Yoga Classes

who's it for? New & returning students to Iyengar yoga

In this dynamically paced class, we work with foundational poses and lots of movement as we begin a conversation with our body & mind through the practice of Iyengar Yoga.

Each class builds on the previous week, learning through both repetition and addition.

We explore movement and stability through standing & seated postures and beginning inversions.

This series can be repeated as many times as you like, creating a beautiful foundation for your home practice and further yoga studies.

who's it for? Those who carry a lifetime of wisdom in their bones & in their cells, and would like a slower paced class. Beginners Welcome.

In this class, we explore how to:

• create mobility and stability in the body and mind
• build up our strength and stamina
• and quiet the brain even when the body is active.

And we do all that with lots of joy and laughter. You don't need to be an elder to join this class. Elders in training welcome too.

Each month around the New Moon, you can rest. About 13-22% of every month is the menstrual phase of your cycle, for decades of your life. In this practice, you’ll learn how to create space and softness in your abdomen, reduce low back pain and cramps, and allow the body and mind to surrender to a new start each month. This restorative class is a gift, whether you menstruate or not. Join the New Moon and begin a new cycle again.

❤ Time & Day will change each month, just like the moon and our cycles 🌒
