The following class levels are listed from least challenging to more challenging. Everyone progresses through the different levels at their own pace based on individual abilities and desires. Each class level internally builds on itself, so you are learning a little something new each week while developing what you learned last week. Our teachers follow your progress and offer continued guidance.

Brand new to yoga?
If you are brand new to yoga, have never been to a yoga class, or have only taken a couple of classes, please visit the Beginners page to learn more on how to get started.  

Gentle Yoga - Beginner to Advanced
Stretching the Body 
An excellent class for students wanting a good all over body stretch or recovering from injury. Students enjoy various stretches to open the shoulders and hips, improving range of motion and relieving stiffness. Includes focusing on building strength and improving balance through a slow, gentle sequence of poses. Students brand new to yoga are also invited to attend. No prior yoga experience required.

Yoga Level 1 - Beginner
Creating a Foundation
Perfect if you are just getting started. We practice beginner level yoga poses to strengthen core muscles, along with level appropriate breathing, relaxation and meditation techniques. The pace for this class is slower, with detailed instruction, and more rest periods between poses. The New to Yoga Series is a prerequisite to this class for students who have never practiced yoga before.

All Levels Yoga - Beginner to Advanced
Exploring the body
This class is open to students of all levels. Students practice a combination of poses that build strength and improve flexibility without over taxing the body. The pace is slow and meditative, and instructions include modifications for making the poses more challenging to accommodate the more experienced yogi. Some Yoga experience is required. The New to Yoga Series is a prerequisite to this class for students who have never practiced yoga before.

Wake Up Yoga - Beginner to Advanced
Energizing the Body
A class open to students from a beginner level to advanced. The sequence moves a little more quickly to energize and "wake up" the systems of the body, building a gentle heat in the muscles to improve flexibility, while developing strength in the arms, legs and core. This class is a bit more challenging than the All levels class. Prior yoga experience required. The New to Yoga Series is a prerequisite to this class for students who have never practiced yoga before.

Yoga Level 1-2 - Beginner/Intermediate
 Mixing it Up
A bit more challenging than the Level 1, but not quite a full Level 2. We consider this class a beginner to intermediate mixed level class and offer modifications to the poses to increase or decrease the challenge level based on personal preference. A very basic warm-up flow sequence (Sun Salutation), which links together twelve poses, is included in this class.

Yoga Level 2 - Intermediate
 Developing the Practice
Ideal for students who have been practicing yoga regularly for at least 6 months. We practice a warm up flow sequence (Sun Salutation), explore different levels of challenge for various poses, and expand on proper alignment, so it's important to have a basic understanding of pose names and their basic alignment. The range of student ability varies the greatest at this level, and students continue to learn how to adapt to their individual needs.

Yoga Level 2 - 3 - Intermediate/Advanced
 Mixing it Up
This class is open to intermediate to advanced students, and is a faster paced class with fewer breaks for those wanting more of a challenge in their practice. We teach modifications for each pose to create challenge, if desired, and to illustrate how poses progress. We also introduce more advanced breathing and meditation techniques at this level.
