Continuing: This class is designed to guide you to move into relaxation, wellness, flexibility, balance, strength, and comfort in the body and mind through postures and breathing techniques.

Drop-ins: Experienced students may take individual classes at a $15.00 drop-in.
Continuing instructor: Shari Gass
Meditative Stillness:
A most gentle movement will help you bring your awareness into your body and connect you with your breathing. Sitting on a chair or lying on your yoga mat, Simone guides you into your stillness where you will remain for 20 uninterrupted minutes. You have 5 additional minutes to write down ideas/inspirations/memories before Simone gently guides you to integrate the experience and to continue with your day fully alert, calm and at ease.
Meditative Stillness instructor: Simone Yeomans
Vinyasa Flow Yoga: This class includes classic and creative salutations with mindful alignment and attention to the breath. We warm the body with lots of movement and make time to incorporate stillness. Challenge yourself and tap into your playfulness. Prior experience preferred.
Vinyasa Flow Yoga instructor: Shari Gass

Yin Yoga for Balanced Meridians: This class is designed to use the slow, gentle, and relaxing Yin Yoga Asanas to help remove any stagnant qi from the body.
Holding Yin Yoga poses for a longer period of time, targeting specific areas, help qi moves through our bodies in paths called Meridians.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, Balanced Meridians promote physical health, emotional calm, and mental clarity.
Instructor: Hana Razzaq
Yoga for Every Body: This class is designed specifically to be accessible to a wider variety of bodies than a traditional yoga class. The space we will create together will be a space focused on exploring movement and calming the mind. Every body is a good body worthy of care and love.
Yoga for Every Body instructor: Lacey J. Davidson
