Yoga provides a wide range of benefits for both the body and mind. Through its various poses and stretches, yoga improves flexibility, strength, and posture. The focus on breath and mindfulness in yoga also promotes stress reduction, mental clarity, and a sense of overall well-being. Additionally, consistent practice has been linked to better balance, improved immune function, and a healthier lifestyle.
Class Description
Vinyasa yoga, also called “flow” because of the smooth way the poses run together, is a fluid practice combining poses in sequences that focus on linking breath with movement. You may be moving one breath to one movement or several breaths to one movement.
What to expect: This 60 minute non-heated Vinyasa yoga class focuses on connecting the breath to your movements, forming a flowing sequence. Students focus on linking conscious breath mindful movement to awaken strength, energy and flexibility. The continual flow from one pose to the next gives an added cardiovascular benefit.
The beauty of Vinyasa yoga is the variety. There is no standard sequencing so the style, pace and intensity will all vary depending on the teacher
LEVEL: Suitable for ALL bodies & ALL levels
TEMPERATURE: Non-heated

Class Description
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced, therapeutic style of yoga. Rather than focusing on your muscles, Yin targets your deep connective tissues, like your fascia, ligaments, joints and bones. The key is holding each pose for an extended period of time, typically for two to five minutes (or longer)! Because you’re holding poses for longer periods of time, Yin Yoga helps you stretch and lengthen those rarely used tissues while also teaching you to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts.
Yoga Nidra is a meditation technique that moves the brain from the thinking center to the feeling center, which can help create a sense of deep stillness and presence. Many students gleefully exclaim “sleep!” when relaxation time rolls around. Indeed, yoga nidra can be translated as yogic sleep as the brain moves through various wave states similar to sleep, allowing the body to heal deeply. Intentions are set in this meditative state which can become stored in the body as “inner blueprints”, creating a healing shift over time.
Yoga Nidra can provide the same benefit as four hours of deep sleep.
What to expect: This class is a dynamic duo of both Yin and Nidra which refreshes the body and removes baggage from the subconscious.

What to expect: Yin Yoga is unique in that you are asked to relax into the posture, allowing the body to soften and release naturally without pushing or straining. While holding the Yin poses, you are asked to observe the breath and use this as a way to focus on the present moment, allowing the body to drop down into the parasympathetic nervous system, offering a grounding, calming and revitalizing practice, with profound energetic and emotional effects.
*Often times sound healing will accompany this yin class
