What the practice looks like
Most of the schedule is yoga, in several forms. Flow classes give a moving, breath-led practice, while yin and restore classes ask you to stay in shapes longer and move less. Pilates appears in mat and core formats, often with a focus on the core and pelvic floor. A few classes add a short meditation at the end, and a handful of somatic and release classes work more slowly with sensation.
Classes are about an hour long, and several are built around a starting point. Yoga basics introduces the postures and the breath, and a first class ever is set up for people who have never practiced before.
How the week runs
The studio's morning classes start as early as 7am, and a sunrise yoga flow is part of that early run. Mornings are the strongest part of the week, and the evening schedule is steady, with starts commonly around 6pm and the latest class beginning at 7:30pm. Midday classes are fewer, with noon being a common start time.
Tuesday, Monday and Wednesday carry the most classes, so these are the days with the most options to choose from. Weekend classes are fewer, making up about a fifth of the schedule.
