55+
- Tuesday 10:00-11:15 am (in person and online)
Yoga increases flexibility and strength, enhances balance, and builds bone density—areas where we may notice differences as we grow older. In this gentle, slower-paced class, we’ll work towards a fuller range of bodily motion, as well as greater awareness of the breath and its impact on the body-mind. This class generally begins in a chair and progresses onto a mat, moving mindfully and using props like belts and cushions to gently open and stretch.
All-Levels
- Saturday 10:00-11:15 am (in person and online)
Ashtanga yoga unites breath with movement in a smooth, dynamic flow into and out of Sun Salutations and a variety of standing, seated, and reclined postures. Join this faster-paced Ashtanga-inspired class to develop a sense of mental and physical focus, breathe deeply, increase metabolism and muscle strength, and enhance stamina. Have fun challenging your body and discovering what it can do!
Chair Yoga (limited-run drop-in class: Sept. 18 – Oct. 16)
- Friday 11:45 am-12:30 pm (in person and online)
This 45-minute express class, open to all ages and abilities, is for anyone looking for low-impact activity or dealing with soreness or injury. Through gentle movements practiced while seated in a chair or standing with a chair for support, gain all the benefits of yoga—muscular release and strengthening, increased energy, better posture and sleep, deeper breath, and mental calm—without the up-and-down movements of traditional yoga.

Evening Calm
- Wednesday 5:00-6:15 pm (in person and online)
This gentler, slower-paced practice soothes the nervous system and encourages your body-mind to wind down at the end of the day. Expect fewer flowing and standing asanas (postures), and more time on Pranayama (breathwork) and seated and reclining asanas. We’ll also remain longer in some postures–including Savasana (corpse)–to fully enjoy just how good they can feel. Join us Wednesdays to find your Evening Calm.
Lunchtime
- Tuesday 12:05-1:00 pm (in person and online)
Need a mid-day break? Whether you’re new to yoga or a long-time practitioner, come to this short and sweet flow class to bring movement into your body, breathe deeply, and find balance. Spend your lunch hour rejuvenating yourself, and feel grounded and energized for the rest of your day.
Morning Glow
- Friday 10:00-11:15 am (in person and online)
Start your day the best possible way with attention to your breath and conscious movement to bring balance and energy to your body-mind. This gently flowing class will leave you feeling present, energized, and ready to step into the day ahead.
