Ashtanga Research (Mysore/Self-Practice)

This is the traditional method of one-on-one instruction in a group setting (beginner-friendly).
All students learn Surya Namaskara and standing poses, then the Ashtanga 1st/2nd sequences of poses and exercises/transitions.
Seated breathing and meditation practice included.

Vinyasa

The art of movement with breath.
Series of Yoga postures are linked together by the rhythm of the breath to create tapas (heat) to help purify the body and still the mind.
This improvisation of poses is an all-levels practice that can depend on the season, time of day and of course, the instructor.

Candlelight Yoga

Dim the lights! Indulge in the serene ambiance of candlelight. This class is designed to cultivate tranquility and inner peace through gentle yoga sequences, fostering a harmonious union of mind, body, and spirit.

Candlelight Yin

An introspective approach to your practice (beginner-friendly).
We will hold simple postures for a longer period of time, inviting deep stretch and meditative state of mind.

Dream Yoga

Lucid Dreaming has been practiced by numerous cultures from Tibetan Buddhists to the Toltecs of Mexico. Most recently this art has been refined in the West thanks to many scientific advances and discoveries. This class integrates the collective knowledge of these practices in a blend of gentle, restorative postures, pranayama, and guided meditations to promote sleep, inspire the imagination, and develop your dreaming skills.
