What the classes are
Most of what happens here is yoga. Vinyasa and power yoga are the core, and warm vinyasa is there for anyone who prefers a gentler heat. Strength is the second thread: Yoga and Weights, Full Body Strength, Full Body Tone and Power Yoga & Sculpt all bring resistance into the practice. Barre/Sculpt and Dance and Define add a different rhythm, and Power Flow (Hot) Yoga adds heat for those who want it.
How the week runs
Classes begin as early as 6:30am and finish as late as 7:15pm. Mornings and evenings each hold about half of the schedule, and weekend classes make up about a fifth. The busiest start times are 9am, 6pm, 7:15pm and 8am. Most classes last 60 minutes, and a few run longer. Classes are offered in one studio at a time, and the shape of the week stays consistent.
