HOT / WARMÂ Â YOGA
We combine a variety of yoga styles, including vinyasa or flow, yin, power, and core, which are paced and choreographed in ways so that each class offers you a completely different experience. We also like to mix things up and won’t let your practice grow stagnant, as we change the content and flow periodically.
​
Let the HEAT be your friend. Make peace with it. For our hot yoga classes, the studio is heated between 90 and 95 degrees with an approximate humidity of 40%. But don’t be intimidated, the heat is there to support and enhance your experience.
There are many benefits to practicing yoga in a heated room, such as:
-
Increased circulation to your muscles allows for greater flexibility, which aids in lengthening your muscles and helps to prevent injury.
-
Increased heart rate deepens your cardiovascular workout.
-
Enhanced vasodilation so that more blood (oxygen) is delivered to your muscles, joints, and endocrine, thyroid, and lymphatic systems, bringing natural healing and balance back to your body.
-
Increased sweating helps to detoxify your body by flushing toxins from your blood and metabolic waste from your muscles.
-
Faster breakdown of glucose and fatty acids.​

Hot yoga is a great workout that will improve your overall health!

YOGAÂ FLOW
Each position held by the body is joined through rhythmic breathing. Altogether, flow yoga creates strength and energy in the body. This form of yoga is very popular in Western culture. Today, many eating disorder residential programs, drug rehab facilities, and trauma treatment centers offer flow yoga as a part of their program.
​
Yoga is considered a type of exercise. In fact, flow yoga offers a wide variety of benefits, including higher levels of strength, increased self-esteem, and a greater range of flexibility.
​
Flow yoga is performed best when proper breathing techniques are incorporated. Deep breathing helps to provide a relaxed, centered state and creates the “flow” connection to your postures.
BARRE
The Barre workout is a full-body workout that will rapidly and safely transform your body, unlike anything you have ever tried. The 55-minute session is designed to burn fat and calories by combining components of ballet barre work, Pilates, yoga, and strength training.

MAT PILATES
Mat Pilates is a foundational, low-impact exercise method focused on strengthening the core—or "powerhouse"—using body weight on a mat for resistance. Classes involve precise, breath-guided, flowing movements that enhance flexibility, posture, and muscular endurance, suitable for all fitness levels.
​
Key characteristics of Mat Pilates include:
-
Mental & Physical Connection: Movements are slow, controlled, and synchronized with breathing, fostering mindfulness, relaxation, and improved body awareness.
-
Typical Exercises: Classes often feature foundational movements such as The Hundred, roll-ups, planks, leg circles, and spine stretches to build long, lean muscles.
-
Benefits: Regular practice leads to improved posture, increased flexibility, reduced tension, and enhanced total-body strength.
-
Core Focus: Exercises specifically target the abdominals, lower back, pelvic floor, and glutes.
-
Body Weight Resistance: Unlike reformer pilates, this method uses one's own body weight for resistance, often incorporating props like magic circles, bands, or small balls to increase intensity.
BOUNCE
Bounce (also known as "rebounding") is a fast-paced, high-energy HIIT class combining strength training and cardio for a great all around workout.
​
This 45-minute class is a full-body workout with all of the benefits of high-intensity interval training.
Rebounding has been shown to improve endurance, stimulate the lymphatic system, support bone density, and improve pelvic floor health. It also improves balance, coordination, and motor skills. There are so many more benefits, but we love that it’s FUN!
