What is taught here
Most of the studio's classes are mobility and stretch sessions, with yoga, flow and gentle practice close behind. The mobility and stretch work is especially present, and classes like Mobility+Restore and Stretch + Recovery give the body room to move slowly.
Flow and yoga classes form the next layer, often pairing movement with breath. Power Flow and Core+Flow add more effort, while Align + Flow and Flow keep a steady pace. For those who want something quieter, Candlelight Gentle and the restorative sessions offer a softer way to practice.
How the week runs
The timetable is weighted toward the middle of the day. About a third of classes start in the morning and about a third at midday, with a smaller number in the evening. Classes begin no earlier than 9am, so early risers will find the first starts a little later than dawn.
The studio's busiest days are Monday, Tuesday and Friday, and its most common start times are 9am, 1:15pm, noon and 4pm. Weekend classes are few, so the week is built around weekday practice.
