Click “Sign Up” and you will be directed to our class management website. First set up an account by locating the “Need an account?” message in the upper right corner and clicking the “Click Here” button. Once you have set up your account and logged in, select the “Store” tab and choose a class package or single drop in to purchase. Then click on the “Classes” tab on the same website to select a class you’d like to sign up for. We appreciate it if you can sign up for classes in advance—anytime up until the time of the class is fine but the sooner the better to reserve your spot.

You may cancel out of class any time before the class starts by logging in to studio bookings (you can click the Sign Up/Sign In button in the upper right corner of our website or at the bottom of the menu on mobile devices). Then navigate to the tab on the right: with a clock icon on a device or “My Schedule” on a laptop. You will see a list of “My Upcoming Classes.” You may need to scroll to the right; then click the red cancel button on the class you would like to cancel out of. If you have a class card or drop in, the system will credit back your class if it is more than an hour before the start time. If it is already less than an hour before class or after class has started, you will need to contact us if you have an extenuating circumstance and wish to request a credit back on to your card. (but do go ahead and cancel out even if it is less than an hour before so that the spot will open up for someone else).

First go to the store tab in our booking system. On a laptop, you will see a shopping cart icon and the word “store”. On a mobile device, you will just see the shopping cart icon. Find the item you wish to purchase and click the “Buy” button. Once in the “Confirm Purchase” page, enter the appropriate promo code in the “Promocode” field on the line item that the promo code applies to. On a mobile device, you may need to scroll to the right to see it. The most important thing is to then click the blue “Apply” button. On a mobile device, the “Apply” button may have the word “Apply” cut off and you may only be able to see a little blue box. Click that to apply the discount and make sure you see the discount applied—the discount amount should be in a field labeled “Discount” and the total should be reduced by the discount amount. Verify all of this before clicking the “Proceed to payment” button.

We offer a quarterly Intro to Yoga Series, which we recommend for brand new students, or even those coming back to yoga or just wanting to deepen their practice. In the meantime, if you’re new to yoga or it’s been awhile since you’ve been practicing regularly, you may want to gravitate towards the hatha based or Slow Flow classes. These will move more slowly through poses and allow you time to hold and explore alignment in each pose, helping you build in the right muscle memory. Hatha I or Slow Flow are your friends while you’re getting up to speed with your yoga practice—both technique-wise and to be gentle on your body.Gentle Yoga and Unwind Yoga are also a gentler alternatives, with more intense stretching in Unwind, though. After you feel comfortable with these options, perhaps try a few Hatha II or Flow I/II classes. Restorative is appropriate for everyone and don’t be shy about trying out the Gentle Chair classes—they are for anyone to try, regardless of age or ability.

Despite the name of the class, we do not spend the whole class time sitting in a chair. The chair is simply used as another prop, like a block or bolster, to augment our yoga practice and make it accessible to more people. In a typical class, we spend the first 5-10 minutes warming up while seated in the chair (what we might normally do on the ground in our other classes) Then we get up and go through a vinyasa sequence using the chair up against the wall to bring our hands to for plank and downward dog—this method is easier on the wrists and shoulders because the legs are bearing more of the body weight. After vinyasa, we’ll spend some time with standing poses without the chair, then usually a balance pose, sometimes using the chair for support. Then we come down to the floor for seated, prone, and supine poses before settling in to savasana. It is a full yoga class just like any other we offer—just a bit shorter (45 minutes) and more accessible to a wider variety of abilities. Even if you’re able to come to our other, more vigorous classes, Gentle Chair can be a nice addition to your yoga week when you’re feeling like a gentler practice or feel a little low on energy but don’t want to skip yoga altogether.

Sound Bath offers a unique opportunity for you to rest and recharge in savasana while being bathed in the soothing vibrations of crystal bowls and melodic vocalizations.

Yoga Nidra is a guided savasana meditation that takes you on a transformative journey, leading you to a state of therapeutic yogic sleep. Embark on this enchanting experience, where intentions are set, healing takes place, and rejuvenation blossoms.Yoga Nidra gently escorts you into a hypnagogic state—a twilight zone between wakefulness and slumber. As you lie comfortably on your mat, an experienced guide will lead you through a series of verbal cues and imagery, inviting your body, mind, and spirit to unwind. Drifting into this profound state of relaxation, you will tap into the boundless potential of your subconscious mind.
