- Vinyasa Flow -
A dynamic, breath‑led practice designed to build heat from the inside out. The term "vinyasa" (विन्यास) in Sanskrit translates to "to place in a special way." This class moves through strong, rhythmic sequences that awaken your muscles, elevate your heart rate, and stoke your inner fire. Expect creative transitions, steady pacing, and moments of challenge that invite you to practice with strength and curiosity. This practice encourages transition from one posture to another, creating the harmonious flow. Each movement is linked to an inhalation or exhalation. You'll experience both foundational postures and creative variations that will strengthen, open, and restore your body and mind. This delivers a well-rounded and total body experience.
Class begins with a gradual warm up, moving into a flow through standing poses, core‑integrated movement, and heat‑building sequences that cultivate both power and presence. The practice winds down with grounding stretches and Savasana to leave you feeling energized, clear, and deeply alive.
Ideal for students who enjoy a spirited practice that strengthens the body, sharpens focus, and builds sustainable internal heat through mindful movement.
- All Levels Flow -
An all-levels yoga flow is a well-rounded vinyasa practice that offers clear, accessible foundations alongside optional layers of challenge, allowing each student to choose the variation that meets their energy, experience, and needs that day. The class emphasizes breath‑linked movement, mindful pacing, and a balance of strength, mobility, and ease, encouraging peacefulness in body and mind. A variety of standing, seated and reclined postures are sequenced into a flow, with modifications offered.
- Easy Flow -
This class is built for those newer to Yoga, as well as anyone wanting to build their experience in the foundation of Yoga Asana practice. A gentle, unhurried practice designed to help you move with ease and breathe more deeply. This class offers simple, flowing sequences that warm the body, release tension, and build a sense of quiet strength without strain. Expect clear guidance, smooth transitions, and plenty of space to pause, soften, and listen inward. We move just enough to wake up the body, stretch what feels tight, and settle the mind. Each class closes with grounding rest, so you leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and more at home in yourself.
Perfect for beginners, returning students, or anyone craving a calm, accessible flow that feels supportive and nourishing.
- Gentle Flow & Stretch -
The Gentle Yoga class offers a full, yogic practice which moves through a range of postures in an unhurried yet progressive tempo. This class blends gentle vinyasa movement with longer, mindful stretches, creating a balance of soft strength and deep release. We focus on finding our optimal alignment and creating movement from that place. Enhanced by breath work and props each class will also work on strengthening, lengthening and release. This is an ideal class for beginners, students with physical challenges who are uncomfortable in an all-level class or anyone desiring to calm the pace of their practice. Perfect for those who have just completed the Beginner's Series.
- Iyengar Yoga -
Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar (1918-2014), one of the modern yoga’s most revered teachers and practitioners. He helped bring yoga to the west with his pioneering teaching in the 60s and 70s and with his book Light On Yoga, which has served as a “bible of yoga” for generations of yoga students and teachers.
Iyengar yoga emphasizes precise alignment of all parts of the body within each yoga pose. B.K.S. Iyengar taught that alignment awakened the intelligence of the body, deeply engaged the mind, and helped students penetrate and harmonize the physical, mental, and spiritual “layers” of the self. He also greatly extended and refined the use of yoga props and was a pioneer and master of using yoga therapeutically.
Iyengar yoga is grounded in the ancient Indian art of yoga. Iyengar Yoga teaches not only yoga poses (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama), but all eight “limbs” of classical yoga, which range from ethical practices to meditative absorption.
Iyengar Yoga teachers are held to an unusually rigorous standard. Certification as an Iyengar Yoga Teacher requires years of training and evaluation. We are trained to teach proper alignment of the body, to use props to modify the poses and teach specific actions, and to incorporate all the limbs of yoga into our teaching to help students penetrate and harmonize all the layers of the self.
- Beginner Level Flow -
This class is built for those newer to Yoga, as well as anyone wanting to build their experience in the foundation of Yoga Asana practice. An unhurried practice designed to help you move with ease and breathe more deeply. This class offers simple, flowing sequences that warm the body, release tension, and build a sense of quiet strength with proper alignment. Expect clear guidance, smooth transitions, and plenty of space to pause, soften, and listen inward. We will introduce and move through standing, seated and grounding postures as moving meditation, using breathwork to guide each movement.
- Slow Flow -
Slow Flow Vinyasa is a slower pace class, mindfully movements connected with the breath, while holding poses longer than a traditional vinyasa flow. You will be guided through each Asana slowly and mindfully. Transitions between and longer held poses are intentionally linked to the breath. This slower paced class allows time to explore the postures while cultivating strength, flexibility, balance and calm. This class allows you to explore deepening your postures and will strengthen and lengthen muscles with a gentle approach. Slow Flow is all about slowing down and concentrating on your mind-body connection.
- Yin Yoga -
Yin Yoga is a complementary yoga practice to more dynamic and active yoga styles. In Yin Yoga, floor postures are held passively for several minutes in order to access a safe and positive ‘stress’ on the deeper layers of connective tissue in the body. Physically, Yin Yoga restores and maintains the natural mobility of the joints, primarily between the navel and the knees. Energetically, Yin Yoga opens the body’s meridian system, which enhances the body’s energetic flow and supports emotional equilibrium. Yin Yoga emphasizes stillness and silence. The practice prepares both the body and mind for deeper experiences in meditation.
- Core Awakening Yoga -
This practice is built on creating strength from the core and is suited for all ages and abilities. Classes may be focused around hip openers, gentle back bends, or twists followed by a guided savasana.
- Restore & Renew -
This 90-minute class will begin with a seated meditation focusing on breath control (pranayama). A short period of gentle movements will lead to several restorative postures. Each posture is 5-10 minutes long, where props (bolsters, blankets, blocks) will be used to allow the joints and muscles to be completely supported, allowing for gentle relaxation and opening. Reiki and light touch energy bodywork will be offered throughout the class and an extended savasana will complete the evening.
- Gentle Core Flow -
A series of yoga poses and Pilates exercises that will help develop core strength. A strong core can assist in one's yoga practice as well as many other physical activities.
- Chair Yoga for Every-Body -
An adaptable style of Yoga Flow utilizing the assistance and support of props - particularly a chair. The class is adapted to be practiced with the support of a chair - or without! This class is a great way to work on building strength and balance and is suitable for all levels of yogis.
- Easy Like Sunday Morning -
A Beginner - Intermediate class with a long warm-up, slow steady flow, a restorative cool down and extended Savasana with Crystal Singing Bowls. The perfect way to ease into your Sunday morning!
- Somatic Yoga -
Somatic Yoga - In somatic yoga, we utilize slow movements practiced in isolation and without force to expand awareness and increase physical vitality. We build on fine articulated movement to build somatic intelligence, proprioceptive awareness and neuroplasticity. Done mostly on the floor, we will use sliding, gliding, stretching and unwinding movements to soak and replenish the tissues, reduce fatigue, heal imbalances, and align the vertebral column.
-Forrest Yoga-
Breath - It all starts with the ability to connect to, deepen, and ride the breath into your inner wildness. Develop the ability to breathe into areas of your body that are in need of energy and healing.
Integrity - Forrest Yoga teaches you to become proficient at tailoring each pose to work for you. By learning to work honestly with your edges, you develop effective tools to deal with fear and resistance, making self awareness and curiosity a part of your daily life.
Strength - Connect to your core and build emotional and physical strength as you soften into your edges.
Spirit - Remember your spiritual center and strengthen the connection. Bring the body that you have, not the one you wish you had, as well as a hand towel, water and a sense of humor as we experience the four pillars of Forrest Yoga along with its basic moves. This class is set to 80 degrees to support the softening and relaxation of the body. We will end with an extended savansana.
-Chakra Balancing Restorative for the Spring Equinox-
This 2-hour practice will begin with gentle stretching, then move into a full restorative practice, focusing on our energy centers called chakras, followed by a guided Yoga Nidra practice and a Crystal Singing Bowl sound bath.
Restorative Yoga is a receptive practice that prioritizes stillness, relaxation, and a calmer state of mind without any discomfort, stress, strain, injury of risk or pain. Poses will be held for several minutes using props to fully support you and maximize comfort, allowing you to completely let go and create a pathway for restorative balance.
Yoga Nidra, practiced lying down, is a guided meditation that induces progressive full-body relaxation and inner awareness. Clinical research has shown the effectiveness of Yoga Nidra in improving sleep, balancing the nervous system, and managing chronic pain. Yoga Nidra and Restorative Yoga together, cultivate a profound sense of joy, peacefulness and well-being.
It is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing and refrain from eating a large meal two- hours prior to the workshop.
