Wear shoes for hip hop and jazz funk classes, ballet and contemporary classes can be taken in bare feet, socks or ballet shoes.
What do I need for a yoga class?
Come to yoga ready to relax your mind and move your body. When you come to class you’ll want to bring your yoga mat, water and an open mind. We provide yoga mats and props if you don’t have one.
What is a conditioning class?
Conditioning classes include Stretch, meditation and Weekly Reset classes. During these 60-minute classes we focus on flexibility, strength and restoration of the body. These classes are a good compliment to dance and yoga, as well as cardio, jogging, cycling and weight lifting.
Do I need to be flexible to practice yoga?
There are endless ways to practice yoga, both on and off of the mat. Physical flexibility is one result of a regular practice, but most people don’t start out that way. We make sure that beginners always have adequate props and instructions, so that your class is both comfortable and enjoyable.
How much does it cost?
We offer all new members their first month of unlimited classes for $45, and $69 each month after. The monthly rate includes access to all yoga, dance and conditioning classes, plus discounts on certain events and more. Single drop in classes are $20.
