yoga

We embrace all of Patanjali’s 8 Limbs of yoga.

Yoga is more than a physical practice; it is a path of self-growth and spiritual evolution.

To practice only asana, the physical poses typically associated with yoga, is like having two hands yet only using a single finger. Our classes incorporate as many of the 8 Limbs of yoga as possible.  We include dharma talks during which we discuss yoga philosophy; breath work; mindfulness; guided meditation; as well as practices which help turn the senses inward and increase one’s proprioception to be aware of the position and movement of the body.

We offer a wide range of yoga asana classes, from Yoga Nidra (which literally translates to “yoga sleep”) to Vinyasa classes where you will sweat as you flow from pose to pose.  To make your selection of classes easier, we have classified our offerings on a 1 to 10 scale of Yin to Yang – restful to active.

We offer many different styles of yoga which are appropriate for various ages and ability levels.  If you would like assistance in deciding which class is best suited for you, please feel free to contact us for a free fifteen-minute consultation to let us help you choose a class and instructor to suit your needs.

Restorative Yoga with Jackie

This class uses gravity rather than physical effort to passively open the body. Students are supported by bolsters, blankets, and blocks in these restorative poses to release stress and relax deeply. This is combined with gentle yoga & breath work. Come for an evening of relaxation, or a mini-vacation during your week.

This class is open to all ages and levels of flexibility.

Lunar Yoga and Yoga Nidra with Tiare

A peaceful prelude to sleep, this is a very gentle class, perfect for beginners and all levels. Class begins with a moonlight meditation, followed by a gentle, slow-paced flow of moon salutation asana (postures) that can be performed on a mat or seated in a chair.

Class ends with a yoga nidra (yogic sleep) practice to relax the body and unwind the mind for a deeper, more restful slumber.

Gentle Yoga with Jackie

This class uses yoga and breath work to gently release tension and manage pain, all while increasing flexibility. Many of the poses are modified and practiced with the back flat on the mat to maintain a neutral spine, and yet still open the body from head to toe.

Proper modifications can be made to accommodate all ages, body typed, ability levels, and previous injures. Come join us and see how it is possible for everyone to practice yoga.

Great for beginning students or those returning to yoga after illness or injury.

Relax and Roll with Dani

This is a restorative Roll Model Method-based class, focused on the main platforms of the body (hips, shoulders, hands and feet) with different “side quests” each week. Suitable for all-levels, with options for each pose based on individual needs. With the addition of Yoga Tune Up Balls, this class becomes a Roll Model Method style of shining light on the blind spots within our muscles and fascia, releasing the issues within our tissues.

Everybody’s Chair Yoga with Tiare

Chair yoga is excellent for all levels of ability, making yoga accessible and easy to practice any time and anywhere.

Who else can benefit from chair yoga:

  • Desk workers
  • Students/ Teachers
  • Drivers
  • Anybody who doesn’t think that they are flexible enough for yoga

In this class, you will also learn the power of breathwork and mindfulness meditation to reduce stress, improve focus and concentration, increase energy and vitality, and alleviate insomnia. Tiare teaches easy-to-follow actions to build a lifetime foundation of tools for balance, calm and ease in all areas of living: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

Beginning Hatha with Jackie

Hatha Yoga (Ha=Sun, Tha=Moon) is a balanced practice between effort and ease. In this class, we will introduce more common yoga poses (lying down, seated, on all fours, and standing). Precise instructions will be given so students can feel confident taking their practice into other classes where less instruction may be given. We will find effort in stillness, as we hold the poses longer and explore the sensations and placement of the body in space, as opposed to moving quickly from pose to pose. We will help students find appropriate modifications for their body’s needs, using props as necessary.

This class is designed for people who want a moderately active class to increase their strength and flexibility. No previous yoga experience required.

Candy Corn & Kombucha Level 1 Hatha with Meredith

This class has the sweetness of candy corn, bringing us back to basics, allowing for play and exploration, and the comfort of a warm cup of black tea. The focus is on alignment, and breathwork, exploring beginning postures, including the six directions of the spine.

Learn to play, explore, and stretch and strengthen muscles you never knew you had! We will find your version of each posture, allowing you to express yourself more fully. Some postures will be held longer to bypass muscular energy, to get to the fascia, or connective webbing surrounding all the muscles and tissues of the body. This will help you to release tension, and relax.

This class is for all levels, including those just staring out and those who have practiced for a while and want to get back to basics.

Beginning Vinyasa Flow with Jackie

In this class, we use Sun Salutations to link poses together for an active, invigorating session, and progress from learning how to engage our core and move through some of the basic, foundation poses of yoga.

Instruction will focus on learning correct form and how to adjust the poses to meet your personal needs.

This class is designed for people who want a more active class to increase their flexibility and reap the cardio and relaxation benefits of yoga. Some yoga experience is recommended.

Yoga for Stress, Mental Health, Recovery with Kristen

Stress presents itself to us in many different ways.  In this class we work to develop physical, mental, and emotional resilience and self-regulation through yoga, together.  Self-care, mindfulness, somatics and breathing techniques for managing mental health, insomnia, chronic pain, and addiction are highlighted. Variations (from beginner on) are given to promote personal evolution.

Feel Good Flow Level 1-2 Vinyasa with Annie

Yoga for Right Now with Kristen

The only thing that is constant is change.  This class is always evolving to reflect our current needs as humans to give YOU what YOU need in the moment.  Time of the year, common habits (like sitting and scrolling) and conditions (back pain, insomnia etc.) along with current events will be taken into consideration to help you build strength, stability, self-awareness and self-reliance through mindfulness and yoga therapeutics.  Plenty of variations are given which makes this class suitable for those who are still new to yoga (or enjoy a slower pace) and those looking to advance their skills and take on new challenges Right Now.

Restful / Active (7.5/10)

Power Flow Level 1-2 Vinyasa with Annie

This class will flow through a consistent series of poses to quiet the mind, engage the body, and connect with self. Based loosely on the ashtanga series, you can expect Sun Salutations, a Standing Series, Forward Folds, Back Bends, Balance, Integration, and restoration at the end.
