ASHTANGA INSPIRED

Inspired by the Ashtanga Yoga style, this modified primary class will allow you to build strength and flexibility in both body and mind. Each time we’ll focus on one pose or important transition.

HEATED PILATES

Tap into your “powerhouse” - a.k.a. your core abdominals, lower back muscles, pelvic floor, hips and glutes. Through a series of low impact floor exercises, this workout helps to build, sculpt and tone your muscles, helping them to burn calories during and after class! Pilates is a wonderful compliment to any yoga or fitness routine. Classes are heated to 85-90 degrees.

STRENGTH & CONDITIONING

Build strength, endurance, and condition your body for all that life throws at it. A circuit-style workout with body-weight exercises, free weights and cardio elements, Strength and Conditioning will get your heartrate up and use resistance to build strength and tone muscle. This class is the perfect compliment to a regular yoga practice.

TONE & FLOW

This class is the perfect compliment to a regular yoga practice. You’ll combine free weights, squats, lunges, yoga postures, cardio, and upbeat tunes to build lean muscle strength, tone your body and boost metabolism. Remember to bring your water bottle!

RESTORATIVE YOGA

Unwind in this restorative class that uses bolsters and blocks to set your body up for total relaxation. The use of various props to support the body in positions of comfort and ease is designed to facilitate relaxation and improved health, gently encouraging your body into a state of equanimity.

STRONG YIN

Long holds in intense stretches will melt your consciousness (and body) open. Relaxing your connective tissue and fascia, your body will respond by making it longer and stronger. Strong Yin will challenge and confront all parts of you, and you choose the degree to which you scale things up or down. In either case, you’ll increase flexibility in the physical being and mind, one breath at a time. A perfect complement to your vinyasa practice in promoting awareness, we’ll end class with a brief flow to embrace the opening created. Be prepared to go deep.

HEATED VINYASA TO YIN

Immerse yourself in the warm embrace of our 75-minute "Heated Vinyasa to Yin" class, where the invigorating energy of Vinyasa meets the tranquil depths of Yin Yoga in a room heated to 90 degrees. Begin with an energizing Heated Vinyasa sequence, focusing on breath-led movements that build strength, flexibility, and inner bliss. As the heat loosens muscles and encourages flexibility, you'll find yourself diving deeper into each posture. The class culminates with 20 minutes of Yin Yoga, inviting you into a world of prolonged, restorative stretches that target connective tissues and promote profound relaxation. This balanced fusion offers a holistic experience that enhances flexibility, releases stress, and nurtures complete well-being, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and centered. Join us for this transformative journey from movement to stillness, heat to surrender.

COMMUNITY CLASS

This vinyasa based Community Yoga Class is taught by rotating instructors who are graduates from Kala's Yoga Teacher Training or new yoga teachers on our amazing Work Exchange Team! These classes are offered on a donation basis to the community. It's a great way to allow a space for all to practice and for aspiring yoga teachers to blossom in their teaching skills!

GUIDED MEDITATION

Join us and allow yourself to be guided through a short 10 minute meditation. Learn how to arrange your posture, set a motivation, be with your breath, and dedicate your practice. No experience is necessary. This class is donation based, with a suggested donation of $5. Kala Yoga will donate 25% of all meditation revenue to the Sakya Center.

YOGA NIDRA

Yoga nidra, or yogic sleep as it is commonly known, is an immensely powerful meditation & relaxation technique, and one of the easiest yoga practices to develop and maintain. Students lay down and rest comfortably in a reclined posture (savasana) while the teacher guides you through an entire body relaxation and journey of the consciousness that will help you transform. You'll leave with a sense of wholeness and deep relaxation.
