Taught by Isabelle

This class will have its foundations in Hatha Yoga, and will include a blend of standing/seated asanas, emphasis on the breath, meditation, and mindfulness. Held in the evening, this class will provide an opportunity to process one’s emotions from the day through mild to moderately challenging movement and breath, and will end with a slow unwinding to help relax the body, mind, and spirit. You can expect each class to be woven through with the thread of nature, intuition, and curiosity.

Taught by sipra, many times throughout the week

This flagship class is based in the Hatha tradition and the moves are challenging yet simple and accessible to all. Class is open to all new and veteran yoga students, ages 12 to 112. Each class attempts to satisfy the physical and emotional requests of participants, so each class is different. Traditionally yoga was not about a physical workout, nor its physical benefits. While a regular practice strengthens the immune system, prevents disease and corrects many physical and mental health problems while shaping and toning the body, a committed practice actually transforms one in a much deeper way. Learn proper breathing and meditation. Classes are held in a warmed room.

Taught by Veda, Sundays 5:00-6:16 PM and Wednesday 9:30-10:45 AM

What happens in a Yin Yoga class? The purposes of Yin Yoga are to lengthen and align the connective tissues of the body (ligaments, tendons, fascia), and to put a proper stress on the joints. In my classes, you will begin by opening the upper body, and then progress to traditional Yin Yoga poses. These poses are mostly for the lower half of the body, and most are done on the floor. Poses are held for 3-5 minutes (sometimes more!). The use of props is encouraged. In Yin Yoga, everyone’s version of a pose looks a little different than everyone else’s. This is because Yin is more about the sensations from the pose than the appearance of the pose. Each class has a theme. Some days we’ll explore the meridians, or energy lines of the body, some days the chakras, the energy wheels that run up our spines, another time we may delve into yoga philosophy. We always have serious fun, too! Yin Yoga is a great complement to more Yang (vigorous) forms of exercise.

Taught by Kris, Mondays 6:00-7:15 PM

A moderate level class focusing on alignment, holding of postures, and strengthening. Detailed instruction will work toward incorporating breath into yoga postures and finding your edge. More challenging postures and our response to them will be explored.

Taught by Veda, Tuesdays 6:00-7:15 PM

What is Restorative Yoga? Restorative Yoga is a style of yoga devoted to deep rest and relaxation. Stretching and opening may occur, but these benefits are secondary to creating mindfulness and encouraging healing. In an hour long class, you’ll only do 4-5 poses and each is held for a longer period of time. Each pose is supported by any and every prop; whatever helps you to let go completely and find peace. Please join us. It is a great way to balance your more vigorous yoga practices and also our rather hectic modern lives!

Taught by Vandana, First and Third Mondays, 7:30-8:00 PM

Taught by Kris, Fridays 9:30-10:45 AM

Join us Friday morning to explore the breath through different pranayama practices as we travel slowly into Yin poses.

Yin Yoga is a slower-paced, more meditative version of the popular physical and spiritual discipline of yoga. In Yin yoga, the poses are held for a long period of time.
