Shala Offerings
Our shala offers practices dedicated to self-introspection, deep rest and connection to community.
Kirtan
Kirtan is the chanting of devotional mantras in community. Deeply rooted within the traditions of Bhakti Yoga, kirtan gives us an opportunity to connect more deeply to ourselves and others. It is said that through engaging in kirtan, we are able to slowly but inevitably loosen the knots within our spiritual heart.
Mantra is the bridge which allows us to connect more deeply to our divine selves; kirtan is the bridge that unites us with our spiritual community.
Benefits : A feeling of connection to the Heart, release of tension in the voice, connection to community
Yoga Nidra
Yoga nidra is a completely guided meditation which allows us to deeply rest in a state between sleep and wakefulness. It is practiced lying down in savasana position with additional props provided.
This is also an accessible meditation for anyone with limited mobility or issues with traditional sitting meditations.
Benefits : Reset your nervous system, relief from stress, anxiety & insomnia
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga is a movement practice which places a focus on slowness, relaxation and compassion for the body. This allows us the space to explore what happens when we give ourselves the time and space to breathe.
This is an accessible yoga practice supported by props which can be adapted to include practitioners of different abilities and experience level.
Benefits : Deep body & mind relaxation, feeling of being nurtured & cared for
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga invites you to slow down - to soften into long-held poses that open the body’s deeper layers and restore balance to your energy flow.
Benefits : Releases tension, increases flexibility
Mythic Flow
Mythic Flow integrates the stories & practices of yoga in a 90 minute Vinyasa class. Each class begins with storytelling about a hero or heroine and how we can bring the wisdom of these stories to our yoga practice in a meaningful way.
This class is open level and welcomes beginning practitioners as well as intermediate practitioners.
Benefits: Increased mental & physical strength & flexibility, new perspectives
Hatha Flow
Hatha flow allows oneself to interlace the breath, movement and stillness. Moving through dynamic flows and holding the pose longer to allow time for the mind to settle, and the effects of the asana to be felt. As we practice the connection of the breath and movement, it allows us cultivate awareness to the present, the body and the mind.
This class is open level but is recommended for beginning practitioners looking to build their asana foundations.
Benefits: Increased mental & physical strength & flexibility
Sound Bath
This class starts with few minutes of gentle movement to land into the body. It then finishes with a sound bath with Himalayan bowls to promote relaxation and balance.
The class is appropriate for all levels of experience and mobility.
Benefits : Full body & mind relaxation, relief from stress & anxiety
Post Surf Deep Stretch
Deep stretch involves holding a stretch for an extended period to improve flexibility by targeting hard-to-reach muscles and tissues. It often uses slow, deliberate movements, and breathing techniques to allow the body to relax and lengthen.
Benefits: Tension relief, increased range of motion over time, lower likelihood of injury
Vinyasa Flow
Vinyasa Flow links the body's movement with the breath, creating a fluid, dance-like sequence. The Sanskrit word "vinyasa" means "to place in a special way," and this refers to the intentional and coordinated transition between poses, where each movement is guided by an inhale or exhale.
Benefits: Builds strength, flexibility, and stamina, promotes mindfulness and stress relief
