Vinyasa:
Vinyasa is a yoga practice that links traditional yoga postures with movement and breath. The union creates a class that is flowing, meditative and easily self-modified to create the degree of challenge that is appropriate for you on any given day. New and experienced students practice side by side as teachers design classes that challenge and inspire all levels. Most often there is music accompanying class. schedule
Vinyasa +:
All that a regular vinyasa class is but kicked up a notch. These challenging classes focus on building greater strengthen and flexibility while exploring stronger poses. Through discipline, dedication, practice and patience begin to feel stronger both physically and spiritually. Invite yourself to a practice that calls forth your external and inner strength. Be prepared to break a sweat! schedule
Vinyasa Basics:
Think of a regular Vinyasa class but at a pace that allows for more attention to and explanation and dissection of poses. The flow that is typical of the Vinyass practice will be maintained but at a slightly more easy going speed. Bring your questions and ask for clarification whenever needed. Perfect for beginners and those wanting a less vigorous class. schedule
Free Vinyasa:
Just that... a vinyasa class free of charge. All welcome! schedule
Mindful Vinyasa:
Mindful Vinyasa is distinguished from regular Vinyasa in that it has a slightly slower flow and can emphasize longer holds in some poses. Small movements and adjustments are made moving into and out of postures to warm up the musculature, increase awareness and adjust alignment. Challenge and heightened awareness are created in the focus and maintenance of postures. This class will sharpen your sensitivity to the subtle workings of the body, mind and consciousness and increase you're knowing of how they are all interconnected. schedule

Yin Yoga:
The ultimate in relaxation, this floor-based and deliciously deep class redefines “release.” Most types of yoga are yang in their active, muscle-focused approach to practice.

This class invites you to connect with and open your body in new and unexpected ways. Your yoga practice will thank you. Appropriate for beginners to established practitioners alike. schedule
