Vinyasa Yoga is based on the 8 Limbs of Yoga in Ashtanga.
Vinyasa is an approach to yoga in which you move from one pose directly into the next. There’s a flow to a Vinyasa yoga session, though the specific poses and the pace of the flow vary from one instructor to the next.
You may also hear the term Ashtanga yoga used interchangeably with Vinyasa. While they’re similar in approach, the key difference is that Ashtanga sessions follow the same pattern of poses every time.
Vinyasa, on the other hand, usually moves from one pose to the next at the teacher’s discretion. This transition coordinates with your breathing. It’s done specifically as you exhale or inhale, and it gives you the feeling that your breath is moving your body.
PLUS! We have added OPTIONAL Red Light and
Infrared Therapy for one side of the room.

Kundalini Yoga Or Kriya
+ Sound Healing
KRIYA: Tuesday Evening at 7:30pm
KUNDALINI: Sunday Morning at 11:15am
"Kriya" means action! Kriya is a Himalayan & Kundalini technique designed to create an evolutionary response, expansion, and liberation, by accessing deeper states of meditation and yogic union in the body, mind and soul.
Himalayan Kriya Yoga works to generate energy and conduct electricity throughout the body with the use of specialized movements, mantra, mudras, and pranayama. Practitioners experience healing on a cellular level, bring prana back into flow, and ignite from the inside out!
Kriya is scientifically proven to bring extensive healing to the brain, body and psyche. Himalayan Kriya Yoga draws from the teachings of the Babaji lineage as delivered to Paramahansa Yogananda: an ancient set of practices brought forth for your metamorphosis.
Power Flow
Tuesdays & Thursdays at 6:00am
Fridays & Sundays at 9:00am
Power Flow, also known as Power Vinyasa, is a vigorous and fast-paced style of yoga that emphasizes strength, endurance, and flexibility. Like traditional Vinyasa yoga, it involves linking breath with movement, but it focuses more on building physical power and stamina. Sequences are often more intense, incorporating advanced poses and transitions, and are designed to elevate the heart rate and challenge the practitioner both physically and mentally. Power Flow aims to develop muscle tone, increase energy levels, and improve overall fitness.
Candlelight Yin + Sound Healing
Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 7:30pm
Our 60 minute Unheated Yin class takes place after our Heated Flow Class, Monday , Wednesday ( Classical Yin), & Thursday evening at 7:30pm. When you first walk into class, the room is slightly warm but continues to cool down as the class progresses. For Unheated Yin, we keep the room dimly lit with candlelight to promote a sense of calm and allow you to really focus on your own practice without external distraction. Each class begins with a meditation and breath-work to help restore your vitality. Traditionally, Yin yoga works from the area of the navel to the knees, and the principles of Yin yoga can be applied to any of the body's tissues. However, the primary focus is the lower body because we tend to hold more tension in this area as we age. The poses are sequenced in a non-exhaustive manner (less "flow" and more "static stretching"), each pose (asana) is held for 10-18 breaths (or 2-4 minutes) which results in a deeper, more thorough stretch. This class is less about muscular release, and more about supporting your Yin tissues-- tendons, ligaments, etc.
If you've been sitting at a desk all day, experience body aches due to lifestyle, life weights and don't stretch, have tension, been under stress, want an intentional meditation, are tired but need a good stretch? This class is perfect for you! This class is great for every body!

Ashtanga: Primary Series Improv
Saturday at 8:30am- 9:45am
The Led Half Primary Series guides students half way through the Primary Series of Ashtanga. Focusing on the breath and utilizing drishti (gaze points) for each pose, this dynamic sequence will link breath and movement (Vinyasa Flows find their roots in the Ashtanga lineage). The Half Led Primary offers an excellent opportunity for any student to learn the poses and deepen their practice in a safe, mindful way by offering hands on, gentle assists and focused verbal cues.
More Info:
The Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga is a style of yoga codified and popularized by K. Pattabhi Jois during the 20th century which is often promoted as a modern-day form of classical Indian yoga. Ashtanga means eight limbs or branches, of which asana or physical yoga posture is merely one branch, breath or pranayama is another.
Usually an Ashtanga practice begins with five repetitions of Surya Namaskara A and five repetitions of Surya Namaskara B, followed by a standing sequence. Following this the practitioner begins one of six series, followed by what is called the closing sequence. There are six series, and this class covers the 1st Series are:
-
The Primary series: Yoga Chikitsa, Yoga for Health or Yoga Therapy. This is a powerful practice that tones, cleanses, detoxifies, and purifies the body. Make sure you're properly hydrated and have eaten a light meal at least 2 hours before the practice.

Aerial Yoga: Restorative
Coming soon!!
All Levels Welcome For Restorative Aerial Yoga:
This class focuses on slowing things down, connecting with our body and breath. Staying in each posture and position a bit longer than a regular class being sure to take what you need. Feeling fully supported allows us to go deeper into places we may not otherwise be able to. This class offers a space to decompress, come into alignment and settle into yourself.
Our Aerial Hammocks are professionally installed and rigged.
Each hammock can hold up to 5,000 pounds; 2,000-3,000 pounds with force.
Our yoga is made for EVERY BODY! (with single point, Hammock Silks)
Our 60 minute Aerial Hammock Yoga class is accessible to all ages and all levels. We just ask that you get your doctors permission before hopping into a class. This class offers an authentic yoga practice, accompanied by a soft, sturdy hammock from which we explore, refine, and advance our practice. In this class, you will practice asanas on your mat and in the hammock, often times incorporating both the ground and the hammock at the same time. All of our teachers are professionally trained Aerialists and registered yoga teachers. They will teach you how to use the hammock to defy gravity (or use it to your advantage) to relax and restore, or realign and uplift. Each teacher has a different combination or sequence they will guide you through. Since we only have 5 hammocks, there is plenty of time to interact with our teachers one-on-one and get deeper into the practice both physically and mentally. **This is by far our most popular class and books up quickly! Be sure to book this class using our MINDBODY app or call us during business hours to schedule.
Slow Flow WEDNESDAY AT 5:45PM
Our Slow Flow yoga class is designed to be for all levels of practitioners. Expect to move your body and perhaps build up a steady sweat (“slow” doesn’t necessarily mean easy!) while you synchronize your breath with each movement. This class will slow you down just the right amount to provide both a steadiness of mind and strength of body. It’s a sweet space where softness meets intensity; the perfect practice for someone who wants a step up from restorative or yin, without the full blown vigor of a heated or power flow class. Great for beginners who are just starting to learn the poses! Great for all levels of pratitioners as the postures can be modified or intensified.
