- Yoga Classes
Each class is 90 minutes of classical hatha yoga focusing on mindful breathing, postures, deep guided relaxation, and more.
We offer two levels:
- Gentle Hatha: Great for beginners and those with physical limitations. If you lack flexibility, strength, or stamina, try this class. You might also take this class for a slower pace when not in the mood for active or dynamic postures. Yet, “gentle” does not mean easy or sedentary. You may still perspire or need to rest on occasion.
- Standard "All-Levels" Hatha: Considered to be accessible to all who are motivated and whose bodies are free from injury. These classes are more demanding and rigorous, but can accommodate the beginner with props (blocks, blanket, and belt) and rest as needed. However, it is best if you have some level of conditioning. These classes are challenging enough to satisfy intermediate through seasoned practitioners.
No matter which class you choose, you will leave feeling reset, energized and balanced!
- Private YogaSeeking a little privacy? Worried about how you compare with others? Don't be! Let us help.
Sometimes all you need is a private class. Getting personal instruction is a perfect way to address your individual needs at your own pace. It's also a good way to sharpen a growing home practice.
Private classes are great for beginners, or anyone who wants detailed, specialized help in developing their practice. You are welcome to bring a guest, but the focus of the session will be on one client.
