Yoga

Join us for weekly donation yoga classes suitable for all experience levels! Pay what you can or pay nothing at all. We aren't tracking receipts, but just hoping to provide a weekly class in which everyone, regardless of financial ability or physical ability, are able to practice together.

Waking up is hard to do... except when you know the room will be warm, the flow inviting, and the atmosphere chill yet vibrant enough to get your day started. Expect to start your day warm, stretched, strong, balanced, focused and happy!

Welcome to our 'all bodies welcome- wellness walking club!' This club is an invitation that yoga is for every BODY and it doesn't have to look like tying yourself in a pretzel to be yoga. Led by an instructor, we will take a socially distant walk including a meditation portion and a conversation element woven in. This is a time to connect with yourself and others, to turn inward and explore outward at a gentle pace. Lace up your walking shoes and meet us outside our building for a COVID safe yoga activity that's great for every BODY. Should there be inclement weather, this class will be moved indoors to our spacious, upstairs platforms and we will make it a more traditional meditation (masks will then be required), but still available to all bodies!

Looking to deepen your practice but not interested in becoming a yoga teacher? This course is a 5 class series, or you can join in for one topic at a time. For the History portion we will be discussing yoga's roots, key literature, concepts and vocabulary. Come with an open mind and as we travel back to our roots.

In the breath segment, we will focus on what pranayama (breath) is, how to control it utilizing different techniques and how to incorporate pranayama into our current yoga practice.

**If you are pregnant, certain pranayama techniques will not be appropriate for you to practice. The instructor will advise during class, but be aware.

In the posture segment, we will focus on key postures in the 'Modern Vinyasa Yoga System'. We will focus on alignment, benefits, contraindications and methods on how to improve each.

During the energy segment, we will discuss chakras- what they are, what they mean and how to utilize them in our practice. We will also discuss mudras, bandhas and other means to draw and control your energy spheres.

Part philosophy, part asana, part meditation, part pranayama. Expect a full soul cleansing and an in depth practice of at least 4 of the 8 limbs of the yogic path.

**If this is labeled Level 2/3 or 3, it will be physically demanding. This level is Intended to be for serious practitioners who want to push the edge of their asana practice. Recommended at least 3-5 years practice, a solid inversion practice (headstand, forearm stand and/or handstand) and willing to take risks.

Want to get lost in your movement & sweat - then slow down, cool down and feel reeeeeeeal good? This is your class! We'll heat up with a flow and a great playlist - followed by slow, relaxing and releasing postures. This is the ultimate class to end your day on!

Enjoy the sweat and movement of a vinyasa flow with a little more emphasis on alignment. Alignment cues and short explained demos will allow for you to work more challenging poses into the sequence and create a greater understanding of mechanics, alignment, strength and surrender as you build your practice. These principals can be applied to any level yogi, whether you are in class for the first time or an experienced practitioner.

Want to get lost in your movement & heat up? This is your class. Expect to sweat, move, flow and hit the pause button. Get ready to let go of all your BS in the form of your own movement... We recommend bringing water.

Practice Indie's yin yoga class. Yin is long, held postures that encourage you to explore your physical and mental edge. Unlike Restorative yoga, postures are not as supported through props which will require the body to truly release and surrender. This can be a mentally and physically challenging practice - not because of muscular endurance, but because of the mental/ physical strength it takes to let go.

Defy gravity and feel like a BOSS yoga warrior doing it. Aerial yoga is a wonderful way to decompress the spine, work on inversions without fear, deepen stretches in unique ways and build strength. We recommend that you have been practicing yoga for at least 6 months before doing this class. You will want to understand basic yoga cueing before taking it off of the ground.

The mind class will be focused on meditation. We will learn what meditation is, how to utilize it in our daily lives and why it plays such a significant role in the path of yoga. We will discuss mantras, mala beads, the "best" ways to meditate and different techniques you can practice daily.

This shorter format class is the perfect way to end your workday! Shut off your busy work brain and ease back into your life with this quick hit of peace. We'll start by resting with a few restorative postures followed by a reset through a guided meditation. Leave feeling relaxed and refreshed, ready to head home and be present!

Monthly themed classes designed to dive into the connections we have with the universe and each other. Set an intention and watch it manifest! These classes are currently taking place via Zoom.

If you have balance challenges, have limited mobility from the waist down, or simply want to learn the postures from a more stable place, this class is for you! This class will be interactive as we will suit the needs of those who show up, and use chairs as a primary prop to assist with each pose. Throughout the class we may expand the difficulty and intensity as you grow familiar and confident, but will continue to offer modifications based off of the students who show up. Come with an open heart and mind and be prepared to engage in the process of what works for you… oh, and bring a chair!

This class will focus on moon salutations which tend to be more cyclical, grounding and fluid flows. Prepare to move, sweat a bit, stretch deeply and prepare for bedtime with these intoxicating salutations to the moon. With class taking place outside, in the chance of inclement weather this class will move indoors to our platforms where there is still plenty of airflow and a fan, however we will require masks upon entry of the building.

Looking to get a good stretch, but your typical thing is more "athletic"? Join us for an express (45 minutes) class geared toward recovery and mobility!

Students can expect a slow start and a strong finish with this class. Expect to start out with more restorative postures and eventually make your way through vigorous flows that focus on strengthening the body by holding postures for longer than you would normally in a flow and go class. Leave feeling happy, loose, inspired, invigorated, open, and light filled.
