Subtle Body Yoga
Mondays 6 pm
Explore how to create support and ease in your body through movement, alignment, breath work, sound, and meditation. We will play with how alignment creates both stability and ease, and with sensing subtle rhythms, contractions, and connections in the body - structurally, myofascially, and energetically. Each class will leave you grounded, centered, and perhaps a teeny bit taller.
This class generally moves quite slowly, and is potentially accessible even if you are not comfortable being on the floor (let's talk!). Lots of options for shapes, movements and creative use of props will be offered, allowing you to find your balance of effort and ease.

Flow to Balance Yoga
Tuesdays 9 am
This slow flow class will start your day on a perfectly balanced note, awakening the body and preparing the mind for the day ahead. Each class begins with simple breath work, then builds gentle heat in a Vinyasa flow, and finally eases into stillness and a closing moment of mindfulness. On the mat, you will develop strength, flexibility, and balance in the body and mind that will also support you off the mat, helping you thrive in your daily life.

Breath + Movement for Nervous System Health
Tuesdays 6 pm
Come and spend an hour of your week cultivating nervous system health through breath and movement. The class will always begin with a compassionate invitation to pause and notice, creating space to listen to the messages your body is sending so that you can practice responding to yourself with care. Then we will move through postures in sync with our breath, and end the class with restorative yoga to practice presence. Throughout the practice, we contemplate principles to build a healthy nervous system and take the principles of mind-body connection off the mat and into our daily lives.
​
All levels are welcome, as each posture is always a choice, and customizing the pose to fit your body is encouraged!
Vitality Boost is a unique mobility + core class that teaches how to leverage breath and movement for increased mobility, strength, and longevity. With each class you will learn mindful movement techniques to enhance your movement ability through all joints and pathways.
You will build skills around intentional breathing and listening to/interpreting your body’s feedback, as well as learn movements that will help you increase the range of motion and strength in your joints and core.

TESTIMONIAL from TRACY: "This class is amazing and I will not miss it! It provides such a great variety of stretching, breathing, and core work, with noticeable results. Claire has an endless variety of movements and adjusts the class to your needs. I leave refreshed and re-energized. It suits all ages and levels and I highly recommend it!"
Awareness is the ability to understand oneself and one's surroundings. In Awareness Yoga, poses will be practiced with a focus on synchronizing breath and mind as a tool to cultivate awareness in deepening one's understanding of yoga asanas (poses). The secret is to witness and build a relationship between your body and mind in the present moment. Surrender and experience your growth with a smile!

TESTIMONIAL from STEPHANIE: "I can contribute my better posture to the class, but also an improved mood as well. Tsyr Han is a welcoming teacher who leads the class with compassion and positivity, encouraging us to be our best selves in and out of the class."
Slow flow yoga is a sustainable and dynamic practice for beginner and ongoing yogis. Its slower and gentler pace allow you to move with your breath and listen to your body. Proper breathing calms the mind and cultivates mindfulness. The slow flow practice allows the muscles to stretch and strengthen gradually. As the mind body connection deepens, the body is able to adjust to experience the full benefits of each posture with breath in time.
Try this slow flow class and feel your practice evolve into a moving meditation.
