Class Levels

Absolute Beginners: For people who have never practiced or practiced very little and would like to start at the beginning.

All Levels:
These classes are designed to accomodate different levels of practitioners, but generally they’re for people who have been practicing for awhile and are not meant for people who are absolute beginners or for people with injuries or other physical issues.

Beginner/Intermediate:
For students that have been practicing at a beginner level for awhile and would like to move on.

Intermediate:
For students who are ready to move beyond beginner level.

Gentle or Restorative:
These classes are for just about everybody – beginners, or people who have been practicing awhile, but feel like doing a gentle class. These classes are also for people who are recovering from illness or injury, but are not meant for people who are experiencing acute pain.

If you have any questions about which class is right for you, or about the different styles of yoga, please call or email the studio.

Ashtanga Yoga
A dynamic and vigourous (faster pace) form of yoga that builds heat in the body and removes toxins. This "Primary Series" set of postures maximizes strength, concentration and flexibility with breath awareness.

Hatha Yoga
In a Hatha class you can expect to do any variety of asana (postures), pranayama (breathing exercises) and meditation. Classes can range from very slow and gentle, to quite vigorous, depending on the class and the teachers' approach. Most of our Hatha classes are beginner friendly, but if you're not sure please contact the studio.

Gentle/Restorative Hatha
Gentle, supported postures help to restore movement and flexibility. Release tension and quiet your mind as you rest and breathe. This class is suitable for beginners and people who are recovering from illness or injury, but is also open to anyone seeking a gentle, meditative class.

Hatha/Intermediate
Develop strength, stamina and flexibility as more advanced postures and pranayama are introduced. For students who are ready to move beyond Beginner or All levels classes.

Hatha with Meditation
An hour of asana and pranayama ending with 15 minutes of meditation. All levels of practioners are accomodated in a vigorous yoga practice that loosens the body and raises good energy. After relaxation, we practice a different meditation each week, both sound and silent, giving the mind insight into deeper truths about ourselves and life.

Hatha with Kundalini
This class weaves the powerful practices of Kundalini Yoga throughout a hatha class where many asanas are explored. Potent and vigorous!

Hatha Flow
A dynamic exploration of asana and breath. This class will offer a blend of movement and relaxation, effort and surrender.

Kundalini Yoga
"A dynamic blend of postures, breathing, mantra, and meditation, which teach you the art of relaxation, self-healing and elevation. Balancing body and mind enables you to experience the clarity and beauty of your soul. No previous experience required to achieve results with your very first class." - Yogi Bhajan

Meridian Exercises: Part stretching, part meditation, this is a great class for anyone who wants to learn about the Shiatsu meridian system and awaken their inner ki (life force energy). Easily adaptable, these exercises are also beneficial for anyone recovering from illness or injury.
All levels welcome.

Prenatal Yoga: These unique prenatal classes provide safe, simple and effective exercises designed to strengthen and relax your rapidly changing body, preparing you for a conscious childbirth. Join other pregnant women as you strengthen your physical body with yoga, and bring clarity and fearlessness to your mind through meditation.

Vinyasa Flow
A style of yoga known for dynamic, meditative and creative sequences. Flowing classical hatha postures are connected by the breath to move your energy, deepen your breath and increase strength and flexibility. In these classes you will find a ninety-minute sanctuary for your body, mind and spirit. Beginners can build a strong base while more advanced practitioners can deepen their practice.
