Free Group Fitness Yoga Classes
Gentle Flow Yoga
This class features slow-paced postures and attention to breath. Participants should feel comfortable being on hands and knees and getting up and down from the floor. As an entry-level class, this is a good place to learn poses and relaxation techniques, become comfortable with yoga or balance your fitness routine.
Intensity Level: 1
Hatha Yoga
In a Hatha class, a sequence of poses, breathwork and meditation are intentionally woven to revitalize the flow of energy in the body. Movements are often taken at a slower pace, though that does not necessarily mean they offer less challenge.
Intensity Level: 2
Restorative Yoga
Enjoy a practice that moves through a few poses, resting in each one supported by bolsters, blankets and other props. The physical body will experience the opening and softening effects, while the mind is nourished by time for conscious rest. Friendly to beginners and beneficial to those recovering from other training or simply the tasks of the week!
Intensity Level: 1
SilverSneakers® Yoga
This sneaker-friendly class begins seated in a chair to center and warm up the body. Participants are invited (though not required) to stand for a majority of class, with the option of chair support, to move through standing poses offering flexibility, balance and range of motion. To finish, class ends in a chair with seated poses and a final relaxation.
Intensity Level: 1
Vinyasa Yoga
Vinyasa means breath-synchronized movement, and consists of strong, flowing breath-based movement. A regular yoga practice is encouraged, but not required.
Intensity Level: 2
