Yin Yoga with Melanie
Wednesdays 5:30pm - 6:30pm, alternating Sundays 10:30am - 11:30 am
Yin Yoga is a slow, introspective practice that invites mindful exploration of long-held floor-based postures (typically 3–5 minutes or more), where practitioners intentionally find and sustain an appropriate "edge"—a gentle yet noticeable sensation in the deeper connective tissues, fascia, ligaments, and joints—to foster resilience, flexibility, joint health, and balanced energy flow. Developed by Paul Grilley, who drew from anatomy, Daoist principles, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) meridians to emphasize individual skeletal variations and therapeutic tissue remodeling, and popularized by his student Sarah Powers, who coined the term "Yin Yoga" and enriched it through her Insight Yoga approach by integrating mindfulness, Buddhist philosophy, and transpersonal psychology for emotional awareness and inner growth. This class weaves traditional yoga poses with principles from Ayurveda (for constitutional and seasonal balance), TCM (to stimulate meridians and organ vitality), and transpersonal psychology (to support self-inquiry and expanded consciousness), using props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks to aid safe depth rather than complete comfort. Distinct from restorative yoga's focus on passive, fully supported relaxation, Yin encourages active surrender into subtle challenge with curiosity and presence—ideal for all levels seeking profound physical release, energetic harmony, and quiet self-discovery.

Tai Chi Roots - Yang style 64-move form With JOhn pence
mondays 6pm - 7:30pm
This class teaches tai chi to integrate body awareness, balance, and breath in a way that acknowledges both the art's martial past and the realities of 21st-century life.
Participants will find efficiency in their movement, tools for relaxation, and ways to integrate tai chi into other physical practices. Tai chi concepts can be applied in surprising ways to weightlifting, running, picking up wiggly children, sitting at a desk, martial arts, or returning a shopping cart to the corral. No previous experience is necessary and there's nothing to buy. We honor the teachers who came before us, but the class is informal. Most classes will feature some conditioning work with education available to take that further outside of class.
*The art is traditionally taught with touch and involves partner work, but please advise the instructor of any concerns over touch or other boundaries. Ages 18+.

Radical Resistance Restorative Yoga with katie
Tuesdays 6pm - 7:15pm
This offering is a soft place to land.
Restorative Chair Yoga invites you into a deep, supported rest using chairs, bolsters, blankets, and blocks to cradle the body in shapes that feel safe, spacious, and kind. Postures are held for extended periods, allowing time for the nervous system to settle and the body to release without force or effort. Breath is offered as an invitation gently paired with each pose to support regulation, presence, and ease. This class is rooted in radical resistance: a quiet, embodied refusal of the urgency, productivity, and chronic tension that shape modern life. Together, we pause. We listen. We disrupt the patterned ways the body holds stress, pain, and vigilance creating space for repair. Katie’s teaching is deeply trauma-informed and grounded in decades of experience. This practice is especially supportive for those living with stress, anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, fatigue, or the cumulative impact of repetitive movements such as sitting, device use, and caregiving.
Radical Resistance Restorative Yoga is a return to breath, to rest, to a felt sense of safety, and to the quiet knowing of home within the body.

Functional Movement with Evan Cleveland
Tuesdays 8am-9am
Thrusdays 8Am-9am
Sundays 9Am-10am
What is Functional Range Conditioning?
The functional range conditioning system is about building a human frame that can perform the movements you want to do safely and efficiently. It's not about the movement. Its about understanding how to build the tools that you will need to perform the movements you want. It's all about getting the body ready for the stress the the tissues are about to be put under during training.
FRC is about building a base that is ready to withstand the insult that is training. It's not actually about any specific movement. It's about building the prerequisites that is needed to perform the movement you desire.
We need to train how our internal body functions before we start piling on external load.
In other words, if you can't pull yourself in and out of the desired movement without any external load, then it's a bad idea to add weight to the movement. It's a sure way to get injured or develop degenerate change to the tissues.
Internal training > External training.
