Beginner Yoga: For those who are new to yoga or still in their first year of practice. This class focuses on learning correct alignment of the basic poses and how to use the yogic breath to inform the pose. Great for building strength & flexibility while learning how to relax deeply into the practice.
Breath and Movement Yoga: This class begins with a comprehensive breath practice followed by gentle movement and Surya Namaskar (a sequence done to honor the sun that gives us light and life). Yoga poses are taught with careful attention to proper alignment. All levels are welcome.

Iyengar Vinyasa: Dynamic continuous movements of introductory Iyengar poses focusing on actions and how they correlate to each other through the poses. This type of practice offers endurance and strength along with mental discipline. Not recommended for those with injuries.
Iyengar Yoga: Iyengar Yoga, created by B.K.S. Iyengar, focuses on the structural alignment of the physical body through the development of asanas. It aims to unite the body, mind, and spirit for health and well-being. Iyengar Yoga is characterized by great attention to detail, and the use of props such as blocks or chairs to allow beginners and experienced practitioners to find the essence of the pose.
Kundalini Yoga: The Yoga of Awareness. It works through postures, breath, chanting, and meditation to clear energy channels. You can often feel the powerful effects of Kundalini after just a few minutes of practice.
Led Ashtanga (Workshops Only): This is a challenging, vigorous, flowing led class, consisting of a fixed sequence of poses as taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, where we link each movement to the breath.
Pranakriya Yoga: Pranakriya Yoga comes from a deep tradition steeped in using our practice for healing and transformation. In this class, Nathan will be teaching energizing breathwork, warm-ups, and a posture sequence at a consistent pace. If we can act as a witness in a state of high energy we can begin to shift and grow. Join Nathan for a yoga class that will challenge you where you are, surprise you, and shines a light on what is real and true. This class is appropriate for all levels but we encourage students to take care of themselves and take breaks when needed.
Restorative Yoga: Restorative Yoga is a slow-paced form of yoga that helps relax the body, thus allowing conscious time and space for the body to heal itself. Use of various yoga props to hold the body in favorable positions, while gentle touch adjustments aid the flow of energy, encouraging the mind and body to release tension and restore health.
Slow Paced: Yoga asanas (postures) modified for older adults and those needing a slower-paced class. All levels, beginners welcome.
Slow Stretch (a.k.a. Yin Yoga): Focuses on stretching slowly and deeply into poses that are aimed at increasing flexibility. Stretches aren't forced but relaxed into. No need for previous yoga experience and no fear of having to get into those "yoga pretzel poses". Anyone can do slow stretch yoga and everyone can benefit from it.
Vinyasa Flow: This flowing class is challenging, invigorating and fun for both advanced and less experienced students. Level 2 begins with sun salutations, followed by standing and seated poses, and emphasizes the breath. Recommend one-year previous practice, but all are welcome!
