Big Shoulders Yoga classes range from dynamic and challenging to gentle and restorative. Some classes are designed to build heat within the body and warm students up towards a "peak pose," while others have the goal of creating a relaxing and meditative experience. Our studio is kept warm, between 75°F and 85°F, we offer props and free mats for students to use in class. If you aren't sure which class to try first, we recommend starting with a Mild, Basics, or Restorative class.
Basics (Hatha Yoga)
Our basics classes are a great place to start if you are new to yoga, haven't practiced in a while, or are looking for a more chill practice that focuses on foundational poses. Expect to work on your strength and flexibility, move slowly, and learn to use props to support your practice.
Mild (Hatha Yoga)
Mild classes are the place to master the basics, work on alignment, strength, and flexibility while enjoying a dynamic workout. These classes tend to be more accessible and offer many variations on poses.
Medium (Hatha Yoga)
There is something for everyone in Medium classes, most poses will be offered with several variations so students can choose their desired level of intensity. Expect a whole-body workout and the chance to learn something new!
Spicy (Hatha Yoga)
In these classes we spice things up quite a bit. Expect creative sequences that include more challenging transitions and peak poses. These classes explore new and more advanced variations of poses you may not have encountered before. The unofficial goal of Spicy classes is for no student to be able to do every single posture or transition in the class.
Restorative
Our restorative classes ease students through a short gentle flow, followed by extended and supported yin-like holds, and a long Savasana. Expect dim lighting, soft music, and a lot of props. We like to think of them as moving naps!
Yoga with Your Little One
This class is a 'Come As You Are' kind of experience! From 1 month infants to toddlers, the first rule of Yoga with Your Little One is take care of yourself. If your baby or toddler needs to eat, sleep or cry this is a safe space for you to be you. The main intention of class is simply to nurture yourself while building community with other parents and little ones. Additionally you will have the opportunity to tone and stretch your muscles and breath deeply. Plus you will get to play with your baby! You will learn very sweet and gentle “baby yoga” moves to promote digestion, enhance circulation and elevate joy. Our little ones experience the world through the feelings in their body. The better flowing their body’s energy, the happier and healthier the child. A happy kid makes for a happy momma, pappa and family!
