Basic (level 1)
Basic classes are ideal for those who are newer to yoga or for those who are looking to take an in-depth look at the foundations of poses.  With a focus on holding poses and addressing proper body alignment, Basic classes emphasize quieting the mind, as well as developing strength, flexibility and ease in the body.

Basic Flow (level 2)
Bridging the gap between Basic and Flow, this class integrates the fundamentals of foundation found in a Basics class and incorporates the vinyasa fluidity and energy of a Flow class. This class is great for anyone seeking to branch out from Basics or strengthening their alignment in Flow.

Flow (Level 3)
A more vigorous-paced, active class which links poses together with the breath by combining sequences through fluid movements called vinyasa.  The vinysasa movements generate heat through the body, ideal for those looking for a more physical and mental challenge.  Inversions, arm balances, and backbends are incorporated into this sweaty, high energy class.  Room temperature is set to 78-85 degrees. Previous yoga experience is encouraged.
