All Levels combines the flow of Vinyasa yoga with the precision of a classical practice. It is a strong class that includes the softer side of yoga and deep relaxation. As its name suggests, this class is designed to be appropriate for beginners to advanced practitioners.

Basics focuses on the fundamentals of alignment and breathing. The class moves at a slower pace to allow participants to understand, experience and strengthen the foundations of their practice. No prior yoga experience is necessary.
