Yoga is a word from Sanscrit meaning union, becoming one with yourself and remaining still at the center of a storm. We offer a variety of classes from basic to more advanced, yet what remains consistent are the foundational principles of breath and consciousness through movement. Each teacher is dedicated to his or her own practice and in all humility brings themselves to the mat as a student as well as a teacher inviting you to join them in a deeper physical, emotional, mental and spiritual self-exploration.

Rhythms offers a variety of yoga/mindfulness classes:.

Candlelight/Yin Yoga
- Ahh, what a better way to end the week than coming to a yoga class where you get the chance to deeply unwind through a slow yogic flow, opening while holding poses and breathing deeply, pausing and relaxing in between postures in a dim candlelit room.  

Deepen Your Yoga Practice - This class is for students interested in deepening their hatha yoga practice. It is a blend of longer holdings, mindful breath, synchronized flows and opening. Creative sequencing, cultivation of breath awareness and detail to alignment will allows the student to feel safe while exploring further into his/her practice. Toward the end of each class we'll take time to inquire into the art of sacred play taking you deeper into a challenging pose. (great prep for advance yoga postures class) You will leave class feeling strong and well balanced. One year of dedicated practice recommended.      

Heart Centered Flow Yoga: One of the key principle of yoga is to help us lead a balanced life where body, heart, mind and spirit are all connected. It is said that the heart is the seat of the soul. It has the ability to guide us in the midst of confusion and have us lead a life filled with compassion, appreciation and gratitude. When the heart is open it has "coherence" which is a rhythmical pattern that influences the entire body into harmony and healing. As part of this class we will practice Asanas from a heart centered place and end with a brief heart centered meditation.        

Pre-Natal Yoga - The classes provide an opportunity for expectant women to develop body awareness and deepen their relationship with their baby. Gentle postures, breath work, visualization, vocal toning and meditation cultivate flexibility, calmness and confidence as you prepare for labor and childbirth. During the classes, women will be encouraged to access their capacity for deeper relaxation and comfort. (upon request)           

Slow Flow Yoga (Beginner to Intermediate) - A vinyasa flow to awaken the body's energy. Discover how to build up energy though movement and allow it to flow slowly.
