What the classes are like
The studio's classes are mostly yoga, and gentle, restorative and restore sessions make up a large share of the schedule. Vinyasa flow, hatha, yin and strong flow appear less often, along with a slow core flow class focused on the core and pelvic floor. A non-religious meditative prayer class and sleep-focused sessions round out the offerings.
Most classes run about an hour, while hatha, yin and slow core flow tend toward 75 minutes, and the hybrid active align class runs 90 minutes. Classes are offered in person, and the studio also streams many online, so you can join from home or at the studio.
The studio and its people
The studio is at 441 Wadsworth Blvd in Lakewood, and its home practice spaces sit on the lands of the Ute, Cheyenne and Arapaho peoples. Its teachers are facilitators who practice trauma-informed and people-informed yoga, with a clear commitment to inclusivity. The studio describes itself as a space for everyone, regardless of background, identity or experience.
The collective also offers teacher trainings and retreats, including women's and couples weekend retreats, for those who want to go deeper than a weekly class.
