recommend taking a couple Foundations or Gentle classes first to help you feel more comfortable with the poses and transitions.

+ Prenatal Yoga

Practicing prenatal yoga is associated with a range of physical and mental health benefits for expectant mothers, including boosting strength, flexibility and balance, easing pregnancy-related discomforts, enhancing relaxation and sleep, and fostering a deeper connection between Mom and Baby, while creating a close community of expectant mamas. Join other mothers-to-be in a mindful practice of gentle yoga postures, breathing techniques, and meditation practices that will help you prepare for labor, childbirth, and motherhood. No previous experience with yoga or meditation necessary. Women at all stages of pregnancy are welcome.

+ Yoga Nidra

Considered the highest practice of self care, Yoga Nidra translates to "sleep with awareness," and is beneficial on many levels, allowing us to rest in peace and supreme stillness that ushers in relaxation, healing and even manifestation. The practice is usually done laying down, using props to support the body so that you can become comfortable and still. You will then be guided through the Yoga Nidra and only need to follow the teacher’s voice with your awareness. No prior yoga experience necessary.
