What the studio offers
Yoga is the backbone here, and it comes in several forms. Hot and warm flow classes sit alongside calm yoga, yin and restorative sessions, so the studio covers both a steady sweat and long, quiet holds. Vinyasa has its own place in the week, and hatha appears as well.
Beyond the mat, there is pilates, barre and aerial yoga. Hot pilates, cardio barre and power interval fusion show how the studio mixes disciplines. A few meditation and core and pelvic floor classes round out the list.
How the week runs
Most classes are an hour long, which gives the practice room to build. The schedule clusters in the evening and the morning, with the busiest start times at 6pm, 9:30am, 10:45am and 7:15pm. The earliest class starts at 8:30am and the latest at 7:15pm.
The classes are led by a couple of dozen facilitators, with a strong group of regulars at the front. Shannon Kelly, Farrah Ameri and Lori Alexander lead the most classes, and Maggie Greene and Ali Farmer Rehak are also among the names you will see most often.
