What the studio offers
Vinyasa is the style you will meet most often at shift down yoga, followed by hatha and yin. Many classes flow through connected sequences with attention to breath and transitions, and the studio also offers Pilates fusion, breathwork and sound bath sessions.

How the week is shaped

A smaller set of classes runs at midday and on weekends. If your week is shaped by work, the early and evening slots offer the most options, and most classes are an hour long.
