Classes
Class Descriptions
Yoga is divided into 8 branches. One branch focuses on breathing exercises and another on physical postures (asanas). Together, these two branches make up Hatha Yoga.
All modern yoga styles are based on the poses you will learn and practice in our Hatha Yoga class. You will experience all of the benefits of yoga and learn poses to improve your balance, strength, flexibility, and internal awareness. The difference between classes centers on the intensity and duration of the postures practiced as well as the role of breathing. Room temperatures may also vary.
Gentle Yoga

The room is kept at a comfortable temperature. A great class for beginners and anyone seeking a rejuvenating and restorative yoga experience. Stretch, relax, and release your day.

Hot Yoga II
Our Hot Yoga class combines the best of our Vinyasa Flow classes with all the benefits of a heated room. Enjoy a detoxifying, full body workout that will both invigorate your body and mind. The room will be heated to a hot, yet safe, 85 to 90 degrees.
The safety zone for exercising in heat is based on a balance between temperature and humidity. The average humidity in San Diego is between 60 and 70 percent. Based on information provided by the American Council on Exercise we have chosen to offer hot yoga between 85 and 90 degrees. Please wear comfortable exercise clothing that you can sweat in. Persons with heart or blood pressure challenges should consult a doctor before practicing Hot Yoga.
