More than a shape

Yoga brings movement, breath, attention, and choice together.

Our classes support strength, mobility, balance, and embodied awareness. The goal is not to force your body into a prescribed form. It is to practice with curiosity, receive useful guidance, and discover what steadiness can feel like today.

What to expect

A clear beginning, thoughtful progression, and options throughout.

Your teacher will orient you to the class, guide breath and movement, and offer variations so you can choose an appropriate level of effort. Depending on the format, practice may include standing postures, floor-based movement, stillness, meditation, or supported rest.

  • Arrive about 10 minutes early so you can settle in.
  • Wear clothing that allows comfortable movement.
  • Studio props support the practice when appropriate.
  • You are always welcome to pause, modify, or rest.

This practice is not a substitute for individualized medical or mental health care, physical therapy, or rehabilitation. If pain, injury, balance concerns, or a health condition may affect participation, consult an appropriate clinician and speak with your instructor or practitioner before participating.

Yin Yoga

Slow, sustained floor poses explore a comfortable stretch and awareness of body and breath. Props can help you adjust each pose; the focus differs from Restorative Yoga’s fully supported rest.

Read More about Yin Yoga

Yin Yoga uses longer-held floor postures and a quiet, attentive pace. Choose the 60- or 75-minute practice, or explore Flow-Yin Fusion for a combination of moving sequences and sustained Yin poses. Props can help you adjust positioning and find a comfortable stretch. Yin emphasizes stretching and stillness; Restorative Yoga emphasizes supported rest with minimal muscular effort.

Pace: Slow, with longer-held floor poses
Experience: All experience levels; comfort with longer holds is helpful

Explore Yin Yoga

Restorative Yoga

Fully supported rest practices designed to reduce effort and create space for ease.

Read More about Restorative Yoga

Restorative Yoga uses bolsters, blocks, blankets, and other supports to help you rest in comfortable postures. Extended holds and breath awareness create an unhurried practice with minimal muscular effort. This format is open to all levels, including beginners. It differs from Yin Yoga, which includes sustained stretching. Ask for help arranging props and adjust your position whenever needed.

Pace: Very slow, with prop-supported rest
Experience: All experience levels, including first-time students

Explore Restorative Yoga

Somatic Yoga

Slow, awareness-centered movement that emphasizes sensation, choice, and embodied learning.

Read More about Somatic Yoga

Gentle Somatic Yoga emphasizes how movement feels from the inside. Explore small, comfortable movements, breath awareness, and pauses to notice sensation. There is no requirement to achieve a particular pose shape or stretch deeply. This all-levels class also appears under Gentle Yoga because of its slow pace and adaptable movement.

Pace: Slow, with time to notice sensation
Experience: All experience levels; curiosity matters more than pose experience

Explore Somatic Yoga

Gentle Yoga

A slower-paced practice with gentle movement, stretching, and options to reduce effort. For those seeking a gentler experience, whether new to yoga or experienced.

Read More about Gentle Yoga

Gentle Flow & Deep Stretch combines unhurried flowing movement with stretches and breath awareness. Gentle Somatic Yoga explores comfortable movement and internal sensation. Both welcome all levels, including beginners. Choose a range of motion that suits you, and pause or rest when needed. Gentle describes pace and effort; it does not necessarily mean a class is devoted to step-by-step instruction in yoga fundamentals.

Pace: Slow, with options to reduce effort
Experience: New and experienced practitioners seeking a gentler practice
