Schedule
  • DescripA deeply grounding, floor-based practice with long-held poses designed to hydrate connective tissue and calm the nervous system. Classes may include breathwork, meditation, and extended moments of stillness. Ideal for stress relief, recovery, and nervous system reset.

  • DeA supportive, slower-paced class focused on accessibility, mindful strength, and intentional movement. Expect clear alignment cues, unrushed transitions, and time to feel each pose. Ideal for beginners, those returning to practice, or anyone wanting calm, steady movement without intensity.

  • A balanced, non-heated vinyasa class blending strength, mobility, and breath. This class offers continuous movement at a moderate pace, with options to explore challenge or ease. Ideal for students who want a well-rounded flow without heat.

  • Flow classes have a moderate pace and intensity with a focus on connecting breath with movement. + Somatics includes slow, small somatic movements that address stress patterns in the body and mind.

  • A dynamic, strength-focused flow that weaves together sustained holds, functional movement, and creative sequencing. Expect to build stability, heat, and confidence while staying connected to breath.

  • A balanced practice that begins with gentle to moderate flowing movement and transitions into longer-held, floor-based yin poses. This class bridges effort and ease, helping the body unwind while the nervous system settles.

  • A steady to moderate-paced vinyasa practiced in a heated room to support circulation, mobility, and deeper muscular release. This class balances effort and ease and is accessible to a wide range of students.

  • A strong, energizing, heat-building practice with continuous movement and athletic sequencing. Designed for students with prior yoga experience who enjoy challenge, sweat, and dynamic transitions.

  • This class sandwiches upbeat, quick-tempo movements between a yoga flow warmup and cool down. By offering many variations for each movement, the class is incredibly inclusive, whether this is your first H.I.I.T. class or you're a regular to cardio training. This class is a wonderful opportunity to start building up your cardio stamina with low impact movements and a playful yoga flow.

  • This high paced fusion class blends the controlled, alignment focused principles of Pilates with the muscle strengthening, highrepetition sculpting of barre, with a unique twist. Using props such as PVC pipe, weights, band and ball. The intention is to enhance hip and spine stability, build core and glutestrength, improving balance and mobility, to reduce the risk of injury, helping you move better.

I so appreciate the opportunity to learn from such a great variety of teachers, each one with a different perspective, a different way of helping me see.
