How the classes are shaped
Vinyasa and hatha are the most common styles, and many classes are open to all levels. The studio also teaches yin, yoga pilates fusion, gentle care hatha and hatha with restorative, so there is room to move from flowing sequences into slower, longer holds.
Classes usually last 60 minutes, with a few running to 75. The studio also offers meditation, though it is one of the less frequent classes on the schedule.
The people and the space
Escape to Yoga has about ten facilitators, and Zac, Emily, Laura, Jennifer, Stacey and Charla lead the largest share of classes. Their names appear throughout the week, so a newcomer can start with a class from any of them and settle into the rhythm of the room.
The studio describes its space as one where you can move, breathe and grow at your own pace. Its own description mentions a focus on clean, comfortable surroundings and a welcoming community.
