Class Type Descriptions

Move Wise: These practices center yoga asana with a focus on building awareness, curiosity, confidence, and capacity. I love offering multiple ways to approach the poses for students with varying body types and levels of experience. Class will generally include a mix of floor work and standing work, and will often feature props such as 2 blocks, a strap, a blanket, a bolster (or pillows), and a wall. You can of course participate without these items, but may need to be a bit creative. These practices are ideal for multiple experience levels, though if you are brand new to yoga, please be patient with yourself!

Fluent Movement: These practices are a great complement to Move Wise classes, as practices will center fluid movements, functional movements, dynamic balance, and elements of vinyasa flow (coordinating breath with asanas). You are likely to come across funky pose transitions and creative sequences intended to challenge your typical movement patterns. You may find options for arm balances and inversions. Come with curiosity and a sense of humor! Variations are offered for different bodies and levels of experience, but generally this class will require the ability to get up and down off the floor safely, and is not ideal for beginners or those recovering from injury unless you have general facility with active movement already. You are encouraged to use props to support your practice, but I may or may not use or cue them consistently for our practices.

Floor Work: Floor classes exist because sometimes I think it's nice to get creative with asana practice sans standing poses. Originally, I started trying to create capacity-building classes that felt like Move Wise or like Fluent Movement classes because I had lots of knee surgeries and could not easily practice standing poses for months at a time. Now I just find them enjoyable! You may fine quadruped or kneeling poses, prone (on your stomach), supine (on your back), sitting, or sidelying positions in these practices. These are not the same as gentle classes!

Gentle Yoga: These classes may be all grounded (or can be done in a bed), seated in a chair or with a chair, or some combination of grounded, seated, and standing. We will move slowly, combining gentle effort to build capacity with meditation and rest to balance effort with ease. Pillows (or a bolster), a strap (or scarf, dog leash, etc), and a wall (or chair when called for) might be useful for these classes. These classes are ideal for beginners, people who don't easily change levels or may not be ambulatory, people recovering for injuries, or those who simply need to slow down or incorporate more stillness into practice.

Therapeutic: These videos offer techniques for creating mobility, building capacity, or generally feeling better in specific areas of the body. Videos may include soft-tissue mobilization techniques, practices centered around a certain body part, tips for working with pain and injury, breath techniques, pranayama, and mindfulness practices.
