Descriptions

Vinyasa Flow. A dynamic and spirit-lifting class in the Kripalu-style. Continuous breath and body flows (vinyasa) will be balanced with sustained postures (asanas), with a focus on building strength and fluidity. Students will be guided in breathwork (pranayama) and meditation-in-motion to access inner energy and increase concentration. Relaxation (savasana) and meditation will support integration at the end of class. This is an intermediate class; previous yoga experience is helpful.

Gentle Yoga. A calming and supportive class in the Kripalu-style. This class includes detailed instruction on yoga postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama), as well as an introduction to meditation and yoga philosophy. Learn to tap into your natural ease and allow yoga to support your daily life. This is a gentle class; perfect for beginners, individuals healing injuries and advanced students who want to slow down.

Prepare. Wear comfortable clothing; layers are helpful as your body temperature will change over the course of class. Bring a personal yoga mat, if you have one. (The studio has mats and other props to borrow as well. You are encouraged to buy a mat.) Bring water in a closed container if you’d like. Please arrive 5-10 minutes to set up your mat and settle in. New students kindly arrive early to fill out a registration card.

PRIVATE LESSONS. Explore yoga for the first time or deepen your practice during one-on-one sessions. Sliding scale: $50-80/hour. By appointment.
