I’ve never done yoga before. Where should I start?
We love welcoming beginners. If you’re curious about hot yoga, Hot Foundations Flow is a great place to start. It’s heated, approachable, and focused on building strength, confidence, and familiarity with common poses.
If you prefer a non-heated option, Everyday Movement focuses on functional mobility and is perfect for recovery, stepping into movement for the first time, or easing in at your own pace. Yin is also a wonderful choice if you’re looking to slow down, stretch deeply, and reset.
