ANUSARA
“Flowing with Grace,” “Flowing with Nature,” “Following your Heart.” 
A unique style of Yoga founded by John Friend in 1997, Anusara yoga is a school of hatha yoga which unifies a life-affirming Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness with Universal Principles of Alignment.  It will rejuvenate your spirit, invigorate your mind and strengthen your body, but most of all – open your heart!

ASHTANGA
“the eight-limbed path”
This is a sacred and traditional approach to practicing yoga.  Our non-aggressive classes focus on the primary series “Yoga Chikitsa” which is intended to cleanse the body, mind and spirit.  If you’re up for a challenge, this class is for you!

HATHA
“HA” (Sun) “THA”(Moon) - a science of yoga which purifies the whole physical
body by means of steadfastly balancing opposing energies through asana (posture), pranayama (breath discipline), mudra (gestures), bandha (energy locks) with
focus.  Classes move at a medium pace and offers profound insight into both the internal and external nature of all things.

PRENATAL/POSTNATAL
These classes are taught by certified prenatal yoga instructors and help soon-to-be mothers and recently new mothers to incorporate a loving practice into the miraculous process of pregnancy.  This is a supportive community environment where you can share this specific experience with others at any stage of your journey through motherhood.
For more information on attending yoga while pregnant, please see our faq page.

TANTRIC
"To weave or thread" the tantras (a set of texts like the sutras) reveal how everything in existence is woven together, a rich philosophy that integrates spiritual consciousness into all action and thought processes.  These classes are unique, thoughtful and focus on achieving an energetic effect for the body, mind, a spirit. They offer deep perspective into the whole practice in addition to challenging asana.
**Recommended for those new to yoga**

VINYASA
“To place in a special way” (often defined as “flow”)
