KIND Yoga celebrates the uniqueness of everyone that chooses to approach their mats.

With diversity in mind, our instructors offer creative adaptations to all postures to ensure that all levels of abilities can practice successfully and reap the benefits. We believe in maintaining a beginners mindset, and most importantly, that every class is for every body. Trust yourself and trust us as we move together.

 

Hatha Yoga

Hatha is a style of yoga comprised of standing and floor postures that are static and held for several breaths at a time. Hatha yoga is moderately paced and typically follows a gradual intensity arc that progressively leads students through a warm up followed by a heat generating phase that eventually leads to more complex and physically challenging postures. The arc is completed with a lengthy cool down. View Schedule

 

Flow Yoga

Vinyasa is a steady paced energizing style of yoga where poses are dynamically flowing from one to the next. The transition of poses are coordinated with cycles of breath, making this practice a “moving meditation”. A Vinyasa class is comprised of a brief warm up followed by a long and sustained heat building phase that increases in intensity eventually leading to a peak pose or sequence. Generally the majority of the class is spent on the heat building phase with a shorter warm up and cool down. View Schedule

 

Slow Flow Yoga

A Slow Flow is a derivative of our Flow. This class is moderately paced, with sustained and dynamic movements that flow in synchronicity with breath. While a traditional Vinyasa Flow is faster paced with one breath per movement, a Slow Flow invites space for students to pause and land in postures before moving on to the next. View Schedule

 

Yin Yoga

Y. in yoga is a passive form of yoga consisting of longer-held poses that encourage the temporary release of tension in the body using supported stretching to access deeper ranges of motion. Often props are utilized to enhance and amplify the effects of each pose. Though Yin yoga is not considered physically strenuous, the stillness of the practice invites a humbling challenge for the mind. Yin classes often thread in Buddhist mindfulness concepts and meditation techniques to strengthen the mind and invite a tone of intentionality to the practice. View Schedule

 

Yang & Yin Yoga

Yang and Yin is a fusion of our Flow and Yin class. The first 30-40 minutes is an active and energizing Vinyasa Flow followed by a contemplative Yin Yoga portion. The combination of Flow and Yin creates a balance of challenge and surrender, effort and ease. View Schedule

 

Restorative Yoga

Restorative is a passive and cozy form of yoga featuring a handful of easeful postures held for several minutes at a time. Comfort being the focus, poses are often supported by the use of props relieving any effort or strain. A Restorative class focuses on stress reduction by intentionally slowing down and activating the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls the bodies ability to relax. When the parasympathetic response is stimulated, the body can effectively slow down the heart rate, breathing, and increase blood flow to vital organs while calming the mind. View Schedule
