Focused on building core strength, increasing spinal and hip mobility and improving posture. We move through exercises with our breath focusing on form and control. The class starts with a short meditation and activation followed by a flow through a variety of exercises and a cool down at the end of class. Unlike the vinyasa yoga classes, we will spend a longer time flowing in and out of a movement to get the most impact. The movements can range from something simple such as lifting up one leg with every inhale to very challenging such as control balance (one of Pilates originals). The tone of the class is calm like a yoga class to allow you to focus on your breath. We may use blocks or small weights to increase the difficulty of exercises.

The yoga classes are designed to build strength, flexibility, and focus through fluid movement synchronized with breath. Rooted in the Ashtanga tradition, we will guide you through familiar flows that refine your practice and gradually build confidence. Occasionally, we will explore more creative sequences keeping your body and mind engaged. Each class includes a brief meditation - either to center you before practice or to help you settle afterward — while focused breathwork cultivates a moving meditation that supports both physical and mental clarity. The latter supported by research showing multiple benefits: improved brain health, reduced depression and stress. Whether you are an experienced yogi or a newcomer, this class provides a thoughtful, evidence-based way to cultivate strength, calm, and resilience both on and off the mat.
