Class Descriptions
-
(Level 1)
Chair yoga involves simple movements performed seated and/or standing using one or two chairs. For those who coming down or up from the floor requires assistance or if it is not an option, the use of the chair offers access to practice. Gentle stretching, strengthening within a range of motion while in a chair and using it standing for balance and support. No experience needed.
-
An alignment-based Hatha practice with heart-centered themes. The practice is an integration of Anusara-inspired alignment principles with Tantric philosophy drawn primarily from Rajanaka Yoga (Douglas Brooks). Just as we are asked to engage more deeply with our body’s wisdom on the mat, Form & Flow also calls us to engage more deeply with our lives and our collective community.
Level I - includes basic poses and supportive cues. Slower-paced movement builds alignment, breath, and flow. Beginners always welcome.
Level I/II - is a beginner-intermediate class with clear cues and a moderate flow. Supports alignment, form, and expression.
Level II - is an intermediate-advanced class with stronger postures. Increases flexibility, strength, and stamina.
-
(Level 1 / All Levels)
Unwind and find grounding and peace with this all-levels yoga class. This class incorporates slower-paced movements and restorative poses, focusing on gently increasing strength, balance, and flexibility to allow the body to release and rejuvenate.
-
(Level 1/2 / Mixed Level)
This moderately-paced flow is welcoming for students of all levels. We will start with a centering, slow warm-up. Class usually includes some sun salutations, standing poses and a slow stretchy wind-down. Students are encouraged to go at their own pace, working with the body they have. Advanced options are offered for those who wish, and rest is encouraged for all when needed.
-
(Level 1 / All Levels)
An all levels class designed to safely address the unique demands of pregnancy and childbirth on physical, emotional, and spiritual levels. Includes breathwork, meditation, and physical (asana) practices to support pregnancy, labor, and postpartum. Each week starts with time to check in with and support fellow students. This is a welcoming space for queer and trans pregnant students; everyone is welcome in Prenatal Yoga.
No previous experience needed. All levels welcome.
-
(Level 1 / All Levels)
This class combines gentle, mindful movements, stretching, restorative poses and guided relaxation. The restorative poses are held longer and use props to encourage deep relaxation. Perfect for those who want to reduce stress or have physical concerns or injuries.
-
(Level 1)
Unwind and find grounding and peace with this level I yoga class. This class incorporates slower-paced movements focusing on alignment, strength, balance, and flexibility that allow the body to release and re-energize.
-
(Level 1/2)
Hatha meets Vinyasa in this strong, open, and revitalizing practice. Expect to move! Class is alignment-based with intermediate postures to build flexibility, strength, and stamina. The teacher may incorporate heart-centered themes.
-
(Level 1 / All Levels)
Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga where asanas are held for longer periods of time, up to several minutes. Yin poses are passive and involve a variety of seated and supine shapes; there is no aesthetic ideal. In Yin Yoga, we use gravity and the breath to safely stretch the connective tissues and create space in the joints, soothing the nervous system.
