Breathe & Meditate
This amazing class offers SO MANY beautiful elements of core yogic philosophies -- some gentle movement to arrive in our bodies.

An absolutly perfect concert of philosophy, breath, and turning inward. You'd be surprised how powerful it can be to gain control of breath, to connect with the physiology of breathing, and to embrace the calm.

Restorative
Restorative yoga allows us a much-need opportunity to relax, unwind, de-stress, breathe, and let go. The goal of restorative yoga is deep relaxation and rest that allows the body and mind space and time to heal. It is a nourishing practice that facilitates a shift into the “rest and digest” parasympathetic nervous system. This restorative yoga class will typically consist of a short grounding practice involving body and breath awareness followed by passive yoga postures where the body is supported by props. Each posture will be held for approximately 5-20 minutes.
​

​
Hatha Flow
The intention around this class is to release tension, tightness, and stuckness by bringing awareness to our breath, and listening to our bodies. We will work toward a practice of noticing our emotional body’s response to transition or endured poses. We also infuse a bit of energy and physical body flow alignment, holding longer poses to promote release of long term stresses and tightness. All levels welcome!
​
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga practices using breath to mindfully sustain poses and create space and rest in our deep tissue. We come together in community amidst discomfort in our bodies or otherwise, and support each other by simply showing up and being present to observe sensation and calm the central nervous system; always returning to our breath. Other opportunities in this class may include: energy medicine practice, self-massage, and maybe even have an oracle deck to draw upon your own personal intention for class or the week ahead.
