Weekly Class Descriptions

Please note that all current weekly classes–except Ron’s T/W class series–are drop in friendly and do not require pre-registration.


Restorative Yin with Karen

Mondays @ 9:30am

Yin yoga is a healing practice that increases mobility in the joints, ligaments and fascial networks. This passive practice moves one into stillness, allowing healthful benefits to occur in the body as well as the mind.

This Yin practice provides the opportunity to slow
down and give yourself the ultimate gift, the gift of creating space in the body and the mind that may not have been there before. Take the time to connect with the present moment, and notice how your perspective begins to shift.

This challenging practice will leave you relaxed, energized and mindfully at peace.

Mindful Flow with Mary June

Mondays @ 12pm

This class uses the linkage of movement with breath to create a mindful yoga experience as we move through a slow to moderate paced Vinyasa-style flow. Each class centers on a specific theme to help practitioners find that mind-body connection and cultivate focus during the practice, allowing the mind to become quiet and tension and stress to leave the body.

Examples of themes explored in class include more mentally challenging practices like working with balance or brain health; more physical practices focusing on diverse areas such as building and maintaining bone health, strengthening and stretching areas such as the hips or upper body, and working with backbends; to energetics, such as a chakra theme or an energy grounding practice. There is lots of variety in this class and something for everyone as we focus on cultivating and maintaining the health of our minds, bodies, souls, emotions, and energy fields.

Yoga Basics with Claire

Mondays @ 5:45pm

Claire loves the mindfulness of yoga – connecting movement with breath, and the beauty of learning to be ok with where you are at that moment. Her class is based on an Iyengar-based practice which is focused on alignment, breath, strengthening and lengthening. Most classes are balanced beginner flows with liberal instruction and use of props.

Yoga for Gentle Grounding with Rachel

Tuesdays @ 10am

Yoga for Gentle Grounding offers a gentle, balanced combination of yoga poses, stretching, conscious breathing, and intervals of relaxation and reflection. We will emphasize seated and reclined poses, offering us the opportunity to connect with the earth and feel rooted in our bodies. Supported by the ground and within ourselves, we will cultivate calmness, while continuing to build strength and flexibility.

This class is suitable for all practitioners. Beginners to yoga are welcome, as are those with somewhat reduced mobility. There are also benefits for more experienced yogis who would like the time and space afforded by a slow-paced class to enter deeply into the poses and to practice grounding and reconnecting with themselves.

Gentle Yoga & Meditation with Wayne

Tuesdays @ 12pm

Unlike Hatha Yoga, this gentle Kundalini class employs lots of movement but does not require precise alignment or advanced knowledge of yoga asanas.  Unlike vinyasa or Pilates, it’s not a physical workout in the usual sense.  The emphasis is on meditation, focusing on the breath to lead the movements and cultivating awareness of every sensation in the body.

Alignment Yoga Level II/III with Ron

Tuesdays @ 6:30pm

This class is an upper-level class, so you have already earned your stripes by being in several series of an alignment style (like Iyengar) yoga at Level 1. This class builds on that beginner’s level, refines it with more advanced poses and introduces you to a theme type practice.

This class is taught in an 8-week series format, but drop-ins will be allowed with permission from the teacher. Please check with Ron directly for pricing, registration, and other class information.

Alignment Yoga Level 2 with Ron

Wednesdays @ 7pm

This class is an upper level, so you have already earned your stripes by being in several series of an alignment style (like Iyengar) yoga at Level 1. This class builds on that beginner’s level, refines it with more advanced poses and introduces you to a theme type practice. A theme could be a class focusing on back bends or forward bends etc. In addition, you will be working on an inversion practice as your knowledge and experience as a beginner has taught you what not to do as compared to what you can do.

This class is taught in an 8-week series format, but drop-ins will be allowed with permission from the teacher. Please check with Ron directly for pricing, registration, and other class information.

Yin Yoga Series with Mary June

Fridays @ Noon (October 25th; November 8th, 16th, & 22nd; December 6th, 13th, & 27th)

“Harmony exists only when yin and yang are in balance.” 

Yin is a slow-paced and therapeutic style of yoga that uses a specific series of floor poses held for a length of time to provide a “deep tissue massage” for the body that also calms and balances mind, body, and soul. From this class, you will also see these benefits:
  • Improves flow of prana (energy) to the vital organs and the entire body
  • Releases fascia, therefore improving joint mobility and enhancing range of motion
  • Increases circulation and helps alleviate pain, stiffness, and tension
  • Less stress and anxiety and a deeper connection to self
  • A “workout” for your connective tissue, lubricating and lengthening tendons, ligaments, and fascia that don’t respond to more active forms of yoga or other exercises (yang)

Use your Breezeway class package or drop in for $15/class. Contact Mary June for more information about this series: maryjunethompson@hotmail.com


Slow Flow with Jill

Saturdays @ 9am

Jill’s Slow Flow class combines elements of traditional vinyasa yoga with strength and mobility work, offered at a slower pace and with creative sequencing to challenge both mind and body in new ways. She is a firm believer that one size does NOT fit all when it comes to alignment and encourages students to explore variations so they can get to know their own unique bodies better.

Yoga for Recovery with Labet
