When the classes run
The studio's schedule is weighted toward the evening. Most of the classes start after work, with the busiest start times around 6pm and 7:30pm. Weekends carry about a third of the classes, and Sunday and Wednesday are among the busiest days of the week.
Mornings have a smaller presence, with about a fifth of classes starting in the morning and a few beginning as early as 8am. Classes in the early morning are less common, so the morning options are more limited than the evening ones.
Classes and facilitators
Flow and vinyasa are the backbone of the schedule, and classes like Mixed Levels Vinyasa Flow, Morning Flow and Slow Flow & Let Go give different paces within the same approach. For a quieter practice, Restorative with Sound Healing and Yin Yang Yoga slow things down, and Self-Care Sunday offers a gentler weekend option.
The classes are led by about ten facilitators, with Anna Jacobs, Jennifer Maniates, Lucia Nguyen and Rachel Munyard among those who teach the most classes. Most sessions run about 75 minutes, which gives enough time for a full practice without feeling rushed.
