Chair Yoga - Mixed-level classes designed for those who want to practice yoga but perhaps find it challenging to transition to and from the floor. Providing all the benefits of a traditional mat practice, Chair Yoga allows students to perform yoga poses while seated and standing using a chair for support. Classes include all the elements of mat yoga and focus on building strength, flexibility, and balance. Please note, Chair Yoga classes involve both seated and standing poses. Participants must be able to stand up from an armless chair without assistance. Yoga Basics - Designed for students exploring mat yoga for the first time, as well as for continuing students who want to enhance their skills and dive deeper into the nuances of each pose.

Learn to move safely by making modifications to best fit individual needs while practicing yoga in a deliberate and mindful manner. Suitable for all students who can transition to and from the floor without assistance. Stretch & Explore - Mixed-level mat class that makes extensive use of props, such as blocks, straps, large towels, and chairs to provide support and accessibility. Passive and dynamic yoga postures are used to help open the body in new and fun ways while exploring range of motion and flexibility. Physical, mental, and energetic adjustments are made throughout class to help broaden capabilities both on and off the mat. This class is designed for all students who can get up and down from the floor, using a chair for assistance if needed. Hatha Vinyasa Flow - This mixed-level mat class begins with gentle movement, transitioning smoothly from one posture to the next while synchronizing breath with motion. After the body is warmed, more time is spent in select yoga poses to deepen the experience and encourage strength, flexibility, and balance. Common class poses include Sun Salutations as well as standing, seated, and supine postures, with modifications and variations provided to accommodate individual needs. Additionally, a selection of Pilates-inspired moves is included to boost vitality and energy. This class is suitable for students who are able to transition on and off the floor with confidence. Restorative/Yin Yoga - A restful, meditative practice built around supported yoga poses and targeting deep connective tissues, like fascia, ligaments, and joints. The slower pace and cooling breath practices of this class give students space to turn inward and tune into both the mind and the physical sensations of the body. Restorative/Yin poses are practiced while sitting or lying down on the mat and are designed to be accessible to all yogis who can transition to and from the floor. Note: Not all classes are
offered year-round. Please check the Monthly Calendar for current class schedules. |
