Yoga, Pilates, and Tai Chi

Intermediate Yoga:  A more strenuous yoga series systematically designed to further your yoga experience.  Those who are comfortable with our yoga classes are encouraged to take this next step for a greater challenge.

Gentle Yoga:
This prana yoga is a dynamic blend of breath, postures, and still-mind.  The union of these Yogic Principles is considered as the highest form of purification and self-discipline covering mind, body and spirit.  This style of Yoga is a true, pure experience of ancient yogic principles and is great for stress relief and mindful meditation.

Soul Flow Yoga:
This class focuses on improving the physical components that contribute to lifelong health, happiness and well-being: posture alignment, flexibility, strength and relaxation. Based on Kripalu's methodology, students will explore strategies which will help them integrate what they learn in class throughout their daily activities. One session a month is dedicated to mindful movement, which stretches students beyond the traditional poses through fluid and expressive inquiry. This class is appropriate for all body types, ages and skill levels.

Flow Yoga:
  Flow yoga is an open system in which many other styles are easily incorporated. The intention is careful and deliberate placement of the body in relation to the mind and the breath. The flow experienced in class can arise in the body as a powerful yet graceful yoga practice infused with strength, breath and beauty or it can flow softly and quietly leading the student through an intuitive movement-based meditation.


Restorative Yoga: Using body postures, breathing technique, and meditation, this class concentrates on physical health and mental well-being. This gentle class is ideal for beginners.

Restorative Yoga (with Sati): Restorative yoga is often referred to as "active relaxation" and "restful yoga". Rest is different than sleep, conscious rest is in fact a form of meditation. One can be actively restful to reduce stress and experience profound bliss. Restorative yoga involves restful positions that activate the parasympathetic nervous system which stimulates the immune system and promotes health of the endocrine system. The use of inverted poses rearranges hormones and lowers blood pressure, as well as counter-balances the day-long effects of gravity on the body. Using basic props and hands on assistance, Sati will guide you through a handful of relaxing postures also engaging a deeply meditative state which can rejuvenate, realign, and renew your spririt and body.
