​Happy Hips-ters
Kick off your Sunday with Cristina by moving through an empowering, transformative hip-opener series! Through deep hip-opening postures, you will connect to your foundation, release stagnant energy, and awaken a sense of freedom and flow from within.
​
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga uses breath to mindfully sustain poses, creating spaciousness and deep rest within the body's connective tissues. Come together in community to simply show up, observe sensation, and calm the nervous system by returning again and again to your breath. This practice may also incorporate energy medicine techniques, gentle self-massage, and oracle cards to help you set a personal intention for class or your week ahead.
​
Hatha Flow
This grounding practices focuses on releasing tension, tightness, and stuckness by bringing awareness to breath and body. You’ll explore your emotional responses to transitions and sustained postures while weaving in elements of an alignment-based flow. Expect longer posture holds to promote the release of long-term stress and gunk.
​
Flexy Tuesdays
Ease into your morning with longer-held stretches, gentle movements, and a calm, supportive pace. This class emphasizes diaphragmatic breathing, helping you cultivate spaciousness and a soothing start to your day.​
​
Flow for All
A welcoming, accessible practice designed for every body and every level. This class moves at a gentle, steady pace, blending strengthening postures with mindful stretching to support mobility, balance, and ease. Clear guidance and plenty of modifications are offered throughout, allowing you to tailor each pose to your own needs and experience.
Midday Gentle Flow
Why not break up your day with a gentle lunchtime yoga flow? This 45-minute practice enhances body awareness, range of motion, and overall physical and mental well-being. Amy offers prenatal and postnatal modifications as needed.
​
Breath & Meditation
This class explores the heart of yogic philosophy through intentional breathwork, gentle movement, mudras, and meditation. You’ll dive into the Yamas - principles that shape our awareness in thought, word, and action. Learn to regulate your breath, connect with the physiology of breathing, and experience the profound calm that comes from turning inward.
​
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga invites deep relaxation, rest, and release. This nourishing practice supports the body in shifting into the “rest and digest” parasympathetic state. Class begins with gentle grounding techniques, followed by passive, fully-supported postures held for 5 - 20 minutes. Allow yourself time to unwind, de-stress, and simply be.
​
Candlelight Flow
A calming, slower-paced practice illuminated by candlelight. Move through a blend of traditional Sun Salutations and unique sequences, each paired with cues to help you ease out of poses or explore deeper variations. This class is the perfect way to close your day and reconnect mind and body.
​
Vinyasa Flow
Awaken your body and breath every Friday morning with Rachel’s intentional, strengthening, and energizing flow. Traditional Vinyasa poses are held slightly longer and paced slightly slower, helping you cultivate steadiness, awareness, and strength to carry into the rest of your day.
​
*In preparation for our Winter Solstice 108 Sun Salutations, a Sculpt Yoga Series will be offered during this class time from November 21 - December 12. This is an all-levels practice featuring repetitious strength building exercises to build muscle tone and increase cardiovascular health. No weights necessary!
