Basics hour-long

This hour-long basics class is an opportunity to engage in a focused and targeted practice on days when time is more limited.  The class is appropriate for brand new beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners.

Basics

We guide students into their bodies through this ancient practice in a decidedly modern context. We make classes fun, non-intimidating, and demystify the yoga postures with precise instruction. As your “on the mat” confidence grows, don’t be surprised if the confidence shows up “off the mat” as well.

All Levels

All Levels is suitable for those with at least six months consistent yoga experience. All Levels classes link poses with breath and provide students with options to challenge and surrender their practice. The morning All Levels classes are geared towards energizing the body and clearing the mind. The evening All Levels class balances a strong practice with more chill sequences to unwind from your day.

Intermediate/Advanced

Learn to check into your body in a world that supports checking out. Intermediate/Advanced is for practitioners with a consistent yoga practice (at least one year). More challenging variations of poses are taught in a vinyasa format, including arm balances and inversions.  Not suitable for beginners.  Intermediate/Advanced classes are 90 minutes.

Intermediate hour-long

You’ve gained the confidence from a consistent practice, now you are ready for more!  Spend more time on the nuances in transitions between poses and continue to build your strength and your skill.

These hour long classes provide you with more practice options at Mala.

Flow & Restore

At the end of a long work day what could be better better than moving the body and then going to sleep.  Flow & restore connects you to your breath, allowing you to create a meditation practice through movement, while working out the kinks in the body. Afterwards you can settle into a serene place through postures designed to restore your nervous system.

Prenatal

Learn tips and tools to stay comfortable and strong in your body as it changes at a rapid pace! Prenatal yoga supports seasoned yoginis as well as the beginning yoga student. At Mala you will learn how to safely and effectively customize your yoga practice through all stages of your pregnancy.

Baby & Me

Baby & me classes allow new parents to step into a community of supportive practice during one of life’s greatest transitions. Come stretch, strengthen and learn to realign your body while practicing with your baby.

We ask that you wear your baby to class.  If you bring a stroller, it must be broken down, taken upstairs and placed in the hallway bathroom.
