Serious athletes, people with limited mobility, & everyone in between can benefit from this class. Careful strengthening and breath awareness is the focus of these classes. We will modify to accommodate all levels & props are used to both support & challenge students.

A yoga practice inspired by Kundalini Yoga designed to give you great energy all day.

Iyengar yoga is known for its attention to detail and precise focus on body alignment. It is pioneered the use of props to make the practice more accessible for all people. This is designed to cultivate strength, flexibility, stability and awareness and can be therapeutic.

In each of us dwells a powerful Creative Energy – It typically lies dormant. Kundalini yoga is a practice for awakening this energy. As it is ignited, it can support us in living to our full Creative Potential. Learning how to allow this energy to flow through us (and into our lives) can guide us in so many ways!

A 40 minute lite therapeutic vinyasa practice designed to enhance the rest of your day! (in Agni Yoga Studio/not Hot Yoga)

This NEW combination class will offer you some Restorative Yoga, some Yin Yoga, and Meditation. A wonderful experience guaranteed. All you need is an open heart. No experience necessary. All Levels welcome.

Links breath and movement through Sun Salutations and postures of all types. The smooth continuous flow deepens breathing, increases endurance and will test the edge of your balance & flexibility letting you feel clear, fit, and peaceful.

A heart-centered style which powerfully blends principles of alignment with an uplifting philosophy celebrating the uniqueness of students of all levels of ability and experience.

A perfect compliment to Yang practices. Some standing poses introduced mid-class, most poses are seated, supine, or prone and held with muscles relaxed for several minutes. This allows the more dense connective tissue to be addressed, increasing mobility, joint health & overall wellness.

Adds Hatha Yoga with some Yin poses.
