yoga class types
Believers Blend
-
55 minutes.
The Believers’ Blend is our signature yoga flow. It draws on multiple yoga styles to craft a balanced daily flow, intended to both relax and stimulate. It is a great way for beginners (who usually stick with slow flows and gentle yoga) to dip their toe into the beneficial challenge of power yoga, while athletic yogis can get a taste of more calming movement without fully sacrificing their power flow. It is also perfect for the yogi who simply loves the practice as a whole and wants to experience a myriad of styles packed within a single daily practice.
Believers’ Blend feels like a nourishing yet energizing adventure through
slow + fast
deep + dynamic
meditative + strengthening
Slow Flow
-
55 minutes.
Slow flow yoga classes have a rhythm without the rush. They are mindful and stress-relieving, and they build up subtle warmth in the body with an approachable steadiness. This gradual pace offers time in and in-between poses to perfect alignment and settle in just a little deeper, making the class a great option for beginners.
As the name suggests, we slow down to tune in with the mind-body connection.
Power Flow
-
55 minutes. Must have some yoga experience.
Power yoga is the detoxifying “workout” of the yoga classes, with an emphasis on standing postures, fundamental for developing into advanced postures. The vinyasa rhythm flows at a pace meant to lift the heart rate, intentionally working to activate the sympathetic nervous system and create more balance by the end.
We work hard sensitively, working with - not against - our personal boundaries, to move into energy, vitality, and freedom. This work can move us toward healing that comes when you honor the individual experience and create an atmosphere conducive to natural expansion and growth.
In power yoga, we face our human limitations of today and press in to find what lives on the other side of fear.
Gentle Yoga
-
55 minutes.
Gentle yoga is umbrella term for yoga styles which have a super slow pace and short number of long holding asanas. These classes can be yin yoga, restorative yoga, or some variation of both.
The comfortable pace in our gentle yoga classes allows you to discover what feels right and listen to your body. Softer in nature, classes are non-strengthening, minimal, and offer a heavy emphasis on deep opening + release. The focus on breath-work, long holds, and quiet contemplation has a lovely way of balancing out the central nervous system.
Particularly beneficial for individuals who are dealing with injuries, discomfort, limited mobility, or other health problems.
fitness class types
Body Build
-
30 minutes. All levels.
Body Build classes do exactly as the name suggests: build the body into its strength potential. These short + sweet classes blend fitness training with yoga concepts, building strength and muscle the yogi way -- holistically, with breath as a pillar. Expect low-impact, calisthenic-style work drawing from training classics as well as creative movement you might find in yoga sculpt and mat pilates. Designed to support a stronger yoga practice and weight training potential.
Barefoot is okay (even encouraged, to build strength in the feet). Free weights and resistance bands are good to have on hand for an extra challenge if desired, but not necessary.
Cardio Flow
-
All levels. Friendly to all in reasonable physical health.
This is your 30-minute cardio class, meant to keep you continuously moving and get your blood and lymph pumping! The challenge will expand your respiratory capacity and ultimately support nervous system regulation. Expect steady, low-impact full body movement and probably some sweat.

Those with heart conditions should consult their doctor before a cardio pump like this.
integrative design
Class types are designed to synergistically work well with the others, while still maintaining their own daily standalone value.
Happy moving, believers!
