Class Descriptions

At Shanti, all students are welcomed and respected, from those who have never set foot in a yoga studio, to seasoned practioners.

Given that our classes are all levels, in a given moment you may see a student resting comfortably on their knees in Child’s Pose, while another stands comfortably on their hands in Handstand. We encourage you to use your practice as a living, breathing expression of the yoga tenet of Satya; truth. Living into your truth on the mat is how you’ll keep your body safe and your mind clear.

To find out more specifics about a teachers style (whether they play music for example!), check out our teacher bios.

Shanti Heated & Mildly Heated Flow: All Levels

Our heated vinyasa flow classes are open to all levels of experience with the understanding that students work within their comfort. There is no expectation that all poses/variants offered are taken. Classes move at a fluid pace and on the breath, but offer plenty of space for modifications as well as advancements. Be prepared to sweat, laugh and leave class feeling rejuvenated and vibrant.

Stretch & Restore: All Levels

This 60-minute class will incorporate all of the physical benefits and mindfulness practices of our Shanti Flow classes, in a warm room and without repetitive Vinyasa Flow (High to low push up, upward facing dog, downward facing dog).  Both standing and floor poses will be explored and students are encouraged, as always, to move at their own pace.  Restorative poses using bolsters, blankets, and blocks will also be offered at certain points during the class. 

Barre: All Levels

Our Barre classes are high energy, playful and challenging. You’ll start with a warm up and sequence of upper-body exercises, which include free weights, push-ups, planks and other moves to target the biceps, triceps, chest, and back muscles. Next, you’ll use the ballet barre and your own body weight for resistance to focus on the thigh and seat muscles. Classes will always include core work and are set to up-tempo music in a non-heated room. Students are encouraged to wear socks with grips on the bottom for traction (we sell them right at the studio!).

Barre Tabata

This high energy class combines the strengthening, toning and lengthening moves of a traditional barre class with short bursts of cardio (20 seconds on, 10 seconds off) that will get your heart rate up and burn calories and fat. With an extra emphasis on building core strength, this full body workout will leave you feeling energized and refreshed.

Barre & Core

Our Barre & Core class delivers EVERYTHING you love about barre with the added burn of some seriously strengthening Pilates abdominal exercises.  Expect upper body work with light weights, leg/glut work and plenty of attention given to cultivating a strong core!
