7:15 pm – KUNDALINI YOGA & MEDITATION

This offering includes mindful movement, postures, breath work, chanting and meditation. Each class will have a different theme to increase vitality. Exercises may be adapted to all levels. Beginners welcome!

Slowly,  mindfully move through classic Hatha postures for this early evening class.  The philosophy for this offering is “the only perfect pose is the one that fits your own body. Yoga offers an opportunity to explore what the body can do rather than what it can’t. It creates the space to explore what we carry, who we are and how we relate to the universe.”

WEDNESDAY

6pm – BARRE 

What is Buti? Many have referred to it as their “soulmate workout”. Buti is an ancient Indian Marathi word meaning, “something that has been hidden or covered”. Originally stemming from the ancient practices of Ayurvedic medicine, it has mindfully been chosen as the word to describe this physical practice.

Buti incorporates the best parts of all exercises to give you the best workout; a combination of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training), tribal dance, Vinyasa yoga, and plyometrics – all done to upbeat music!

But, it’s much more than the physical side. The movements and the music are what you choose to make of it, and as you continue this practice you will find that you may change how you view yourself and the world around you. This practice is much more than shaking our [buti]es to good beats, though it will give you a great butt! More so, it is about uncovering the badass goddess we all embody, and supporting one another in that soulful transformation.

THURSDAY

12pm – SLOW VINYASA FLOW 

Luxurious, awakening mid-day slow flow. This class is great for those new to yoga as well as anyone looking for a gently-paced Vinyasa flow. Come ready to enjoy meditation, breath work, and a series of sun-salutation, twists, and lengthening stretches intended to awaken the body, mind, and spirit.

5:30 pm – VINIYOGA 

A low intensity flowing practice,  linking breath to movement,  with emphasis on stabilizing the low back & sacral area,  working with breath to move into and out of postures.  Great for beginners and adaptable for those with injury.

Viniyoga loosely means  “proper application and adaptation” in accordance with the individual. Each day we are different,  every body in every yoga class is different.  How can we work with our bodies and optimize our breaths to find the most effective form and function in every posture?  In our drop in classes,  this means the asana practice (postures/movement) will be a low intensity,  flowing practice that builds stability in the low back/sacral area,  links breath and movement,  offers modifications with props and/or alignment to suit your body – not to try and fit your body into something that doesn’t work.  This class is an opportunity to build strength gently,  deepen awareness to the breath and start exactly where you are.

7:00 pm – YIN YOGA TUNE UP

All level yoga flow – Yin style.  Less postures and more time in each gives every body a chance to “tune up” connective tissues,  joints and energies.  Great for athletes,  busy people,  the stressed,  the fidgety and the curious.  All levels welcome (many postures can be converted into a restorative version as needed).  Inspired in part by Sarah Powers Insight Yoga “interweaving the insights and practices of Yoga, Buddhism, Taoism, and Transpersonal Psychology into an integral practice.”

FRIDAY 

12pm SLOW VINYASA FLOW 

Luxurious, awakening mid-morning slow flow. This class is great for those new to yoga as well as anyone looking for a gently-paced Vinyasa flow. Come ready to enjoy meditation, breath work, and a series of sun-salutation, twists, and lengthening stretches intended to awaken the body, mind, and spirit.

6pm – 2nd Fridays beginning in July –  PLANT BASED YOGA + Vegan Potluck (7pm) 

Compassionate beings unite (all are welcome – being vegan is NOT a requirement)!  In this class we will explore a lighthearted,  gentle flow + Yin practice to stretch out,  find balance and build community.  We will begin our practice with a common intention: to reduce suffering in all beings and increase compassion.  After our physical practice we will do a powerful, compassionate, heart-centered meditation technique to send healing and goodwill to ourselves,  our neighbors,  our world and possibly even to our enemies. After class we’ll share in plant-based refreshments (both provided by Imbue Yoga and potluck style if you want to bring something to share).   

SATURDAY

10:30 am – Serene Saturday *ending 6/23 

Amidst the chaos of the weekend and bustle from local events, come take part in a moment of serenity and reset your alignment with gentle introspective yoga.

Explore a deeper understanding of poses, ask questions, and discover movement that speaks to you.

10:30am Yoga for People of Color begins 7/14

Together students work with the natural breath through yoga and meditation.  On the mat, we shed our minority status and find compassion in self-expression and exploration beyond perceived limitations.  We create room for healing through togetherness, belonging and community – to simply be with the body and the breath; Finding what lives within us to flourish beyond our practice.

This is a safe space for the PoC community and we thank everyone for supporting our shared empowerment through a healing space.  Hate is unwelcome and will not thrive here in our community.

Sliding Scale $7-15

1 pm – YOGA BASICS w/ rotating instructors 

New to yoga?  Been on and off to a few classes throughout your life and need a tune up?  Recovering from injury or want to support a friend who is new to yoga?  This class is for you!  Ever week we will cover basics:  foundation,  breathing,  alignment.  We will focus on breaking down certain postures,  learn some of the sanskrit names,  incorporate meditation and breath work from time to time.  Sometimes there will be guest teachers sharing their different yoga styles & philosophies so that you can experience something different every week and get more of a perspective on “what a yogi looks like.”  Dress in clothes you can breathe and move in!  This will be one of the most non-intimidating yoga classes you can find 🙂
