CLASSES
Our in-studio and at-home yoga classes begin with a centering moment to focus on your breath and to calm your mind. Each class ends with savasana – a deep relaxation for your body, mind, and spirit.
Our teachers carefully curate playlists for their classes that match the energy and intention of each Moonbird Yoga class inviting you to drift into moments of bliss.
Flow
Move and breathe.
Transitions are as meaningful as landing the pose to come.
Flow classes allow your body freedom to explore mobility and strength, moving as your breath guides the way. The sequence of poses leads you on a journey of discovery, awareness, and understanding.
Flow
Flow (vinyasa) classes offer an experience of awareness and presence, as you discover yourself in your breath, through rhythmic movement and meditative flow. Expect a mind and body experience of connection, and leave your practice feeling a sense of balance and clarity.
Flow+Align
Flow+Align classes combine the best of strength and stability with a steady flow, allowing you to truly feel your way into the pose. Flow classes allow your body freedom to explore mobility and strength, moving as your breath guides the way, while align classes are focused on slow isometric muscle engagement. Expect an experience of feeling it all, finding stability in strength and mobility within the release of a deep stretch.
Flow+Stretch
Flow+Stretch classes give you extra time to enjoy a slower flow and more space to explore what you are seeking in your practice. Expect more time to warm up and prepare your body for a paced flow, followed by longer stretch holds.
Flow+Lift
Flow+Lift classes add another layer of challenge to your practice with the addition of hand weights with the goal of building muscle. Expect to warm up with a variety of flow sequences, followed by circuit training built into a yoga sequence.
Flow+Tone
Flow+Tone classes offer sculpting options woven into vinyasa sequencing, such as repetitive muscle toning and strength building variations using your body weight, bands, or light hand weights. Expect to find your breath in your yoga flow while feeling the burn of your favorite pilates-inspired resistance training.
Flow+Set
Flow+Set classes offer a practice that remains mostly consistent from week to week. The customized vinyasa sequence allows you to anticipate the next pose, knowing your breath will carry you through the transition. Expect to discover your own meditative flow as the sequence has subtle variations offered from week to week.
Flow+Fly
Flow+Fly classes offer options to take your practice in new directions, exploring possibilities of what this moment brings, incorporating laughter and challenge together. Expect an opportunity to pick up the pace and rediscover your bliss with an exhilarating flow, incorporating extra challenging poses, always optional.
ALIGN
Hold and breathe.
Develop strength and stability by moving slowly, with intention.
Align classes offer you space to learn and delve deeper into your practice. Explore what is true to you, giving yourself space in this moment to feel your way into alignment and build a strong and safe foundation of both strength and flexibility.
Align
Align is an all level practice allowing the opportunity to practice stability and flexibility safely. Moving slowly between poses brings into focus how we breathe within the challenge of a pose. Expect to move intentionally and find challenge within stillness, noticing how the connection of our mind and body defines our strength.
Align+Somatic
Align+Somatic classes allow you to tune into sensation of your body and release tension, in your muscles and your thoughts. Expect to experience the ultimate connection between your emotions and how your body feels, whether the movement is subtle like your breath lifting your chest, or bigger like muscles firing while holding a yoga pose.
Align+Rest
Align+Rest classes are a wonderful way to gift yourself with a slow moving, stability-focused practice, followed by a lovely restorative practice. Expect a gentle guide into your strength and then savor dedicated time for blissful rest.
Align+Ignite
Align+Ignite is challenging stability and strength practice, with extra offerings which may include core work, arm balances or inversions. Expect to be challenged in unexpected ways and to feel muscle engagement by actively holding poses, preparing your body for a peak pose or intensity.
Restore
Surrender into stillness.
Our most gentle practice invites relaxation, release and ease. Allow in the tenderness that only you can offer to yourself, with the support of props provided by the instructor. This restorative practice provides a safe, supportive space for us to navigate stress and injury, while allowing our nervous system to reset.
Yin
Release resistance, passively.
Yin classes invite you to steady your mind while seeking the edge of comfort, as we target the deep connective tissues, such as ligaments, tendons, and fascia, rather than the muscles. Holding our bodies in poses or shapes that ask us to be mindful and introspective, Yin is a deeply personal practice, allowing us to seek and understand our boundaries.
Yin+Sound
Yin+Sound expands the practice taking us from the edge of discomfort to the healing vibrations of a sound bath, allowing your body and mind to be soothed into its natural rhythm.
All classes are open level
The beginner learns asana (poses) through detailed explanation of technique, building strength and stability safely. The experienced student is challenged by diving deeper into poses.
some classes are offered heated
We offer some heated classes, and this is noted on the class schedule. The room is heated by infrared ceiling panels, so that the body feels the warmth. You will create your own heat through movement, and the more humidity in the room (and outside such as in the summer months), the more you may sweat. We encourage all of our students to try a heated class, since the heat is considerably more comfortable than forced air and has wonderful health benefits for the body.
Private Instruction
Not ready to join a group class? Or perhaps you want some individual instruction to move you forward in your practice? Based upon individual needs, private sessions range from detailed pose guidance and deep adjustments, injury recovery, pre and post-natal yoga, cancer recovery, to in-depth meditation instruction. Private lessons provide the opportunity to ask questions and receive personal instruction.
