Center Yoga

  • Center Yoga is a modern interpretation of classical yoga— matching breath with movement, mastery through repetition and held poses, and the use of props in the belief that yoga is for all bodies. Look forward to a balanced practice that incorporates aspects of breathwork, heating, and cooling postures.

Yoga Sculpt

  • Build strength and tonify muscle groups as you move through yoga postures. You’ll combine optional weights with Power Yoga sequencing to intensify each yoga pose while mixing in calethetic moves like squats, crunches, and pushups.

Open Practice

  • Slow down and let go. Candle Lit Yin is a gentle, restorative 75-minute practice held in the warm glow of candlelight, designed to help you release tension and go inward. Using props to fully support the body, you'll sink into long-held stretches that target the deep connective tissues — melting away stress and leaving you feeling open, restored, and at peace.

  • A good place to put your yoga mat is in the back of the room, close to a door or side wall so you can use other students as a guide while practicing. We also encourage you to let the instructor know that it’s your first time. They’ll happily give you added guidance and assistance during class to ensure you’re practicing safely.

  • Arrive at the studio 10 minutes before class starts. We provide mats, small towels and water, or you can bring your own if you like! Wear fitted moisture wicking clothes.
