    We are located above Olive That Deli. The door to our space is accessed on the east side of the building and you will turn left to go up the stairs.

  • The most important thing is that you are comfortable—wear clothing that you can move in. Semi-fitted clothing with moisture-wicking capabilities is an added bonus; some of our classes will make you sweat! All classes are barefoot.

  • While some are more beginner-friendly, like our Warm Slow Vinyasa Flow, in all classes, our instructors offer levels and modifications throughout class to accommodate all. Please let your instructor know if it is your first class to further assist you personally.

  • While, ultimately, participation in class is at a parent’s discretion, we don’t recommend our standard, heated, drop-in classes for yogis who have not yet gone through puberty.

    We expect that all class participants will be kind, courteous, and appropriately behaved during class.

    All waivers must be acknowledged and signed by a parent/guardian either online or in person before practicing at the studio.

  • We highly recommend speaking with your doctor. They will know what’s best for you and your specific needs. Typically, non-heated or low heated classes are best for pregnant women; be sure to consult with your doctor before you take any of our classes while pregnant.

  • You will want to bring a yoga mat and water bottle. We do offer these for an additional charge if you forget.

  • Hot Classes: For our classes listed as “hot” classes, our target temperature is above body temperature to encourage a healthy sweat.

    Warm Classes: For our classes listed as “warm” classes, our room is gently heated to just below body temperature.

    Unheated Classes: Our room, when unheated, sits about 75-80 degrees, so while there is no heat engaged during these classes, you will feel comfortable and cozy.
