Styles and rhythm of practice
ether & stone is built around a steady stream of yoga classes. Hatha vinyasa appears in several levels, with hatha vinyasa II and hatha vinyasa III among the example classes. Flow and vinyasa classes sit alongside them, so a regular practice can move from a steady flow to a slower hatha session over the course of a week.
The studio also offers a slower side. Gentle yoga, yin and restore classes give the body time to settle, and calm classes appear with a similar share of the schedule. Meditation is paired with movement in sun & meditation and moon & meditation, which shift the focus toward stillness at the end of the practice.
