Vinyasa II
Vinyasa II is perfect for seasoned beginners and intermediate practitioners who are ready to expand their practice. Expect a dynamic class with opportunities for advanced asana in a 90° room.
​
Gentle Yoga
Gentle Yoga is a soft, well-supported practice. Slow transitions allows yogis to connect with their breath and relax their minds. This class is appropriate for all levels of ability and experience.

The practice brings about a relaxed state where there is no movement and the brain is quiet. Attendees are fully supported with props so they can experience a deep sense of relaxation.

Vinyasa I
This slow-paced flowing practice connects breath to movement. Levels 1 is perfect for those who are either new to vinyasa yoga or prefer a gentler, more descriptive class.

Fitness
Barre
