Mom & Baby Yoga This class is a gentle yoga class designed to help new
moms regain muscle tone, abdominal strength, and flexibility, which cultivating a peaceful, loving connection with the baby, and themselves. Postures stretch and strengthen tight muscles, while breath work, and relaxation exercises help students feel
rejuvinated, and refreshed. Mom's (and dad's too) have a chance to interact with the baby during yoga practice, learning potential exercises to do at home. Please bring a receiving blanket for the baby to lie on, and any toys your baby enjoys. Due to the
unpredictability of a baby's schedule, you may arrive up to 15 minutes late and still take class.
Prenatal Yoga
This class is designed to help women find comfort during pregnancy and
prepare them for labor and birth. Physical postures (asanas), meditation
and breath-work (pranayama) help women relax and adjust to the physical,
emotional and mental demands of pregnancy. Yogic philosophy and increased
awareness can be invaluable tools when attending to a new child as well
as mother's own special needs during this challenging time.
Chair Yoga
This is a gentle flowing class, focusing on breath and posture. The students
are seated for most of the class, though some basic standing poses may
be taught. This class is designed for seniors, but it is also ideal for
beginners, people who spend a lot of time sitting at a desk and people
with physical limitations.
Form & Flow
This class will take students through a series of classic yoga postures
(asanas), breathing and relaxation techniques. The emphasis is on holding
steady postures and relaxing between each one by focusing on the breath.
Those trying yoga for the first time as well as those interested in grounding
their current practice are welcome to this rejuvenating, concentration-enhancing
class

Lunchtime Yoga
This class is a one-hour Mixed Levels class for students on the go.
Mixed Levels
Moving meditation. Mixed Levels classes combine the flowing
movements of Vinyasa and Kripalu with the form of Iyengar. Challenging
yet relaxing, a wonderful blend that rejuvenates and opens the body, mind
and spirit.
Mixed Levels Vinyasa
This class moves in a continuous flow, but is less vigorous than the Vinyasa
class. It is suitable for beginners and continuing students.
Prana Vinyasa Flow
Prana Vinyasa Flow yoga is an energetic and creative approach to vinyasa yoga. This dynamic vinyasa flow class will challenge students of all-levels. Through fluid movement, we will strengthen and tone the body, open stiff joints and muscles and promote circulation and centering. A complete range of intensities will be explored as students move through “kramas” or stages of postures. This allows students to work with their current bodily intelligence and then take their practice to the next level.
Sunday Morning Flow
Begin your Sunday morning with a gentle warm-up and gradually build to a steady, moderate-paced flow. Attention is focused on breath and alignment. This is a challenging class that will leave you refreshed and ready to begin your week. Suitable for all levels.
Vinyasa
This is a vigorous class that is suitable for students of all levels.
Vinyasa literally means breath-synchronized movement. Constantly flowing,
we use our breath as a string to create a garland of asanas, or postures.
This class is a challenge! The student will build stamina, strength, flexibility
and grace.
*All classes are ongoing and do not require pre-registration.
