Monday 3/18

6:45 – 7:45am

Sunrise Yoga

Steven T.

Sunrise Yoga provides a vinyasa based practice that will reawaken your body and mind. Similar to our Modern Vinyasa class, this class is often tailored to the needs of the group and may include breath-to-movement sequencing, traditional postures, mobility exploration, and/or myofascial release that will unwind tension and prime you for whatever the day brings.

12:00 – 1:15pm

Ashtanga Inspired

Kendall W.

Ashtanga yoga is a powerful yoga practice that includes sun salutations, breath awareness, control of the eyes (drishti), engagement of the inner body (bandhas), chanting, and postures that challenge strength, flexibility, and focus. Many postures will be held for five breaths. Ashtanga-Inspired classes weave together the traditional Ashtanga practice with creative sequencing and dynamic movement. Backbends, inversions, and arm balances opportunities are typically included in this class.

4:30 – 5:45pm

Vinyasa Flow

Kendall W.

Dynamic movement and graceful flow in time with your breath are the hallmarks of this practice. Vinyasa flow classes offer opportunities to practice embodiment through movement and experience a flow state while opening and strengthening the body. While flowing through postures will certainly be a part of the class, there may be pauses for reflection and to break down posture alignment throughout the class. Our teachers are pleased to offer modifications and variations to make this practice accessible to both new and experienced practitioners.

6:00 – 7:15pm

Modern Vinyasa

Anika S.

Modern Vinyasa is a fusion of traditional postures, creative sequencing, and modern mobility techniques (such as muscle isolations and myofascial release) intended to bring balance to the body and explore strength, flexibility, and balance in playful and functional ways. This class may vary in pace and style, but often includes flowing through postures, breathing in time with each movement, and contemplation of a philosophical element of the practice.

6:15 – 7:15pm

Climber's Core and Stability

Ashley M.

Climber’s Core is an hour-long strength and stability class that emphasizes multi dimensional core, posterior chain, and climbing relevant stability. This class uses both resistance training and bodyweight exercises to improve performance and support injury prevention. The class provides proper form instruction, modifications to support each individual, and a varying curriculum to keep you interested and progressing.

7:30 – 8:45pm

Release and Restore

Allison S.

This class's primary aim is to support recovery through myofascial release and restorative yoga postures. Restorative Yoga is a practice of supporting the body into comfort and relaxation in order to downgrade into the parasympathetic nervous system. Restorative Yoga supports stress reduction and promotes the tissue repair that takes place during the rest and digest phase. Myofascial release (sometimes referred to  as rolling or self massage)  promotes mobility, hydrates the fascia, increases body awareness, and relieves tension. This class often includes a sound bath savasana to further support your relaxation and well being.

Slow Flow

Allison S.

Slow Flow invites curiosity and contemplation through mindful movement and breath awareness.
