“We’re here to make your yoga experience modern, athletic and therapeutic. We are an architecturally award-winning yoga studio focused on mindfulness and therapeutic movement.”.
Vinyasa Flow
These classes focus on matching the pace of your breath with the movement of your body. We usually start in meditation, child’s pose or we work on some type of pranayama (breathing exercise). Once the mind is a bit more settled, we start moving. The first half of the class is about flow where we move in unison with the breath, e.g. when we inhale we are in a particular pose and when we exhale we move to a different pose. The pace matches the breath. We usually include sun salutation A and a variation of sun salutation B, depending on the focus of the class. Then we hold poses for a bit longer: about 3 to 5 breaths in standing, seated or supine poses. The final part of the class is usually done in a supine or seated position with long-held stretches. All Vinyasa classes end with a savasana – complete relaxation – followed sometimes by a meditation depending on your teacher. Most vinyasa flow classes are 75 minutes long except the Wednesday evening one which is 60 minutes long.
Yin
Yin classes are specifically designed to open and stretch the whole body. This class suits those new to yoga, pregnant woman or those wishing to indulge in longer deeper stretches. This class will restore, repair and rebalance you while toning and conditioning the body and calming the mind. This practice is very challenging as it is a lot more introspective. We hold poses for anytime between 3 and 5 minutes which can seem an eternity. Most of us are ready for the next pose after thirty seconds…Mind training, awareness and meditation are a big part of our yin practice. All our yin classes are an hour long.

Hatha Flow
In a hatha class, we use a lot of repetitions and add on to each pose to work towards a final peak pose. The pace is slower than vinyasa flow. If you are new to yoga or would like to get back into yoga, it is a good class to get started with. These classes are physically challenging but because the focus is not so much on breath to movement, it is open to all levels. All our hatha classes are an hour long.

Once a month, we offer a unique 60 minute experience of calm, tranquility and relaxation through gentle yin yoga postures and the soothing sounds of acoustic guitar and vocals. We ask local talents to play mellow contemporary tunes live and a teacher takes you through a series of Yin postures. The quality of the acoustics at the studio coupled with the serene surroundings create a unique, relaxing and unforgettable experience.
