Grassroots Yoga

An invigorating all-level practice that invites you to gently move from pose to pose, pausing to focus on your breath. Slow Flow helps you connect to the present moment. It strengthens, tones and defines you as well as invites you to sink deeply into longer stretches. 

Each practice is a bit different, depending on our focus for the session. This Fall our intention is to connect with Joy, so expect a lot of heart-opening and deep stretches. Last session we focused on the word Strong and we'll continue some of that work se ex[ect to see some leg, arm and core transformation in September and October.  

Years ago my teacher said to me, "Melissa, no one needs to be taught to push themselves. They need to learn to slow down." -Suzanne Chapek.

I've held that close to my heart and developed this class for you. Restorative Yoga teaches you to be still and present in the moment. It's the most delicious.

Perfect for beginners for its ease and accessibility, sometimes slowing down and getting quiet is also the advanced work. 

Mr.  BKS Iyengar brought restorative yoga to US teachers and I was lucky enough to study with Judith Lasater, one of his students. She was one of the first yogis to introduce restorative yoga to mainstream classes. 

Join us for peace, healing, relaxation and comfort.  Yoga props, like blankets and bolsters are helpful, but you can use household items, like beach towels, bed pillows, couch cushions and blankets to feel grounded and heal. 

An easy, breezy class for absolutely any level practitioner. You'll spend most of the class on your back. For a short while you'll do sitting poses and be on your hands and knees before returning to your back. 

You'll work the tension of the week out of every muscle in your body and lubricate your joints. 

Increase circulation, detoxify and settle your mind. 

Often a 30 minute pop-up request. 

Mostly we do it as a 30 minute early morning practice, but you're welcome to request it for a 60 or 75 minute session. 

Wake Up Yoga helps increase circulation with breath work, helps your brain wake up and be steady and focused for your day. Physically you'll warm up, stretch and release any tightness and tension from sleeping in unhelpful positions. 

You'll leave this class feeling energized and ready to tackle your day. 

Not a regular class, but available as a Pop-Up

Our most fun class! You, all warmed up and ready to go for some big, deep stretches. Take a quick power walk around the block, get on the Peloton, or even just take a warm, comfy bath. Then you'll be able to sink deeper. 

Do you love stretching? Are you a runner? Are you a cardio or lifting junkie? This could be the class that helps you level-up. 

In yoga we believe that true health is a balance between endurance, strength and flexibility. This class helps you find that balance with the deep stretches that so many lifters and runners ignore.

Like all classes, this can be a pop-up for whenever it's best for you. Ask for a session after your run or right after lifting. It's a lovely way to find ultimate health and performance.
