What the studio practices
The studio's practice leans toward yin, restorative and yoga nidra, with about a third of classes in each of the yoga, yin and calm families. Strength, Pilates and core work appear as well, including Mat Pilates Island Core and Sun Power Sculpt. Qigong and tai chi bring a gentler, flowing counterweight.
Classes like Island Flow and Gentle Tropical Flow give a moving practice for those who want more motion than yin offers.
