Flow on our rooftop studio and in our large Earth Room which holds over 60 yogis, or sweat in our Moon room - a gently heated Infrared studio - a therapeutic way to detoxify. Every vinyasa class focuses on breath to movement in some capacity and can include a spiritual, healing or strength aspect dependent on the teacher. Inhale, exhale, repeat.
Restorative CLASSES
We focus on healing the body and mind through deep relaxation and release of mental, emotional, and physical stress. Class combinations include Yin Yoga (a more restorative from of yoga) with Reiki (a form of energy healing). Yin Yoga postures gently stretch, while Reiki helps remove stagnant energy.
yoga class Descriptions
vINYASA YOGA CLASSES
VINYASA
Our Vinyasa classes perfectly balance attention to alignment and a fluid and graceful flow. Connecting poses together and flowing with the breath creates a dance-like movement that builds heat in the body and calmness in the mind. After the initial warm-up, a creative sequence of standing postures and sun salutations will fill the majority of the class. Sequences include warrior poses, back bends and some basic balances and inversions. Each class ends with deep stretches and a relaxing savasana.
LEVEL: All Levels.
HATHA
Our Hatha yoga class differs from Vinyasa as poses are held a little longer. Mindfulness within the pose is encouraged as you explore the connection to body and breath within the poses, rather than between poses. Expect thoughtful and dynamic series, created to build mental and physical strength. Inversions and balances may be explored. These classes will NOT be filled with repetitive chaturangas. The combination of powerful poses, softened at the end with deep stretching and Savasana, creates a fulfilling and serene experience.
LEVEL: This class is suitable for all levels. Classes are challenging yet accessible and provide a thorough introduction to a Hatha-style class.
VINYASA + MEDITATION (75 MIN)
Our Vinyasa + Meditation classes provide the ultimate mind-body connection by combining one hour of movement with 15-minutes of savasana, pranayama, and meditation. Each class is a perfect balance between attention to alignment and a fluid and graceful flow. Connecting poses together and flowing with the breath creates a dance-like movement that builds heat in the body and calmness in the mind. After the initial warm-up, a creative sequence of standing postures and sun salutations will fill the majority of the class. Sequences include warrior poses, back bends and some basic balances and inversions. Each class ends with deep stretches and a relaxing savasana before your final meditation.
LEVEL: This is an intermediate level class that moves at a faster pace than our Vinyasa. More advanced poses will be offered for those who wish to take the practice further. For those who are new to practicing yoga, we recommend taking our Vinyasa class.
INFRARED HEATED POWER VINYASA
Our Infrared Heated Power Vinyasa classes are intended to give you a challenging yet accessible workout. These classes will include a variety of standing poses, basic balances, back bends, twists and a good amount of strength-building poses. Each class will be slightly different, depending on the teacher's unique style. You can count on a good workout, with a blissful and well-deserved savasana to get you ready to face the day ahead. Short but sweet!
LEVEL: This class is suitable for all levels. Although the class is physically challenging, it will consist of more basic poses and transitions. Complicated and advanced inversions will not be explored in these classes.
Infrared heat is lightly heated and has many therapeutic effects on the human body. These include detoxification, pain relief, reduction of muscle tension, relaxation, improved circulation, weight loss, skin purification, lowered side effects of diabetes, boosting of the immune system and lowering of blood pressure.
VIN YIN (VINYASA + YIN)
This class will begin with an all-levels Vinyasa flow to build heat in the body with attention to alignment and fluidity, and a conscious connection to the breath. This dance-like movement will be followed by a juicy Yin Yoga sequence, focused on healing the body and mind through deep relaxation and stillness to release mental, emotional, and physical stress. Yin postures are generally held for 3 to 5 minutes, and are incredibly effective for creating space and promoting healing in both the body and the mind. A perfect balance of Yang & Yin!
LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.

RESTORATIVE YOGA CLASSES - YIN | REIKI | AERIAL | VINYASA
AERIAL LOW FABRIC DEEP STRETCH
This class combines both active and restorative stretches to create more flexibility in the muscles and greater range of motion for the joints. This full body stretch class will feature long holds and repetition through movement to get deep into muscles that need to be released.
This class is perfect for those looking to gain more flexibility and to release stress and tension in the body and joints. The class will flow through different areas of the body, using the low level fabric as both a support and a tool to allow full release of the muscles. After a gentle warm up, the class will peak with some active and powerful stretches and then end with a relaxing slow paced restorative style of movement with the support of props to allow deep relaxation in the body and mind.
All levels welcome!
LOW FABRIC RESTORE (AERIAL)
The intention of this class is to release stress in the body and create calm in the mind.
Using the aerial yoga hammock as both a support and prop, we will move gently and mindfully through a range of poses that will provide deep release for the body and encourage our minds to slow down and be more present. Poses will be held longer, with an encouragement to move gently with the breath. Think yin style yoga, in a hammock. Props will be used for extra support and comfort throughout the class. These classes are intelligently sequenced to be gentle, and calming, it is a very therapeutic and mindful aerial yoga class. By moving at a slower pace, you will enable your body to open up not only physically, but mentally and emotionally as well.
With the fabrics set to knee height, the inversions are much gentler and less intense than those that we do in the regular Aerial classes with hip height fabric. This class is great for beginners, and if you are looking to stretch and relax and decompress then this class is for you! All ages, all bodies welcome.
YIN & SOUND HEALING
Our Yin classes focus on healing the body and mind through deep relaxation and release of mental, emotional, and physical stress. Yin Yoga postures gently stretch and rehabilitate connective tissues. This class is spent mostly on the ground, with only stretching poses, each pose held for 3 to 5 minutes. It can be more of a mental challenge rather than physical as it forces you to slow down and be still - something that the majority of us find very difficult! This class is accompanied by sound healing, using instruments like the crystal bowls to energetically unwind and relax the body.
LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.
RESTORATIVE YOGA
This restorative class will guide you through a gentle sequence with longer holds and deeper postures. Moving at a slower pace with attention to breath, alignment, and self-care will be emphasized, as well as chanting and meditation. Props will be encouraged to assist in creating a relaxing environment best suited for the individual body and needs. Both dynamic and static postures will be explored, encouraging adaptability and release of expectations. You will learn to listen to your body, quiet the mind, and open the heart, as you leave feeling nourished and relaxed.
LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.
YOGA NIDRA
Yoga Nidra, also known as yogic sleep, is a powerful meditative practice in which practitioners move through the koshas, or energetic layers that house the soul, to unite the conscious, subconscious, unconscious, and superconscious minds. During yoga nidra, practitioners enter the theta wave stage of sleep and experience deep relaxation. Nidra offers lots of healing benefits such as stimulating the production of HGH - restoring the body, improved sleep, release of tension and pain, and has also proven to be supportive for those who experience PTSD, depression, and anxiety. During this class, participants will be lead through a slow flow to release excess energy before dropping into a deep meditation combined with sound therapy.
LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.
LEVEL: All levels.

LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.
QI GONG
Qigong is an ancient Chinese exercise and healing technique that involves meditation, controlled breathing, and movement exercises. The aim of Qigong is to promote the movement of Qi (energy) in the body. This is done by opening certain gates and stretching and twisting energy channels. A key point in Qigong practice is relaxation and deep breathing, both of which are prerequisites to allow Qi to flow.
LEVEL: Suitable for all levels. Beginners welcome.
HANDSTANDS

Eventually, find a moment of flight as you lift yourself upside down, experiencing complete presence while balancing on your hands.
