Class Descriptions
Please inform your instructor if you are dealing with any injuries or illnesses, and always be mindful to practice within your own healthy boundaries. Honor your limitations and ask questions if you're ever unsure, and always go at the pace of your own full breath (you may go slower or faster than the group, that's ok!).
Flow (aka Vinyasa)
Vinyasa is a style of yoga that matches movements to the pace and transitions of the breath. You're encouraged to breathe fully and deeply as we flow through warm ups, sun salutes, standing & balance poses, inversions, twists, and floor work, followed by a nurturing savasana to seal your practice.
This style may move a bit more than a Slow Flow class, but is still adaptable to all abilities. Please be encouraged to do what works for you. Props encouraged! Class ends with an optional cold lavender towel, and will always include a nurturing resting pose ("Savasana") to seal your practice.
***In our "Radiant Flow" we turn the heat up to 95 degrees.

Flow & Barre
Warm-up your body and tune into your breath on your mat with a peaceful vinyasa flow to start class, then move to the bar for low-impact strengthening.
Build long, lean muscle using small, isolated movements to target specific muscle groups to bring noticeable change in your first session. The isolated and repetitive movements in Barre are great for those with joint issues or who are looking for low-impact movement, or anyone seeking strong + long muscles like you find in the bodies of those who perform Ballet (without the damage to your joints!).
According to WebMD: "[Barre] classes will improve your balance, build strength, make you more flexible, burn calories, and improve stability through a stronger core. As you get more comfortable and fit, you can ramp up the intensity by adding weights and more challenging moves."

Gentle Flow & Yin
Slow, mindful transitions to give you time to find your way to each place without strain. This class will start with a gentle warm up and mindful movement, and will ease into longer restorative postures, before wrapping up with a blissful savasana.
Note: it is encouraged to always practice in a way that serves you, and you might take what you learn in Gentle Flow into other classes. You NEVER have to "keep up" or do what the class is doing. Gentle Flow teaches us to truly honor our bodies so we can enjoy living in them longer.

Power Flow
Power Flow takes you on a spiritual and physical journey that combines continuous simple yoga movements with cardio, calisthenics, and beat-pumping lyrical music. This class will get your endorphins rushing and leave you feeling sweaty, energized, and strong.
Radiant Flow
This 95F hot vinyasa style matches movements to the pace and transitions of the breath. You're encouraged to breathe fully and deeply as we flow through warm ups, sun salutes, standing & balance poses, inversions, twists, and floor work, followed by a nurturing savasana to seal your practice.
Please be encouraged to do what works for you. Props encouraged!
Class ends with an optional cold lavender towel, and will always include a nurturing resting pose ("Savasana") to seal your practice.
PS - No shame in stepping out of the room as needed!

Restorative
Long-resting fully-supported postures on the floor (no standing) with the intention of releasing tension and allowing the body to fully let go. We use props to support the body so we can find optimal alignment, without going past our healthy range-of-motion.
Aroma Restorative includes an aroma spray, aroma cotton ball and an optional cold aroma towel.
**Please use pillowcase when using our bolsters.**

Slow Flow
This class matches movements to the pace and transitions of the breath, like Flow/Vinyasa, while giving time to pause in poses for greater intention and awareness. You're encouraged to breathe fully and deeply as we move slow-like-honey through warm ups, sun salutes, balancing poses, inversions, twists, and floor work, followed by a nurturing savasana to seal your practice.
Slow Flow invites fuller exhales, longer holds, and added mindfulness in transitions, plus more opportunity to give anatomy and safety cueing for a more stable and beneficial practice.

Slow & Strong
Similar to Slow Flow, without the breath-paced flow, giving greater focus on discovering and building strength in the muscles and mind. Postures may (always optionally) be held for up to one minute.
