Hatha Yoga
​Tuesday | 10:45-11:45am
This session will slow down a little and allow you to spend longer in some of the postures. Classes will emphasize simplicity, repetition, and breath work as a means to increasing physical mobility and mental calm. Great for long term Yogis and those just getting started. Please bring a mat.

Hatha & yin Yoga
​Tuesday | 5:30-6:30pm
This session starts with traditional Hatha Yoga, focusing on musculature.  At the half way point, the focus will switch to Yin Yoga and will target your deep connective tissues (fascia, ligaments, and joints). The slower pace allows you stretch and lengthen those rarely-used tissues while also teaching you how to breathe through discomfort and sit with your thoughts. Please bring a mat.
