Restorative Yoga/ Yoga Nidra - al class with very little movement, laying down, where we train our body to relax.

Restorative Yoga relaxes the Central Nervous System through the body. First relaxing the Musculo-skeletal system, then relaxing the Nervous System.

Yoga Nidra relaxes the Nervous System through guided meditation, inducing a state of consciousness somewhere between asleep & awake.

Mondays at 10:45- 11:45 AM

Wednesdays 7:45- 8:30 PM

Flow Vinyasa
Flow Vinyasa is a gentle yet challenging class—perfect for the beginning or returning Yogi, or anyone looking to increase flexibility, mobility, and strength.

Did you know that a decrease in mobility and flexibility can accelerate the aging process? Keeping the body supple, mobile, and strong is one of the most effective forms of anti-aging!

This class gently opens the joints, improves balance, and enhances mobility throughout the entire body. Over time, these practices cultivate vitality—a natural state of health, energy, and well-being that comes from consistent, mindful movement.

While weight training is essential for maintaining strong muscles, yoga offers the complementary benefits of mobility, balance, flexibility, and coordination—all key components of lifelong vitality.

Yoga keeps the joints lubricated, the tissues hydrated, and the body youthful. Flow Vinyasa encourages movement in all directions, helping restore and maintain your natural range of motion. With patience and breath, normal mobility can return—little by little, breath by breath.

Come to Yoga.

Yoga is for every body.
Through gentle, natural movement, we create the atmosphere for the body to strengthen, stretch, and heal.

October and November is a special time when we can connect more easily with those who have passed.

This thinning veil was thought to be a time when spirits of the dead could revisit their homes, and other supernatural beings, like fairies, could more easily enter the world of the living.

During this time, the boundary between the world of the living and the world of the dead blurred, allowing spirits to return to the earthly realm.
