Grow Your Flow (Yoga 1)

Spice level: 🌶️

Who’s it for? Beginners who want to build their practice, and yogis with some experience who want to rework the fundamentals.

Beginners and all levels

This accessible, breath-centered class is designed for beginners, yet excellent for all students to build strength, flexibility, balance, and confidence while learning foundational yoga postures, healthy alignment, and the connection between movement and breath. Expect a steady, supportive pace with clear guidance, simple transitions, and opportunities to modify throughout class. This class will leave you feeling centered, balanced, and open.

Grace & Strength Flow (Yoga 2)

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️

Who’s it for? Intermediate and experienced yogis returning to their practice.

Intermediate and experienced yogis

A dynamic intermediate flow practice that builds upon foundational postures and introduces fluid sequencing, sun salutations and vinyasas, balance work, strength, and more challenging transitions. Classes move at a moderate pace, with opportunities to deepen breath awareness, stamina, mobility, and focus, developing a balance between grace and strength on and off the mat. Students should feel comfortable with Sun Salutations and moving between poses with breath. This class will leave you feeling energized, exercised, and inspired.

Grace & Ignite (Yoga 2/3)

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Who’s it for? Intermediate and advanced yogis seeking to expand into more challenging transitions.

Intermediate and advanced yogis

A dynamic intermediate/advanced flow practice that introduces fluid sequencing, sun salutations and vinyasas, balance work, and more challenging transitions. Classes move at a moderate pace, with opportunities to deepen breath awareness, stamina, mobility, and focus, developing a balance between grace and strength on and off the mat. Students should feel comfortable with Sun Salutations, bring mindfulness and endurance, and be aware of their own limits within the practice. This class will leave you feeling ignited and whole.

Ignite Your Flow (Yoga 3)

Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Who’s it for? Experienced yogis seeking a challenge.

Experienced practitioners seeking a challenge

An advanced, energetic 75 to 90-minute flow class for experienced practitioners seeking challenge, creativity, and depth. Expect complex vinyasa sequences, arm balance/inversion options, and exploration of more advanced poses to cultivate effort and ease on and off the mat. This class requires students to bring curiosity, endurance, and mindfulness, and to be aware of their own limits within the practice. (While never required, a good measure for this class are students who are comfortable jumping back to Chaturanga or who can do Wheel pose.) This class will leave you feeling ignited and complete.

Yin

Spice level: 🌿

Who’s it for: Those seeking to slow it down and deepen their stretch and mind-body connection.

Open to everyone

This all-levels slow-paced practice involves holding floor-based poses for 3 to 10 minutes, often using props, and connecting to the breath to target deep connective tissues rather than muscles, with a focus on stretching and improving flexibility.

This class will make you feel deeply stretched, relaxed, and in synch with your body.

Restorative

Spice level: 🌿

Who’s it for: Those who want to chill out and relax.

Open to everyone

This all-levels slow-paced class uses extensive props (blankets, bolsters, and blocks provided) to fully support the body so it can fully relax. This class is more about relaxation of the nervous system than sensation and stretching, and promises to leave you mellow and at peace.

Devotion

Spice level: 🌿

Who’s it for: Those seeking to deepen the spiritual mind-body connection.

Open to everyone

Katonah-Inspired: DEVOTION is a transformative 45-minute seated practice that intricately weaves together meditation, mantra, prānāyāma, and kriyā techniques. This music-forward practice integrates various lineages. Each class is framed by a Sankalpā or intention. By tailoring the rhythm of the breath to the beat of the music, students are invited on a cathartic exploration of the Self, followed by 20 minutes of gentle movement to ease back into the day.
