Beginner Hatha Yoga: 

This is a gentle stretching and strengthening class using basic postures, suitable for most people. This is a great class to learn how to do yoga! Alternatives are always given to help those who need a gentler variation, as well as for those who would like to challenge themselves a little more. This class will vary from week to week to keep students' minds and bodies curious and engaged but will be geared toward beginners. Students are always encouraged to listen to their bodies and only do what is comfortable for them physically and mentally. Classes are 60 minutes long, except for Express classes, which are 45 minutes long.

Beginner Back Care Yoga: 

If you've ever experienced an achy back, you know how debilitating back pain can be. This class aims to help those who are not in acute pain to gently stretch, as well as perform very gentle strengthening postures to stabilize the back safely. This class is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition on its own, but it can be very beneficial for preventing minor back pain when done regularly. Classes are 60 minutes long.

Barre/Pilates Low Impact Fitness: 

This is a fantastic class for beginners and beyond to build stability, and mobility, and improve strength and cardiovascular health - all while having fun! You'll get lots of modifications so almost everyone, regardless of skill or mobility level can participate to their fullest without ever feeling lost, left behind or bored. You'll need indoor-only fitness shoes, your mat and some water. Classes are 60 minutes long, Express classes are 45 minutes long.

BodyWise Sculpt Fitness: 

Feel the burn in all the right places in this 60-minute class. Using Barre, Pilates, cardio and resistance movements, you'll increase your strength, mobility and balance. You’ll tone up, boost your energy, and feel confident in your body and mind with movements that change weekly to keep things fresh and engaging. You'll need indoor-only shoes, your mat and some water. Classes are 45 minutes long.

Beginner Yin Yoga: 

These classes focus on holding gentle stretches for longer periods of time in order to gently stretch your muscles and connective tissues. Yin also has fantastic meditative and restorative qualities. When holding gentle stretches for longer, your mind and body are gently encouraged to relax. Many people find that they sleep much better after doing a Yin Yoga class. Classes are 60 minutes long.

Restorative Yoga: 

Fondly known by our students as "sleepy time" or, "pillow" yoga, this class intends to help you relax so deeply you could fall asleep. Props like pillows, bolsters, blankets and chairs are used to help the student stay supported in comfortable positions to help the nervous system relax. Poses are not "held" as the intent is not to build strength or to stretch, but to simply allow the body and mind to rest. Many find that they sleep better after a Restorative yoga class! These classes are suitable for almost everyone. Classes are 60 minutes long.

Power Yoga: 

For those who want a bit more of a physical practice, but don't want to go to a traditional gym, this is a great option. We focus on building stability and strength, along with stretching, using basic and intermediate yoga postures. Alternatives are given whenever possible for those who may need to make things less challenging, as well as ways to turn up the heat for those who wish to explore more difficulty in their practice. This is great for those who think they can't stay still for very long! Classes are 60 minutes long.

Chair Yoga: 

This is a very gentle series of stretches done in a sturdy chair at a slow, steady pace. This is a great class for those with limited mobility or who are just returning to exercise after a break. For those who can stand for short periods, we will do some postures with the support of the chair. Those with artificial joints or achy backs may find this especially beneficial. Classes are 60 minutes long.
