What the classes are
Yoga is the core of the schedule, and it runs across most of the week. About a third of the classes are marked all levels, which makes this a comfortable place to begin or return to practice. Classes in the all levels range often take place at jaya church, a sister space that appears in several class names.
The mix goes beyond standard yoga. Strength and mobility classes, joints and mobility work, and mobility and stretch sessions each take a share of the timetable. Yin yoga and restorative classes slow things down, and pilates sculpt and yoga for strength bring a more active feel.
How the week runs
More than half of the classes start in the morning, and about a third begin before 9am. The studio is most often busy at 8am, 10am and 6pm, with 7:30am a common early start. Evening classes are fewer, and the latest class starts at 6:15pm. Weekends hold about a fifth of the schedule.
Tuesday, Friday and Sunday are the busiest days. Facilitators such as Ramit Kreitner, Carla Stangenberg, Teri Gandy-Richardson and Nikki Calonge lead many of the classes, and a team of about ten facilitators keeps the schedule running across the week.
