wednesdays 7.45pm
sundays 10amthis class infuses innovative sequencing into a classic vinyasa flow, using pranayama (the breath) as a constant. classes will include strengthening and lengthening of the body, while moving through sequences of asanas (poses). focusing on the body’s relationship to the ground, students will find centering and alignment. throughout our flow students are encouraged to take up space and move with expression. celebrating what our bodies can do and supporting what our bodies need, this class offers opportunities for inversions as well as modifications to accommodate all levels and preferences.

this class is the heart of bodycraft. from start to finish, we create a seamless, fluid journey in and out of the floor, alternating between dance cardio and bodyweight strength training. this is a full body experience, with dynamic movement meant to take up space and express. we close with a cool down and nourishing meditation. you will leave feeling cleansed and energized, and more connected to yourself.
