Active Beginner      
The Active Beginner class is meant to offer a range of appeal to those with an active lifestyle who are beginning a yoga practice as well as those seeking to deepen their understanding of foundational strength and breath.  Classes are physically challenging to all, with different variations of each pose offered depending upon capability.  Breath awareness, basic postures,  and muscle awareness are the three key elements explored in these classes.  Attendees are encouraged to realize  their personal  limits in a safe and friendly environment.

Beginner/Intermediate      
These classes are aimed at offering a bridge to those transitioning their practice.  Postures are more advanced, breath work is typically broadened, and more variations are demonstrated and encouraged to bring more intensity into the class.  Those with an advanced yoga practice will also find a challenge here.
       
Donations      
Simply stated, the donations class is offered so that all people may attend at least one class a week regardless of financial capability.  The focus of the class is broad and offers a challenging practice to all ranges of capability.

Intermediate/Advanced      
Designed for those seeking to transition into advanced postures or for those who wish to extend the boundaries of their current intermediate level practice.  Theory and philosophy of yoga are periodically discussed as tools to deepen the focus of the class.
       
Open Level      
A playground for all levels of fitness and conditioning to explore a wide spectrum of movement.  Classes are rooted in classical posture sequences with many new insights and an openness for questions.  There is a special emphasis on strength-building to create balance, but there is always a variation that will fit where you are.
       
Vinyasa Flow      
This class will warm you up with vinyasas. Beginners to Ashtanga are welcome but basic experience with yoga postures is helpful. This class does not adhere to the Primary Series sequence but instead uses the process of a vinyasa practice to raise the pulse, connect movement with breath, and balance mind and body.
       
Yoga Basics      
A great introduction to yoga. Learn basic postures and gain an understanding of why proper alignment comes before range of motion. Yoga Basics will help you improve lung capacity, flexibility, and strength, providing a solid stepping stone toward more advanced classes.
       
Yoga Takshati      
Our bodies are continually worked in habitual ways according to our daily activities, and the shapes of our bodies reflect these habits. Yoga Takshati is designed to awaken your connection to muscles through targeting isolated areas with specific sequencing. The body can be shaped, toned, balanced, and strengthened through activation and motion. Improve grace of movement and coordination through increased control of your most valuable tool - your body.
