Ashtanga (Led): This is a challenging, vigorous, flowing led class, consisting of a fixed sequence of poses as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, where we link each movement to the breath.

Beginner Yoga:  For those who are new to yoga or still in their first year of practice. This class focuses on learning correct alignment of the basic poses and how to use the yogic breath to inform the pose. Great for building strength & flexibility while learning how to relax deeply into the practice.

Chanting (FREE):  We will chant one of our chants 108 times which takes about 40 minutes. This is an enjoyable meditation and is also an effective way to learn the chant.  Towards the end of the class we will learn and practice some old favorites.

From the Heart:  A vinyasa class centered on moving with the breath, proper alignment and joy.  This class is suitable for both beginner and more advanced students.  With proper alignment and gentle positive reinforcement, all things are possible.  This class is safe, fun and will move you on your path of being the best you can be.  Begin or improve your practice and enjoy the journey.

Hatha (All Levels):  This class will focus on developing fundamental postures with an emphasis on both alignment and breath.  Sun Salutations will be practiced at the beginning of class.  The pace of the class will be more relaxed and slower than a flow class, allowing time for question and answer.  This class is appropriate for students with a regular, established practice who would like a little more studio time at the end of the weekend.

Iyengar Yoga (Workshops Only): Iyengar Yoga, created by B.K.S. Iyengar, focuses on the structural alignment of the physical body through the development of asanas. It aims to unite the body, mind and spirit for health and well-being. Iyengar Yoga is characterized by great attention to detail, and the use of props such as blocks or chairs to allow beginners and experienced practitioners to find the essence of the pose.

Karma Yoga: David’s end of the week class. Come enjoy a Friday night class on us for only $6.  Our way of saying “Thank you” to the community. All levels welcome.

Kundalini Yoga:  The Yoga of Awareness. It works through postures, breath, chanting, and meditation to clear energy channels.   You can often feel the powerful effects of Kundalini after just a few minutes of practice.

Mysore Ashtanga: Allows the student to practice at their own pace with the teacher's guidance and help. Encourages the building of your own personal practice that follows the Ashtanga system, but fits your yogic needs and abilities. Breath oriented, rigorous, and very exact for students planning to be serious practitioners. However, beginners and first-timers are welcome. This style of yoga can start you off and carry you through your entire yoga journey. 

Slow Deep Stretch (aka Yin Yoga): A relaxed, stretch oriented style of practice that brings us into a deep and pleasurable connection with presence and spaciousness. 

Slow Paced: Yoga asanas (postures) modified for older adults and those needing a slower paced class. All levels, beginners welcome.

Slow Stretch Freestyle: This class takes the essence of Sarah's Thursday afternoon class and looks at the Slow Stretch sequence from a new perspective. You'll learn the basics. You'll learn about the options and choices you have in every pose. From that strong foundation, you'll slowly begin to make your practice your own by mixing up all the variables available to you. Great for beginners and advanced practitioners alike.

Slow Stretch Yoga: Focuses on stretching slowly and deeply into poses that are aimed at increasing flexibility.  Stretches aren't forced but relaxed into.  No need for previous yoga experience and no fear of having to get into those "yoga pretzel poses".  Anyone can do slow stretch yoga and everyone can benefit from it.

Tai Chi for Health and Well-being: Chinese martial art known for its gentle, flowing movements.  Linda teaches Yang short form- consists of 24 movements & emphasizes mind/body awareness.

Vinyasa Flow: This flowing class is challenging, invigorating and fun for both advanced and less experienced students.

Vinyasa Flow, Level II: Begins with sun salutations, followed by standing and seated poses, and emphasizes the breath.  Recommend one year previous practice, but all are welcome!

Yoga with Christie: Taught with detailed “how-to” methods, often using props for support and emphasizing alignment for safety and to maximize benefits from the poses. Precision in alignment provides the means for sending intelligence throughout the body so that students might find the ultimate emancipation of yoga: stilling the turnings of the mind and learning to be at home within themselves. Excellent for beginning, pre-natal, stiff or weaker students. Level 2 requires one year’s experience.

Yoga with Kathy: This class is highly influenced by the Anusara® alignment principles, life affirming philosophy, and heart-oriented teachings. Fun for students who have a regular yoga practice as well as those who are newer to yoga.
