•“Sweaty Series” - HOT Yoga – A mix of Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa (“flow”) Yoga in a heated room.  Enjoy a little bit of everything mixed into a heated class.  Experience upbeat music, deep breathing, and have a great time while you get a yoga workout.         

           Mixed Levels

•“Night Cap” Yoga – Restorative Yoga - Nightcap is an easy wind down yoga class without the heat. There will be some flow and some deep stretching.   A relaxing and rejuvenating class for all levels, even the complete beginner.  Long holds and focused breathing will create a deeper range of motion.   It is only an hour long and is a great way to ease into your final relaxation of the day... Sleep.                                        All Levels Welcome

•“Primary Mix” – Ashtanga Yoga - This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with a progressive series of postures—a process producing intense internal heat and a profuse, purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs.   This class is the original Primary series taught with a mix of each teacher’s individual flare.
Mixed Levels Welcome

•“Intermediate Mix” – Ashtanga Yoga -  Moving beyond Primary Series?   This class is for you.  We could say it’s all of Second Series with a few additions and a few modifications mixed in.   This class is for the advanced yogi who wants to learn more and grow their practice.                                                                  Advanced Levels

•“Friday Night Flight” – This is a monthly master class offered for the Yogi/Yogini who wants to work on flight.  Come practice the art of floating through transitions, flying into  inversions and falling  - yes maybe sometimes-  falling gracefully.        

           Mixed Levels Welcome

•“Saturday Series” – Master Class -  These  Master Classes are offered monthly for  the Yogi/Yogini who wants to take a particular part of his or her practice and “workshop it”.   That simply means one will  isolate, focus, practice and eventually master the specifics offered in the class.  Examples:  Backbends, Inversions, Core Strength, etc.     

           Mixed Levels Welcome
