Our yoga offerings
We can't wait to meet you! All of our lessons (mysore & led) are intended for all levels and walks of life. Please book your spot in advance or and we will help you with rest.*
Our classes are rooted in and influenced by the Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga method. We offer personal attention and guidance in our mysore program and all of our led Ashtanga and Vinyasa classes. Whether new to yoga or an experienced practitioner, come breath with us.
Vinyasa
A dynamic class centered around the classical movements of the sun salutations. Anchor your mind on your breath and use the physical postures to find strength and or create space where you need it. Sequences are inspired by the Ashtanga method. Modifications are provided to support the level of the student and the teacher provides hands-on assistance. Fundamentals, all levels, and experienced levels classes are offered.
Mysore Style Ashtanga
The traditional way of learning Ashtanga Yoga as developed by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, India and taught by his students all over the world. Self-led practice in a group setting with one-to-one attention and guidance from the teacher, allowing you to learn at a pace suitable to you and your abilities. Both beginners and experienced practitioners are welcome. This is intended as a daily practice with one day of rest. Moon days are observed, mysore practice is cancelled on these days.
Introduction to mysore
This Introduction to Mysore course is intended for students interested in learning the traditional method of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. The course is designed for the absolute beginner, yogis transitioning from other styles and led classes, and more experienced practitioners looking to rebuild their practice after time away or recovery from an injury. Instruction will be given during the on-going evening Mysore classes to which you are being introduced. For more information click here.
Ashtanga Modified Primary Series
This class is based on the Ashtanga Primary series and is modified to accommodate all levels of practitioners. Not all seated postures are included and some vinyasas may be omitted. For those not yet familiar with the Ashtanga Vinyasa method of practice, you may find that you feel lost and that is okay. Remember, we all have to start somewhere!
Ashtanga Led
This is a led practice of the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga - this class is led in English and Sanskrit. This class will be adjusted to the level of the students present and may be the traditionally counted full series, half primary series, or a modified practice to address what is needed by the practitioners at that moment. All levels are welcome - follow along, modify or to choose to stop at an earlier familiar posture. This class is not recommended for those unfamiliar with Ashtanga and is generally intended for those familiar with at least part of the sequence. If you are new to Ashtanga led practice or are a beginner and still want to try this practice, please let the teacher know and be open to the learning process, you may feel overwhelmed or lost and just remember that we all felt that way in the beginning too.
Ashtanga Modified
This class explores essential postures of the Ashtanga Vinyasa system often in a slower form with longer holds to accommodate multiple levels of practitioners and explore the physical and energetic alignment of postures. Great for those looking to learn a strong foundation, for those practicing for a while looking to understand the postures more deeply, for practitioners looking to explore new postures and those working with injury or illness. Fundamental postures as well as patterns within families of postures will be explored from the Primary as well as other series. Not recommended for beginners or those unfamiliar with the Ashtanga Vinyasa method of practice. This practice will be adapted to the students present.
Gentle Vinyasa
A more gentle, slower-paced vinyasa practice to slow down and release tension. Great for those looking to restore after a long day of work, during moondays and lady holidays, as well as mothers-to-be and beginners. A beautiful compliment to more dynamic practices.
Restorative Yoga
Defined as ‘the use of props to support the body in positions of ease and comfort, to facilitate relaxation and health’, Restorative Yoga as taught in the Judith Hanson Lasater method is about opening, not stretching. The goal is to shift into parasympathetic dominance (aka rest-and-digest mode), something every body needs to function at its best. This process takes time, so each class includes only a few postures. In today’s busy world, it’s a chance to slow down and focus less on doing and more on being. No yoga experience is necessary. Please bring socks and warm clothes or layers.
Yin Yoga
Yin yoga is a very slow and meditative practice, where postures are held between 2-8 minutes, allowing a deep inward focus to observe sensations, emotions and energy. This practice releases blockages and tension in the body and mind, which at times may be challenging but overall allows for deep relaxation. Like other classes in the studio no music is played and with permission, the teacher gives hands-on assists.
Private yoga
A one-on-one session for those who prefer to work more closely with a teacher on understanding the practice of yoga, improving technique, rehabilitating from an illness or injury, or looking for a practice tailored to specific needs. To schedule a private session please contact us here.
The Listening Space
A community circle for honest reflection on the yoga path. A free monthly gathering at The Breathing Space for yoga students — both within our community and beyond — who want to reflect, share, and grow together. We may begin with a short reading, but the heart of our time is open dialogue and svadhyaya: self-study through conversation. Bring your questions, your struggles, and your lived experience — whatever feels true. All are welcome.
