Class Descriptions
Go With the Flow/45-Minute Fluid Flow
Go With the Flow is a breath based, flow inspired class available for all levels of yogis! Dropping IN TO the body and OUT of the mind to let your thoughts melt away. Letting sun salutations and the stretchy goodness of moving asanas guide you to feeling more open and available to whatever else may exist in your days. This practice is yours, the teacher is there to help you feel more complete and more in tune to your body, your practice and ultimately everything else that makes you, YOU.
Stretch + Breathe
This class provides a gentle way to end the week and begin the next. The instructor will guide the class through a series of muscle-activating stretches that vary in depth, promoting a foundation of functional movement, as well as a deepening of your relationship with your body. The class may also explore "marma-yoga" accessing the body's pressure points. This class is spiritual and introspective in nature so come prepared to sit with your body, mind, and spirit a little more by the end of the class!
Good Morning Yoga
This class is based on principals of alignment, flexibility, strength, self-nurturing, and the development of confidence and mindfulness. All levels of yoga experience are honored, from beginner to intermediate. Modifications are offered to meet the individual needs of students in each class.
MOVEment Lab/LYT Yoga with Larisa
A blending of yoga and functional movement. This class is inspired by Larisa’s love of all things movement. The human body needs both stability and mobility to move freely. In this class we will utilize concepts of developmental movement and core integration so we can explore bigger movements on our mats and into our everyday lives. MOVEment Lab/LYT Yoga is inspired by Larisa’s certification in the LYT Method.
LYT Yoga is an energizing core-based vinyasa method created by physical therapist Lara Heimann. The specific blueprint of the LYT Method reestablishes postural imbalances and sets you up to move in a variety of ways.
Moderate & Slow Flow
This class is a moderate-to-intermediate class. Prior yoga experience is suggested. Students are encouraged practice self-honesty and moderation until breath and body are unified and efficient. A vigorous style of vinyasa, or continuous flow, brings the student from one posture to the next, with attention paid to careful alignment and personal experience of the poses. This class encourages strong core, balance, stability and expansion of stamina.
Saturday Morning Moving Meditation
In this class, one pose builds upon the other or counterbalances the previous pose. Breath-synchronized movement flow smoothly through transitions, dynamically encouraging students to let go of resistance, finding the lightness in each pose. Each student explores his or her own edge, leaning into it to find greater space and strength with each repetition. All fitness and experience levels are welcome in this class, with attention paid to modifications of poses, honoring each student’s experience level.
Lunch Break Classes
These classes are under one hour so that students can take a mid-day break and face the afternoon with renewed energy and purpose!
Slow Power Flow students can expect an invigorating physical practice of moving with the breath, accompanied by music, and allowing for some deep stretch and relaxation. One will leave class feeling accomplished, restored, and ready to face the rest of their day with equanimity.
Yoga Sculpt similar to Pilates, this is a core-centric exercise class that conditions the whole body! This class incorporates functional movement with the use of lightweights and props — all levels of experience are welcome.
Soundbath Meditation offered on Fridays, this is our specialty “zen” class to help you unplug before your weekend commences! Feel free to come in your work clothes or more comfortable clothing; this class is a prolonged resting savasana, listening to crystal singing bowls to find a state of deep restoration and meditation.
Donation Based Classes
Breathe Yoga & Pilates currently offers a donation-based warm community class on Saturday mornings at 10:30am. This is a slightly heated vinyasa class that is pay-what-you-can for non-studio members or pass holders. Join us for this class to see what the studio is about!
Basics and Beyond
This class explores basic postures that emphasize core strength, alignment, and proper breath. Intentional stretching of major joint systems replaces tension with softness. Basics & Beyond offers the student proper techniques that can be used to build a foundation, and can modified as the student grows in his or her yoga own practice. All levels of experience are welcome.
