These beginner-friendly active practices are a great way to start exploring our Library and evoke your curiosity about this rich practice. 

Ready for a bit more?  While still approachable classes, here we explore a little more depth with active movements and strength enhancing postures.

Up for a challenge? Let’s dive deeper with our strongest Yoga practices! After an active warm up fluidly linking one pose with the next we’ll explore longer-held postures to help increase strength & stability. 

If a mat-based Yoga practice is not right for you try one of our Chair Classes. We start seated with easy upper-body movements followed by a few standing postures for balance and a short relaxation that can be done on the floor or couch. 

The title of this category speaks for itself: practices focusing on mindfulness, inward attention, breathwork and exploring the quieter mysteries found within.

Here you'll find a mix of inspiration talks, philosophy, plus practices linked with a deep inner inquiry to explore the subtler, essential questions we all face.
