Yoga Release
All levels.

Born out of Yoga for Runners, this gentle, low-intensity class will complement any active body. We'll move through joint mobilization, gentle flows, self-myofascial release, one or two strengthening postures, and finally settle into some static stretching. This yoga class will loosen tight spots, especially the hips, and help increase fluidity of movement. For those who haven't tried yoga, this 'almost-yoga' class is a great introduction to some of the postures and will bring your body’s strength and flexibility into harmony. We’ll generally focus more on the lower body. You'll leave feeling some Zen.
Slow Flow Yoga
All levels.
Wednesdays, 12:10-12:50 p.m.
A gentle class suitable for beginners and anyone wanting to slow down, including seniors and those recovering from injuries or in sports rehabilitation. This vinyasa based class will move slowly through various postures connecting you gently with your breath and body. Sequences will allow you to move within your current range of motion.
SUP Yoga
Next session: TBA
$25 (bring your own board)
$35 (with board rental)
SUP yoga is both relaxing and a challenging full-body workout. Enjoy a float on calm, sheltered water, while working on your balance in a way you can’t find in a standard yoga class.
Restorative Yoga
Low intensity.
Returning soon
Originally designed to help with recovery from illness or injury, Restorative Yoga encourages deep relaxation and meditation to restore health and peace of mind by finding the power of inner healing. It may feel like you are doing nothing but the effects are undeniable. Please wear comfortable (warm) clothing. Socks are recommended.
