We offer a range of classes for any level of experience or ability. (* Denotes class in some level of heat)
Vinyasa Flow
- I want a class that welcomes all levels
- I am intimidated by the heat, and am not ready for that challenge
- Why would I practice in the heat – not for me
Come and discover what it feels like to have your breath transform your heart beat, the effects of calming your mind, and feel your body and mind in yoga postures. Our teachers are specialized in giving you one on one assistance and creating an atmosphere of non judgment as you begin your yoga journey. This class is great for anyone wanting to understand postures, breath work, learn about Sanskrit and yoga philosophy, and your first “aha” moment.
Heated Vinyasa*
- I want to deepen my existing practice
- I like practicing in heat
- I want to learn headstand, shoulder stand and much more!
This class is designed for the practitioner that has an established vinyasa practice and is ready for another level of challenge. Arm balances, inversions, twists and binds await you! Our teachers bring their passion, life lessons, music that melts your soul, and yoga philosophy to your practice. They will guide you through a heated vinyasa that heightens your breath, strength, flexibility and your ability to “Just Be”. You will deepen your postures, learn to bring your practice introspectively, heighten your knowledge that yoga is a “yoking between mind and body.
Morning Vinyasa*
- I want to start my day off with a clear mind
- I am an early riser and want to welcome the day with yoga
- I want a class that welcomes all levels of practitioners
Awake your muscles, mind and spirit and start your day off balanced and fresh. Morning vinyasa is offered in heat to help you externally sweat away the toxins. Sun salutations to welcome the new day mixed with postures designed to rinse and open your sleepy body.
Hot Yoga: 60 Minutes *
- I want to deepen and hold my postures
- I want to slow down my practice
- I want to compress my body and relax
This class is designed for the practitioner that enjoys holding asanas and receiving maximum benefits, effort and relaxation after holding each asana. Traditional hot yoga consists of 26 postures that are efficiently designed to scientifically warm and stretch your muscles, ligaments and tendons. Different from vinyasa yoga where asanas are connected by breath in a fluid ever changing flow; traditional hot’s asanas are the same every time. The sequence of postures are designed to open your heart, strengthen your spine, stimulate your internal organs and detoxify your body.
Restorative
- I am often stressed
- I believe sweating will change my life
- I am very good at multi-tasking
Research shows that relaxation is key to healing body and mind. Restorative Yoga uses props to support the whole body so that you can relax deeply into the yogic state of pratyahara, withdrawal from the senses. Restorative Yoga will regulate your nervous and your endocrine systems. In a one-hour class, we will do only 3 or 4 supported poses. We will experience being in the posture. Dress in layers of loose clothing (specific yoga clothes not necessary) and wear socks. You will leave class feeling relaxed, refreshed, and renewed, yet you won’t need to change your clothes or take a shower. Everyone welcome!

In this “anything goes” fusion class, based on some underlying Lotte Berk principles, we integrate the fat burning format of interval training, the muscle shaping technique of isometrics, the elongating principles of dance conditioning, and muscle carving full body SPRI tube work, which quickly and safely reshapes your entire body.

This class utilizes a ballet bar, spri tubes, pilates balls, and your own body weight to build a beautiful body! Please bring your yoga mat to this class!
