What the classes are
The studio's classes center on yoga, and more than half of them are yoga classes. Hatha appears most often as a style, and gentle, flow, restorative and vinyasa classes fill out the rest. Pilates mat and pilates with barre add a strength and core focus for people who want something beyond the mat.
The studio also runs senior and gentle yoga for all, along with a beginning level 1 hatha class that includes restorative work. Restorative yoga is offered as its own class, and moon salutation sessions bring a lunar theme to hatha practice.
How the week runs
Most classes take place in the morning, with the busiest starts at 9am and 10:45am. Evening classes begin around 5pm and 6pm, and the weekend has a smaller share of the timetable. Thursday, Tuesday and Saturday are the busiest days, so those are the days with the most choice.
Classes usually run about 75 minutes, with a few shorter ones such as children's capoeira at 45 minutes. The studio is a small operation with about ten facilitators, and several of them teach regularly across the week.
