Need a moment to find your breath and relax, reduce stress and help you sleep better? Then you NEED Restorative yoga. Restorative yoga is a passive, meditative form of yoga that allows you to focus on your breath while releasing tension in your body. You will hold yummy, feel-good poses for an extended length of time, typically 5 minutes or more. Props are used to support your practice; all props are provided. All are welcome! 

Take some time to enhance your mind-body connection with the soft, flowing movement of yoga. During slow flow you will move with intention from pose to pose using your breath. This is a low impact class that reduces stress and calms the mind. All levels are welcome and encouraged to join. 

Come experience a meditative practice that will slow the mind, while improving range of motion and flexibility. Yin Yoga is the deep stretching and lengthening of the body’s fascia (connective tissues linking bones, muscles and joints). Postures are held for a period of time to find opening and release using props that are provided at the studio. This class is for everyBODY! 

Looking to find balance in your body and mind? In Vinyasa you will find energy, calm the mind, build strength and improve flexibility!

This class is a combination of Vinyasa Yoga and Yin Yoga. For the first half of class you will practice vinyasa (a constant flow of poses using the breath), with low heat. The last half of class the heat will be turned off and you will do Yin (deep stretching). The Vinyasa portion warms the body up and rids your body of excess Prana, or energy. After this, your body is ready to relax and lengthen during the Yin Yoga portion. It is a great combination, and all levels are welcome! 

Want to take your Vinyasa Yoga practice to the next level? Then this fast-paced version of yoga is for you!

The studio is heated to 90 degrees during the whole practice.
