Class Descriptions

Vinyasa

Levels Available: Mixed Levels, Level 1 / 2

This class is practiced at room temperature, with no added heat. Vinyasa is a Sanskrit term meaning “to place in a special way” or “to move with intention.” In this style, movement is seamlessly linked with breath, creating a continuous, rhythmic flow. Each sequence aligns postures (asanas) with inhalations and exhalations, building heat, strength, and focus. Our Vinyasa classes are designed to harmonize body and mind through fluid movement and conscious breathing, inviting a deep connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Heated Vinyasa

Levels Available: Level 1, Level 1 / 2, Level 2, Mixed Levels

The room is heated to approximately 90°F with added infrared heat. Dress to sweat!

This dynamic class weaves breath with continuous movement through a series of flowing postures. The added heat supports increased flexibility and detoxification while enhancing strength, stamina, and full-body awareness. Instructors may incorporate elements such as core integration, alignment, balance, and inversions, creating a focused and energizing practice.

Ashtanga/Mysore

Mixed Levels

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional system passed down through Sri T. Krishnamacharya. It involves synchronizing breath with a progressive, structured series of postures that generate internal heat and a purifying sweat. In a Mysore-style class, students move through the sequence at their own pace in an assisted self-practice format. While everyone practices the same sequence, each individual receives personalized guidance based on their level and experience. This supportive, multi-level environment welcomes beginners and seasoned practitioners alike.

Slow Flow

Levels Available: Level 1, Mixed Levels

Practiced at room temperature, this class emphasizes mindful movement and a steady, accessible pace. Breath serves as the anchor as you move intentionally through gentle sequences. Expect a balance of fluid transitions and longer-held postures, allowing time to fully experience each shape. This grounding practice cultivates awareness, calm, and a sense of nourishment for both body and mind.

Warm Slow Flow

Levels Available: Level 1

The room is gently heated to about 80°F with added infrared heat.

Class begins with centering and breathwork, then transitions into a slow, reflective flow. The unhurried pace allows space to build awareness and connection without feeling rushed. Sequences gradually build toward a peak pose, offering both challenge and strength-building, followed by deep stretching and 5–10 minutes of savasana.

Strong (warm) Slow Flow

Levels Available: Level 1/2, Mixed Levels

Some of these classes are room temperature, and some are warm at 80 degrees with infrared heat.

Slow doesn’t always mean easy. In fact, moving with intention can be one of the most powerful ways to challenge yourself and build lasting resilience. This breath-focused class offers steady, mindful movement with an emphasis on strength, stability, and control. With time to explore each posture, you’ll cultivate both physical strength and mental focus, leaving class feeling empowered, balanced, and grounded.

Stress Relief Yoga

Levels Available: Level 1, Mixed Levels

Whether by candlelight, or for your post-weekend recovery, these classes focus on stress reduction which features gentle movement and stretches coordinated with the breath that allow the mind and body to recover from every day stress and strain. The generous use of props (blankets, bolsters, straps) to support the body allows the body to soften and be supported by gravity, encouraging ease, restoration, and calm.

Yin Yoga

Mixed Levels

Dress comfortably and prepare to settle into stillness. Rooted in Chinese and Taoist traditions, Yin Yoga targets the body’s deeper connective tissues including the ligaments, fascia, and joints. Postures are held for longer periods to encourage release, improve mobility, and support the flow of energy throughout the body. This quiet, meditative practice may also include breathwork and mindfulness techniques, inviting deep relaxation and a renewed sense of balance and well-being.

Somatics & Trauma Informed Yoga

Mixed Levels

This 75-minute class is open to all levels and focuses on cultivating awareness, safety, and connection within the body. Through gentle movement, breathwork, and relaxation, students are guided to explore patterns of tension, stress, and stored emotion. This practice offers tools for nervous system regulation and supports both personal and collective healing within an inclusive, supportive environment.

Building the Pose

Level 2/3

This 90-minute class is an alignment class designed to progressively build toward a peak posture, rooted in the principles of Iyengar Yoga. Emphasizing precision, alignment, and intelligent sequencing, the target pose is introduced and broken down at the beginning, offering a clear and methodical pathway for growth. Many modifications and variations are offered to support each individual, meeting you exactly where you are in your practice. Students gain a deeper understanding of the mechanics, actions, and progressions needed to evolve with clarity and confidence. Ideal for those seeking a thoughtful, detail-oriented exploration of postures and personal development.

Yoga Align

Mixed Levels

This class focuses on refining alignment and deepening your understanding of yoga postures. Through a moderate-paced practice and the skillful use of various props, each pose is broken down into its essential components. Emphasis on alignment enhances both safety and effectiveness, while supporting strength, mobility, and overall well-being. Classes are adaptable and inclusive, with modifications available to support injuries, medical conditions, and diverse body needs.

Rocket Yoga

Level 2/3

Developed by Larry Schultz in San Francisco in the 1980s, Rocket Yoga is a playful and dynamic variation of Ashtanga. Expect an energetic sequence filled with arm balances, inversions, and opportunities to explore beyond traditional structure. This class encourages creativity, challenge, and lightheartedness. Some prior yoga experience is recommended.

Kundalini Yoga

Mixed Levels

Often called the “Yoga of Awareness,” Kundalini Yoga works to unite body, mind, and spirit while supporting the nervous and glandular systems. Classes are typically centered around a specific theme, incorporating physical postures (still or moving), breathwork, meditation, and deep relaxation. Classes always conclude with a gong bath, offering a deeply immersive and restorative experience. This transformative practice promotes vitality, circulation, and expanded awareness.

Radiant Flow

Mixed Levels

Radiant Flow is a nurturing practice designed to guide you toward a calmer, brighter, and more refreshed state of being, a beautiful way to step into your weekend. This thoughtfully woven flow blends pranayama, gentle vinyasa, and subtle Kundalini Yoga techniques to create space in both body and mind. Together, we’ll explore your innate radiance while cultivating deep inner calm and relaxation. Come as you are, and leave feeling clear, steady, and softly illuminated from within.

Express Somatics

In this class, we will use a somatic lens and somatic practices including a self referencing, interoceptive awareness, along with pandiculation and nervous system integration to guide us into an experience of process and journey, rather than end results and aesthetics. These practices help us learn to self regulate and take care of ourselves to become more fully embodied.

Express Hatha

Hatha yoga is about balancing the body and mind. ‘Ha’ represents the esoteric sun, and ‘tha’ the moon. The practice of Hatha yoga aims to join, yoke, or balance these two energies. This class will typically involve a set of physical postures (yoga poses) and breathing techniques. These are typically practiced more slowly and with more static posture held between 8-10 rounds of breath.

Express Vinyasa

This 30 minute experience will wake up your body and mind both physically and energetically. Class begins with a short centering followed by about 15-20 minutes of flowing through various versions of Sun Salutation series in their traditional form and/or a creative variation.

Exploring Ashtanga Primary Series

This is a 75 minute class that progresses through an abbreviated primary series (mostly 1/2 primary poses) with pauses to "workshop" or highlight a particular pose or movement. We will slow down and explore different elements of the Ashtanga Half-Primary Sequence with a sense of curiosity and compassion. Class will begin with sun salutations and end with the closing three poses of the primary series. The purpose of this class is to focus or highlight a particular set of postures to have a deeper understanding, and more knowledgeable approach to the primary series.

Breathe, Flow & Release

This class begins with a strength and sensory awareness slow (yang) flow then transitions into various restorative (yin) postures allowing the warmed-up muscles, tendons and deeper connective tissues (fascia) to relax and release. By combining the elements of somatic awareness with yang, and yin postures students will be prepared for a longer deep relaxing Savasana, this class is appropriate for beginners.

Movement Into Meditation

Practice Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses) as we transition from our days with gentle movement flows into longer supported poses. We will complete the practice with pranayama and a short meditation leading us into savasana. Appropriate for all levels. Recommended props of cushions or blocks, blankets, and eye pillows.

Intermediate Kundalini Yoga

Previous experience with Kundalini Yoga and Kundalini Breath of Fire is recommended, although yogi(ni)s from other traditions may be able to jump in easily. Modifications are always available, allowing less experienced Kundalini yogis to join. This 90 minute online class incorporates all of the tenants of Diane's standard Kundalini class, and more yogic philosophy, longer posture hold times, longer multiple gong immersions and longer meditations.

Yoga For Queer Bodies

*This offering is first and foremost a space for LGBTQ+ persons and their allies to move together in community. “Queer” is an intentionally expansive term—this offering warmly, and full-throatedly, welcomes neurodivergent folks, fat bodies, the BIPOC community, and anyone who has felt alienated or othered in their body.

Join the queer community to explore different ways of moving and engaging with our bodies, with no obligation to speak or be “on view.” I will offer some asana (physical postures), and you are always welcome to move as your body desires. Accessibility for all bodies is paramount—modifications are cued and encouraged. Move as little or as much as you like. Every single body is welcome in my class, and absolutely no past experience is necessary or expected. I am a trauma-aware, queer, fat woman, and have found liberation for both mind and body in yoga. Let’s move together, breathe together--because when queer people come together, powerful things happen.
