Fluid Vinyasa Yoga®

These classes dynamically link the flowing nature of breath with mindful, continual movement. This heat-building flow not only increases strength and flexibility, but trains the mind to be more content and relaxed throughout difficult challenges on and off the mat. Fluid yogis embrace qualities embodied by the universal elements to become grounded and balanced, like the earth; graceful, like water; strong and pure, life fire; connected to their breath and mind with the clarity of air; and relaxed and rejuvenated with each journey into the spaciousness of savasana. 


Benefits: increase physical and mental strength and clarity, increase flexibility and range of motion, advance your yoga practice


Yin Yoga

A complimentary practice to more active styles of movement supporting maintenance of mobility, healing, and an opportunity to explore mindfulness and the subtler aspects of a personal practice. Working with gravity, students move gently through poses, holding each pose for several minutes. This slow pace allows the pose to work within the deeper tissues, increase awareness of body sensations and focus the mind. 


Benefits: increase flexibility and range of motion, relieve stress and anxiety, support healing and mindfulness


Vinyasa Strong

Feel energized and more grounded with this full mind-body yoga practice. This invigorating flow unites breath and movement with a focus on postural alignment and functional mobility. This practice will challenge you to explore within your own body the mechanics of movement, including muscular engagement, stability, mobility, and balance.

Benefits: build strength and stamina, detox and cleanse the body, boost your mood, advance your yoga practice

“Nadi & Nice”® Flow & Massage

Enjoy the therapeutic benefits of stretching, strengthening, and massage — all at the same time! “Nadi & Nice” works the fascia and muscles throughout the body in an intermediate yoga flow. The class uses smooth, pliable Nadi Balls® to target specific areas of the body and serve as a vital source of biofeedback. Northern Virginia magazine writes, “The balls work into the fascia lines, creating openness and encouraging correct alignment, and students can feel how sensations are connected throughout the body.”

Benefits: strengthen and align your posture, relax and soothe the muscles, feel stronger and more confident in your body, relieve pain and discomfort

“Nadi & Nice”® Relax & Massage

Enjoy the relaxing benefits of stretching and massage with this easy-going yoga class. The Nadi Ball lets you melt into hard-to-reach places that you can’t access with traditional stretching and foam rolling. Your muscles sink around the Nadi Ball, relaxing the tight, crunchy knots. And the fascia—the thin layer of tissue around the muscles and organs—begins to loosen and reshape. What you get is a whole-body experience that relieves tension, boosts the immune system, and improves circulation.

Benefits: relax and soothe the muscles, relieve pain and discomfort, boost the immune system

Ashtanga Vinyasa

Gain confidence in your practice by building a solid foundation with Ashtanga, one of the more traditional and challenging yoga practices. It encourages us to be patient with our bodies by building strength through a set sequence of postures mastered over time. Ashtanga plays an important role in understanding and learning the key poses that are the bedrock for a strong yoga practice.


Benefits: increase physical and mental strength and clarity, increase flexibility and range of motion, advance your yoga practice
