Join us for a midday yoga break. Vinyasa yoga is one of the most popular styles of yoga. The poses in each class will focus on each inhale and each exhale and will flow continuously from one movement to another. Vinyasa builds heat in the body, increase flexibility, develops strength, and stimulates the cardiovascular system. This practice is suitable for beginners and yogis of all levels.

Prenatal yoga is a great way to stay active during pregnancy. It's both gentle and low impact, while offering physical and mental benefits. Classes include poses, deep breathing, relaxation, and meditation that may be practiced through all trimesters. This specialty class is designed to create a supportive community for attendees.

Yin yoga poses focus on the connective tissues and bringing balance back to the body. While many styles concentration on the building heat, Yin takes a slow, meditative approach. Each class works to bring balance back to the joints and spine, improve joint health, range of motion, and connect our physical bodies with our mental selves. Due to its stilling nature, yin yoga practice helps to move the mind to a state of quiet and calm. This practice is suitable for beginners, yogis of all levels, and all who engage in physical activities. This style is the counterbalance to active yoga, martial arts, running, weightlifting, and physically demanding professions.

Flow Yoga (Vinyasa yoga) is one of the most popular styles of yoga. The poses in each class will focus on each inhale and each exhale and will flow continuously from one movement to another.
