Class Descriptions
Level 1
Our Level 1 classes are perfect for students who have never done yoga before or are fairly new to the practice of yoga. These classes move at a gentler pace with thorough instruction and attention to detail. Students begin to understand the fundamental principles of breathing and yoga postures.

This class is the first step towards building greater strength, flexibility, and stamina, while still providing detailed instruction. Ideal for beginning level students as well as more experienced students who enjoy a lighter practice.
Level 2
Intermediate classes are more rigorous and introduce greater flow in the sequences along with more advanced poses. Ideal for students who have an understanding of basic postures and breathing and are ready to deepen their practice.
