Our Inspired Flow classes are not meant for students new to yoga. We highly encourage all new students (including those new to our studio) to take our intro to yoga series before embarking on a flow 1, 2 or mixed level class. Please check the schedule and choose a class that fits with your experience level. If you are unsure of where to begin, let us know so that we can assist you!
Intro to Inspired Yoga
The perfect introduction! Learn the basics of yoga: alignment, stretching, standing and seated poses, as well as breathing techniques. This class will ease students into an awareness of their own bodies through a gentle approach to classical yoga postures and stretches. Also wonderful for those who like their yoga to be gentle and not super-athletic! Strongly recommended for newcomers, seniors, pregnant women (with the instructor’s permission) and those with special needs. This class is open to anybody and is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and body types. Please come with an open heart!
Inspired Flow
A fun and invigorating style of yoga that explores the foundation of suryanamascar A and B with variations. Inspired Flow classes are high-energy, creative and carefully integrate the Inspired Flow of breath with movement of the spine; poses “flow” into one another. Great for people who enjoy constant movement with poses moving effortlessly from one into the next. Inversions are practiced in both Level 1 and 2 classes. Arm balances and more challenging standing poses are introduced with adjustments from the instructor. Beginners should consider taking a few Intro to Inspired Yoga classes before embarking on a Inspired Flow class.
Candlelight Yoga
A softer Inspired Flow class with less instruction, practiced in a room lit by candles. Unwind with this soothing free form yoga class set to music. Candlelight Yoga has a strong emphasis on breathing and meditation to help you feel recharged and even help you sleep better. All students are welcome. If you like, bring your favorite poem for the instructor to read in class.

Class Levels
- Intro to Inspired Yoga
Intro classes are for students who are brand new to yoga and want to learn the basics, have injuries, or those who just like to move a bit slower. Learn the fundamentals of basic yoga postures (with an emphasis on alignment), breath, and relaxation. Intro classes are taught as a 10-week series, but you are welcome to start at any time. Be sure to let the instructor know of any injuries or concerns. Most importantly, have fun. After completion of the Intro Series, you are welcome to take the series again or try a Level 1 or All Levels class. Ask your instructor for guidance to help you find a class that is just right for you! - Level 2
A faster-paced class that emphasizes a more challenging flow, sun salutations, floor work, inversions, arm balances and if you like… headstand and shoulderstand (other options will be offered). Some chanting, meditation and advanced breathing techniques may also be included. Be prepared to move your body and to sweat! Room may be warm to get the body limber and fluid. Students are never pushed, so feel free to go at your own pace and rest as needed. - All Levels

Expect a variety of levels in the class and various modifications given for more challenging poses. Please honor your own body and go at your own pace.
