Equinox Yoga Flow

Join us in celebration of the upcoming Equinox, where twice a year the day and night are of equal length. Our asanas (poses) will reflect this balance through both grounded and standing postures including Sun Salutations.

October 4th
8:15 AM–9:00 AM

Tsunami HIIT

Returning by popular demand, our Tsunami workout will make you sweat! Tsunami incorporates HIIT combined with the added challenge of balancing on an instable board. Jumping into the water below to cool off afterward is a great start to the morning.

November 15th

Introduction to Yin

This Introduction to Yin flow is great for those trying out this variation of Yoga. Yin involves holding poses between 1-5 minutes for the body to fully sink into the stretch and also gain strength benefits by working the opposing muscle group(s).

Be ready to use the breath as a guide as we fully invest into asanas such as Child’s Pose, Lizard, Sleeping Pigeon, Banana, and Half or Full Splits.

Immersive Ai Chi

Come in to enjoy our water-based martial art form with the wonderful Rob Hendry!

Ai Chi is an aquatic exercise method inspired by Tai Chi and Qigong, performed in water to enhance relaxation and body awareness. It emphasizes active relaxation, postural control, and coordinated breathing, making it suitable for both wellness and therapeutic purposes.

Flow along as Rob guides you through posture to posture and enjoy the dichotomy of the body strength and relaxation at the same time. These classes also include a Sound Bath by the wonderful Sarah Brewer!
