We've Got the Right Yoga Class for You
All of our yoga classes offer mindful explorations of strength and flexibility. Connect your mind and body through breath and movement. We know that your first yoga class can be a bit discombobulating. You’re asked to listen without looking and to move your body in new ways. (Because trying to keep our minds still is challenging enough!) It’s normal to feel challenged just to be in class and to move smoothly from pose to pose. And the same thing can happen in a new studio, a new yoga class, or with a new teacher. Our teachers pride themselves on creating accessible environments to begin and deepen your yoga practice. Take a look below and reach out to us with any questions!

As you move, the sequencing is designed to ignite movement and harmonize with the wisdom of your subtle body. As a result, this class deepens your mind-body connection and gives you tools to connect with nature's energy. This class has a medium pace and is open to yoga students of all levels.

Tap into your strength, flexibility and balance with slow and subtle movement. Directly observe your experience of breath and changing sensation with a gentle flow and a guided meditation.

Experience a supportive, strong practice while you explore the benefits of yoga.

(This may be due to injury, body type or age.) We incorporate movements that stretch and strengthen your body, plus breathing techniques while using meditation to release stress and calm your mind. Use the wall or chair for support in a few standing poses for your balance practice and strength. We provide chairs to everyone who attends this class.

We select music carefully to stimulate or relax. You leave this class with a feeling of calm awareness.

Interested in Private Lessons?
There are many reasons private lessons might be a good fit for you. Many of our private clients want to address a specific physical need, while others need to work around their full schedules. Some want to be introduced to yoga directly before joining group classes, or simply prefer the smaller setting. If you want to begin but aren’t sure group classes make sense for you, just reach out and we can discuss all of the options!
