Hatha Flow
An all levels class bringing balance and strength to your mind, body, and soul. This steady-paced class includes a breath-synchronized series of poses that flows smoothly between Sun Salutation inspired sequences and longer-held poses, guiding students through a moving meditation. This class emphasizes the development of core strength for joint stability and increased endurance.
Vinyasa Flow
This vigorous style of yoga links breath and movement framed around Sun Salutations. The smooth, continuous flow deepens breathing, increases endurance, and will test the edge of your balance and flexibility. This is an all levels class, however, being comfortable with basic yoga postures and appreciating a healthy sweat is recommended.
Lunch Hour

You will experience a mix of dynamic and physically demanding poses, which will strengthen your muscles, increase flexibility and energize your body, mind and spirit. Classes are abbreviated to a 50 minute time frame to support your health and wellness in your busy day.
Gentle Flow
A slow paced class designed to warm up and nourish the joints of the body, soothe the nervous system and restore vital energy. Most of the class will be on the floor in seated or supine poses, but will also include gentle sun salutations and standing poses. This class is perfect for those working with arthritis, back pain, recovery from injury and/or illness and those just looking to move through their yoga practice at a gentle pace.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga gently opens the body using props and passive restorative poses, which assist in quieting the mind and allows for a deep sense of relaxation. Enjoy the benefits of yoga in a class designed to feel like no work whatsoever. A meditative time to cultivate awareness of body breath and mind, this class is recommended for those experiencing stress, recovering from injury or illness, and anyone seeking a gentle class to unwind, relax and renew and prepare you for a good night's sleep. This class is appropriate for beginners.

Come meet with other soon to be mamas/birthing people, build community, find support, and learn how to flow with the body you are in!
Yoga For The Movement
A donation based Hatha Flow class for folks engaged or interested in the work of social justice. This yoga practice is offered to keep us embodied, centered, and regulated as we stay aligned with the goal of collective liberation. Recognizing our place in the interconnected web of all phenomena, may we work to decondition and decolonize our own habitual patterns, so that we may more skillfully act in the world from a place of awareness, compassion, and wisdom. May we use this practice as a means to cultivate the energetic qualities of the postures we take, as well as to process and integrate the experiences we have while bearing witness to suffering and engaging in the movement towards a liberated world.
