Hatha yoga is a perfect option if you enjoy dynamic movement (breath and movement) combined with more detailed instruction in the poses. In these classes, you can expect instruction in a variety of standing, seated and reclining postures. All yoga classes technically fall under this category of Hatha; however, certain styles of yoga tend to emphasize certain aspects of the practice more than others. So Hatha is a perfect place to begin (and stay!) because it is truly appropriate for all-levels.

Alignment-Based yoga is a wonderful way to focus the mind and strengthen the body. It is known for the use of props (straps, blocks, blankets, bolsters, etc.) with an emphasis on body awareness and structural alignment as a way to deepen the mind-body connection. This class is more interactive and poses are generally held for a longer period than in Hatha or Flow classes. Alignment-Based yoga is equally appropriate for beginning students, people recovering from injuries, as well as experienced practitioners.

Morning Flow is a great way to get moving in the morning. This class incorporates a flow with the breath and follows the structure of a vinyasa sequence with lots of options, making it appropriate for all levels of practice. This class also moves through variations of Sun Salutations as a way to greet the day with a heart of gratitude and openness. Classes are heated to 74 degrees to help the muscles relax and facilitate energetic movement throughout the body.

Vinyasa means to move the body in a way that brings consciousness to the movement. In a Vinyasa Flow class, the breath is central to the practice of yoga, since the breath guides each movement of the body. By bringing consciousness to these movements, the flow of a Vinyasa class connects the mind, the body, and the soul. Room is sometimes warmer than other classes, so you should expect to sweat.

It's very important to listen to your body in any yoga class, but particularly so in a vinyasa flow class, which tends to push the body in a faster-paced environment. As always, honor your limitations. Because this is a fast-moving class that tends to weave in some more challenging poses, we recommend that absolute beginners start with the morning flow classes, and then add in a vinyasa class when ready.

Yin and Restorative yoga classes offer practitioners a chance to slow down and be present with the breath and the body. Thus, they are perfect complements to the more active classes on the schedule. Yin Yoga focuses on stretching the connective tissues (ligaments, tendons, and fascia) to create greater range of motion in the joints and spine. Yin poses are almost entirely passive and can be well supported with the use of props when appropriate. Because connective tissues require more time to lengthen than muscles do, most of the poses are held for several minutes to allow the pose to penetrate.

Prenatal yoga is for people who are pregnant or who are trying to become pregnant and want to prepare for parenthood. Prenatal yoga is also a great way to relax. You'll learn ways to connect your mind to your breath as well as doing movements that help you stay strong and flexible. Postpartum people are also welcome.

Chair Yoga is one of the gentlest forms of yoga available. It is practiced while sitting on a chair or standing using a chair for support. It offers a fulfilling yoga practice that is more easily accessible to those experiencing difficulty with balance, flexibility, or getting up and down from the floor. Chair yoga is an excellent way to loosen and stretch painful muscles, reduce stress, and improve circulation. It also helps reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure, protect joints, increase mobility, and build strength and balance.
