Gentle Flow: Emphasizing a mind/body connection, this is a great class for students looking for a more gentle experience, those who are new to yoga or those who need a change of pace, yet still have the opportunity to take it to the next level. Also a nice option for students with injuries or limitations. Props are provided and encouraged to allow the body to fully achieve each pose comfortably. Our studio is heated to a warm 70 degrees.

Vinyasa: Vinyasa means “connection.” Vinyasa Yoga synchronizes movement with breath which helps the practitioner develop a greater sense of self-awareness, balance, and harmony with themselves and their environment. Vinyasa classes typically include smoothly flowing movements between poses guided by the force of inhales and exhales. Each class may include variations of Sun Salutations as well as core, standing postures, inversions, twists, forward bends, deep relaxation, etc. This session is an ideal option for experienced yogis and can be scaled up or down depending upon what your body needs.

Gentle Vinyasa: Appropriate for students who enjoy and desire a slower paced Vinyasa style practice. These classes are designed to give detailed instruction and to be less physically challenging than a typical Vinyasa class. Gentle Vinyasa will allow the student to gain strength and flexibility at their own pace with safety and alignment as the main focus.

Mindful Movement & Meditation: It's true! Your thoughts create your reality! During this class, you will be guided into a positive mindset through the use of guided imagery and positive affirmations that help you re-program your mind, body and emotions to align with peace, balance, joy, and abundance.

If you feel stuck, unhappy, or unclear about your path in life, this class is for you. If you've been struggling with fear, pessimism, self-esteem, body image, relationship issues, financial woes, or any negative and self-sabotaging thought/emotion patterns, this class will transform that stinkin' thinkin' into a powerhouse of positivity that leaves you feeling ah-may-zing and on track to transforming your life and mind for good! This introspective practice strikes a balance between movement & stillness, strength & surrender, leaving you open, refreshed, and at peace. *Please bring a journal and pen.

Flow & Restore: We will practice gently paced breath to movement flow postures for the first portion of class, and investigate a restful restorative practice for the second half. Restorative Yoga is designed for those who want and need to fill themselves back up. Life on the outside can be pretty stress-filled these days. Restorative Yoga helps you remember how to find the calm in the storm, have strength from within and revitalize yourself so that you feel whole again. This deep restful practice will help bring balance and peace back into your life again.

Prenatal: Using postures, breathing, and meditation to help ease pregnancy, delivery, and the after effects of birth. The classes create strength, focus, flexibility and awareness through a gentle practice designed especially for the pregnant woman’s needs. Prenatal Yoga classes provide a safe, peaceful and supportive environment for expectant mothers and are a wonderful way to connect with other mothers-to-be. Yoga helps to alleviate many of the discomforts of pregnancy such as heartburn, nausea, constipation, varicose veins, swelling, and back pain. The classes are appropriate for both new and experienced students.

Candlelight: Rejuvenate your natural rhythm & harmony, improve strength & flexibility, dissolve tension, and experience a deep sense of well-being that will support you well after the session is over. This introspective practice strikes a balance between movement & stillness, strength & surrender, leaving you open, refreshed, and at peace.

BROga: This one’s for the bro’s. Challenge, Sweat, and Stretch! Increase your mobility and reduce stress - while strengthening your body/core! Join us for this dude's only combo of functional fitness exercises and interval training with a fun, not so serious gentle yoga experience with CrossFit Coach and Certified Vinyasa Yoga instructor, Daina O’Brien. This is geared toward all ability levels - and beginners are particularly encouraged to join!

Interval Training: Timed intervals involving a variety of low to high intensity exercises interspersed with short rest periods. Studies show that the metabolism-boosting effects of high intensity intervals may be more effective at inducing fat loss than simply training at a moderate intensity for the same duration. Blast calories, build muscle, improve performance, and crush goals!

Functional Training: This is a strength and conditioning class consisting of aerobic movements, body weight exercises, and weightlifting. We will focus on skill work and exercises which involve training the body for the activities of every day life. We will explore proper body weight movements and gradually increase intensity with the use of weights, height, speed, duration, elements, etc. **Our Form/Technique Workshop is a recommended prerequisite for students participating in Functional Training.

Circuit Training: If you are somebody that likes variety, then you will love the spontaneity of this class because it can change at any time! It will be a combination of strength, cardio and core - but every week will be a surprise! Total body conditioning class in a group circuit format! Easy to follow, yet effective combo utilizing weights and resistance work.

Cycle / Strength Training: CST classes combine a nice variety of drills on and off the bike! Interval-based full-body strength training designed to burn fat, increase your strength, and improve your cardio conditioning.

Kristine { Fitness | Mind | Body | Yoga } Kristine's fitness journey began 25 years ago while getting her degree in Dance.

Several years later, after her daughter was born, the pain returned and a friend recommended Pilates. She found relief, got certified, and after six years teaching Pilates decided it was time to revisit yoga. Kristine likes to mix things up with Dance and Tabata as well.

Josie { Mind | Body | Yoga } Josie found her yoga practice over time.
