Our Classes

What to Expect

Classes at Yoga Home include asana (poses), adjustments or alignment assistance, and mindfulness. They may also include pranayama (breathing exercise) chanting, mantra, meditation and philosophy. Please notify the teacher at the beginning of class of any injuries you may have including recent surgeries, if you are pregnant and/or if you have preferences in regards to hands-on adjustments. We offer many different styles so you can expect to find a class suitable for your skill level, regardless of if you are a beginner or advanced.

Class Styles

Basics: alignment based, stationary class with a focus on foundational poses. Appropriate for beginners, seniors, minor injuries & those looking for something other than Vinyasa (or simply as a refresher on basic alignment principles of the poses). This class is appropriate for students of all ages, including children above the age of 12 who are accompanied by an adult.

Chair: a gentle form of yoga that is practiced seated on a chair or standing using a chair for support. Ideal for those seeking the physical and mental benefits of yoga who have limited mobility or balance as a result of the aging process, injury or other medical issues. Expect to experience the many benefits of practice, including stress reduction, increased flexibility and strength, and cultivating the mind-body connection.

Get Strong Flow: this class is meant to strengthen and mobilize your entire body! Specific attention to alignment, mindfully paced elements of vinyasa and the use of both traditional and non-traditional props will help to foster more resilience in  body, mind and spirit.

Gentle: this class uses slow, easy movement, and an emphasis on breathing to guide students into a closer connection with themselves and the world around them. The focus of this class is stress release and gentle stretching. This class is appropriate for students of all levels and ages, including beginners, seniors, and those with injuries.

Inversions & Arm Balances: a workshop style class which includes warm up, flow incorporating skill specific drills and techniques to build into a variety of inversions and arm balances.  We’ll use the wall and props to support you finding the shape in your body.  Not just for “intermediate/advanced” students, but those looking to enjoy the fun, playful and challenging aspects of the practice.

Meditation: Meditation is a universal practice, open and accessible to all. Benefits of meditation include reduced stress and tension, lowered blood pressure, strengthened nervous system, increased immunity, and an increase in overall health and happiness.

Power Flow: a vigorous practice in a heated room building strength and flexibility; this empowering and energetic flowing style of yoga is ideal for those who are looking for a sweaty, physical practice.  Appropriate for athletic beginners.

Prenatal:  this class helps prepare the body and mind for pregnancy, labor and delivery. This class is highly encouraged for pregnant women who are new to the yoga practice, as well as students with a more consistent practice that are looking to learn modifications and variations to support their practice throughout pregnancy.

Postnatal: this class helps women increase energy, release tension/stress held in specific parts of the body, and regain strength, all while being in community with other women. Appropriate for post birth and adoption. Each class will include movement, community building, breath work, and relaxation. It is recommended that students speak with their midwife or physician before beginning any physical activity. Please note this is not a Baby & Me class. Check our event schedule for upcoming classes for babies, kids, and the whole family.

Restorative: long held, passive postures to support deep relaxation, tension release, and stress relief. Using the assistance of blocks, bolsters and blankets, restorative yoga class works to deeply calm and rest the nervous system, supports the body’s natural healing tendencies and allows the students to experience the poses without having to exert any effort. Appropriate for everyone. A great compliment to a more vigorous practice.

Slow Flow: appropriate for beginners as a stepping stone to Vinyasa classes and for those looking for a slower paced flow practice, Slow Flow focuses on alignment, longer held poses and a balance of ease and effort. Students can expect different pose variations, creative use of props and to learn principles of a vinyasa practice such as linking breath and movement. This class explores both basic and more challenging postures.

Vinyasa: a dynamically sequenced flow class linking movement and breath; a vigorous and energizing practice incorporating Sun Salutations and poses to increase strength, flexibility and balance. Vinyasa classes are known for their fluid, movement-intensive practices. No two vinyasa classes are the same. Students are challenged to be mindful when they move from pose to pose through both simple and challenging transitions.

Yin: designed to stress the connective tissues of the body within their natural range of motion, over an extended period of time, to create openness and health in the ligaments, tendons, and fascia. Yin yoga also works to train the quality of the mind’s concentration and harmonize the flow of prana (energy) in the body. Appropriate for everyone. A great compliment to a more vigorous practice.

Yoga for All:  all are welcome in this class – able bodied and those with disabilities or injuries. Postures are made accessible for every body, whether seated, standing or coming down to the floor. Ideal for those seeking the physical and mental benefits of yoga who have limited mobility or balance as a result of the aging process, injury or other medical issues. We adapt postures using blocks, blankets, chairs and the wall.  A great practice for newcomers as well as those looking to deepen their practice and tap into the subtle body.

Yoga Nidra: also known as “the divine sleep” or sleep with awareness, this is a systematic method of complete relaxation, holistically addressing our physiological, neurological, and subconscious needs. We’ll use a variety of techniques—including guided imagery and body scanning—to aid relaxation.

Levels of Classes

All Levels: classes appropriate for all skill levels, even beginners. Modifications and variations will offered accordingly to fit the needs of the students.

Mixed Levels: classes accommodate a wide range of experience levels from advancing beginners to students that have practiced for a long period of time. Teachers may offer options for those ready to challenge themselves in the next stages of the pose.

Note About Ages: Basics and Gentle classes are appropriate for children above the age of 12 who are accompanied by an adult. 16 years and older may attend any class on our schedule. No children should be left unattended in our community space.

What is Yoga?

Yoga is an integrative approach to the union of mind, body and spirit, the path to a fully realized self. By increasing strength, flexibility and balance both on and off the mat, students learn to trust their intuition, build self-confidence and step into their fullest potential. Yoga is for every body. All it takes is a willingness to learn and an open mind.

Yoga is an ancient system that helps us integrate all the different pieces of our selves into the whole so we can live in the modern world in a more effective and purposeful way. Benefits of yoga include, but are not limited to stress reduction, injury prevention, positive body image and awareness, strengthened immune system, increased ability to focus, overall body toning, a greater connection to a higher power and more.

Yoga is also a healing system of both theory and practice. It is a combination of breathing exercises (pranayama), physical postures (asanas), philosophy, and meditation that has been practiced for more than 5,000 years, but is also easily accessible in today’s modern world.

Yoga is for every body. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. We’re happy to assist you in finding the right class for you!
