All Levels Vinyasa Yoga – This is our most common class, because we believe a good teacher should be able to achieve all of the goals of studios regardless of level or skill. Vinyasa classes allow the body to move with the breathe. The postures are linked in a continuous, challenging, and creative flow that combine strength and flexibility while toning the body and clearing the mind. Students are encouraged to listen to their own body as they explore their own edge and discover inner strength. No two classes are the same and the teachers are skilled at providing modifications for the newer student as well as offering cues for more experienced students looking to further their practice, that are completely options to the new yogi, or someone who has different goals for their yoga practice.

The slow flow allows the body to warm up, creating an opportunity for the body and mind to lose its restlessness so it is easier to settle into a place of stillness.
