What the studio teaches

Yoga is the core of the schedule here, and vinyasa and restore are the styles that appear most often after it. Yin and gentle classes give a slower option, while flow and slow flow vinyasa keep the pace moving.

The studio also teaches yoga therapy, including a class called My Body Don't Bend That Way and a Wake Up Yoga class offered both in the studio and at home. Sound baths, meditation, yoga nidra and a capoeira class broaden the range beyond the mat.

How the week runs

Mornings carry more than half of the classes, and the earliest start is 6am. Evenings take about a third of the week, with the busiest evening starts at 6:30pm, and weekends hold about a third of the schedule.

Classes usually run about an hour. Saturday, Sunday and Thursday are the days when the schedule fills most, so those are good days to look at first.
