This practice invites you to find your own pace, guiding you towards a deeper awareness of common yoga postures while embracing the joy of fluid movement. By connecting the breath with mindful movement, you’ll cultivate a profound sense of balance and centeredness. This practice is more than just about flexibility and strength- it’s a journey towards a relaxed body and tranquil mind. Kick off your shoes and watch your progress grow week by week!

Low Flow with Sasha. This gentle vinyasa-style class focuses on three things: slow movement, low poses, and deep breaths. We'll move and flow slowly to hold poses longer, stay close to our mats for gentle movements with minimal intensity, and use deep breaths to help us stay grounded and present, supporting our movement.
Tuesday 6:15-7:15 PM
Flow to Relax with Chetana. A moving meditation that will move your body through a yoga flow that will connect with your breath. A yoga practice that will calm the mind from all the 'noise' that is constant in our tech-heavy lives. From flowing through the asanas you will be taken into Yin poses that will begin to bring stillness. This yoga practice will not only enhance your climbing but may transform it to take you to your next level. Sound healing bowls may be incorporated with a guided meditation.
