Adult Classes Beginning Yoga

Intermediate Yoga

Gentle Stretch Yoga

Candlelight Yin Yoga

Enjoy a supportive class environment while being introduced to the basics of yoga. The physical and mental benefits include increased flexibility, strength, stamina, awareness, concentration, balance, and grace. Most of all yoga is fun and will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and peaceful.

This class offers a flowing practice that appeals to experienced yoga students comfortable with yoga postures and sun salutations. This “vinyasa” flow integrates breath and movement, inner and outer alignment, and strength and flexibility, and will leave you feeling relaxed, refreshed, and peaceful.

This gentle class, practiced to soothing music, combines Level 1 poses, breath work, and meditation. It is geared toward students who wish to move at a slower pace, as well as those that desire a more gentle practice between more vigorous activities. Props are used for gentle relaxation and deepening the restorative benefits of the poses.

This form of yoga uses long, passive holds to work on the deep, dense connective tissues of the body—the tendons, ligaments, and cartilage—that are difficult to energize and open. Longer holds facilitate deeper opening and increased flexibility, especially in the spine and hips, as well as rehabilitation for the joints and muscles. Benefits of passively holding the poses include restorative benefits, deep relaxation, and balance.
