CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Beginner Level Vinyasa Yoga

This is our yoga basics class, designed with beginners in mind. We’ve slowed down the pace a bit to allow more emphasis on proper alignment and adequate breathing. Longer posture holds will create heat and strength for overall body toning.  The (+) means the instructor has the freedom to offer intermediate options based on the ability level of the class.  

Intermediate Vinyasa Yoga

A vinyasa flow class set at a more vigorous pace than our v1 classes in order to create heat in the body. We open up key muscle groups preparing you for more challenging “peak” poses.

Intermediate+ Vinyasa Yoga

A more advanced Vinyasa Flow class set at an athletic pace offering more intermediate posture variations, options for arm balances and inversions. Be prepared to have fun and try something new.

Aerial Open Gym is a time when students who have already taken level 1 classes and higher can come to practice whatever skills they have learned in class and may desire to work further on. Although the instructor present won't arrive with a lesson to teach, they will be there to help correct form and to remind students how to perform a skill. All four aerial points will be down for the hour.

You may bring your own aerial silk/hammock or lyra or use one of ours.
