What the classes are
Yoga is the core of the schedule here, and more than half of the classes are power yoga or hot yoga. Vinyasa runs through many of them, linking breath and movement in a steady flow. The studio also makes room for mobility and stretch, which account for about a third of classes, and for a few restorative sessions that slow the pace down.
The heat and power classes tend to be the most physically demanding, with names like Hot Power Vinyasa Yoga and Hot Power Basics. For a slower option, Restorative Stretch and EmPower Down offer a gentler way to practice.
How the week is shaped
Mornings and evenings carry most of the schedule, each taking up about a third of classes. The earliest start is 8:15am, and the latest is 7:30pm. Midday classes are less common, and weekend sessions make up about a fifth of the week.
Mondays, Sundays and Thursdays see the most classes. Common start times include 8:15am, 9am, noon and 6pm, which gives a few different windows for fitting a practice into the week.
