Welcome Back!
It's a relief to finally be able to have our doors open! We will continue to do so in a responsible and conscientious manner based on evolving state and city regulations. Our in-studio classes are strictly limited both in terms of number of classes offered and size of class. Things remain in flux; be sure to check the class schedule on a regular basis.
First Classes to Open In-Studio
Beginning on Monday, June 8, 2020 we began offering, in addition to our virtual classes, a limited number of in-studio, live-streamed classes. As part of our protocols, the class size for in-studio attendance is limited to 10 or less. Live streaming creates two options for you - the opportunity to attend live and in-person, and the choice for a streamed, virtual experience.
For live-streamed classes, you will see two classes in the same time slot on our class schedule . One is an option to sign-up for the in-studio class, and the other for the live-streaming class. They will be clearly labeled as either "virtual" or "in-studio." Please pay close attention to your selection to ensure you are booking the class you desire. If you do not feel comfortable attending an in-studio class or a virtual class, please consider a private in-studio yoga session. Please contact us to schedule a one-on-one experience.
NOTE: In-studio classes will be offered at the regular in-studio rates and virtual classes will be offered at virtual rates. Please contact us to discuss pricing of private sessions.
