vinyasa classes

Vinyasa, also called “flow yoga,” is a dynamic and evolving style of yoga, wherein the breath leads the body through movement. This open system encourages exploration and creativity, while generating internal heat and intense focus. Expand on classic forms in a safe and supportive environment, and learn to shift from the outside world into a moving meditation. You will build strength and flexibility while you heal and revitalize mind, body, and spirit.

The following vinyasa classes are offered on our regular, weekly schedule. All online classes come with a week of access to the class recording.

vinyasa

All levels vinyasa is is a mixed-level class featuring an energetic, flowing series of interconnected postures synchronized with the breath. Every class is different, and each teacher brings a unique style to the space. Every practice is intended to be a complete experience, leaving you centered, grounded, refreshed. This class is open to all experiences and levels.

breath and stretch

A slow gentle flow (no Chaturanga) focusing on pranayama, stretching. The practice is designed to calm the nerves while stretching, lengthening and releasing stress from the body. We end class in a yummy restorative posture.

deep stretch

Explore longer holds in poses to dive into the less elastic spaces in your body. This practice has a rehabilitative effect on the joints, especially the hips, as well as the lower back and cervical spine, and is created to uncover the flexibility that gives us a sense of ease and lightness in our bodies. Deep Stretch is a wonderful way to step outside of the daily rigors of life and journey to a deep state of relaxation. The class is appropriate for all levels.

guided flow

Slide into your weekend with mindful movement that soothes what needs soothing and energizes what needs energizing. Let go of “getting it done” and “getting it right” and dive into exploration. This class guides you through a carefully sequenced series of postural and breath practices that allows for lots of room to make the flow your own. Turn it up, turn it down as you like — this class is accessible to any level of practitioner. The main challenge is tuning in. Instead of doing the practice, what if you allow the practice to do you?

guided meditation

Pause to sit, breathe, and call in wholeness and connection for all beings. This practice will have no movement component and all are welcome.

lunchtime flow

Fight the mid-afternoon slump with this revitalizing midday practice. The perfect combination of movement and breath, this 60-minute class will reinvigorate your body and mind. Open to all levels, we will incorporate some flow, some stretch, and some relaxation to reset your whole being for a calm and productive afternoon.

yoga nidra

This practice is the anti-hustle.  Engage with (and experience the benefits of) constructive rest. You’ll get pre-recorded content that will give you context for the live practices, which begin with gentle movement and then glide into the guided relaxation practice often called yoga nidra. The slow and gentle physical practice sets the stage for a meditative exploration of the inner landscape. Release muscle tension and fatigue, build resilience in your nervous system — take a journey inward to nourish, refresh, and restore your soul. This class is like giving yourself a big, warm hug.
