Class Descriptions
Most classes are offered in a heated environment. While the temperature generally runs between 80 and 90 degrees, some classes vary depending on the teacher and needs of the students. All Kids’ and Restorative Flow classes are low heat.
Vinyasa/EMVY classes
Be. in Union yoga is EMVY (EMpowerment Vinyasa Yoga).
Vinyasa simply means incorporating breath with movement. Be. in Union yoga is Vinyasa based, but philosophically, we at Be. believe that there is a significant difference between “power” and “empower(ment).” Therefore, less stress is placed on the heat or the “power” aspect of this yoga practice. Our intention is on making students really own and feel empowered by their practice, in every sense of the word. We’re simple trying to get the message out that yoga is about YOU.
All of our classes at Be. are founded on the notion of empowerment. All EMVY classes are All Levels classes.
All Levels
Designed for practitioners whose yoga practices range from the most novice to the most seasoned. Emphasis is given to the sequencing and connection of postures with modifications for all levels.
Foundations
Our Foundations class focuses on the fundamentals of alignment necessary for building a strong, safe yoga practice. This class is designed for new students or for seasoned students wanting to reinforce the foundation of their practice.
Community Class
An all-levels class sometimes taught by student teachers who are involved in a mentoring program with a seasoned teacher. These classes exemplify our service to our community by creating a space for collective learning.
Family Yoga
Kids (2+) and parents welcome! This non-heated class will explore yoga poses that are inspired by nature. From Tree to Camel, each class will wind its way through an intelligent and kid-friendly sequence that’ll build confidence in children, flexibility in Mom and Dad and above all inspire fun for the whole family.
be.-team/KIDS’ YOGA
This class is for children between the ages of 3-8 years old. We will combine fun, strength, agility, discipline, respect and self-awareness in a playful environment (emphasis on the playful!)
Be. the CHANGE (donation based*)
Yes, this class is donation based. Whether you give one penny or the kitchen sink, our commitment to the community is to make yoga accessible to everyone. Come join us for what promises to be a fun, open class for all levels. Mat, towel, water costs still apply.
Power Flow
An hour-long vinyasa flow that gives space for building strength, finding relaxation, and attaining flexibility in our busy schedules. This is an all-levels class.
Restorative Flow
The Restorative Flow, led in a GENTLY heated room, focuses on calming and soothing poses that encourage letting go of physical and emotional stress. This class is the perfect antidote to an active life and balances a more vigorous asana practice.
Open Flow
This class is an opportunity for all practitioners, new and seasoned, to build on their practice and learn new poses (including arm balances and inversions), modifications, and variations of flow.
Open Workshop
This free workshop is open to all levels and all members of our community. Emphasis will be placed on poses and flow sequencing from the Power Flow which begins immediately afterward, however students will also have the opportunity to ask questions, practice or learn poses and variations they wish to build on, play with arm balances and inversions, and work on integrating mindful breathing techniques.
Private Sessions
60-minute and 90-minute private sessions provide the opportunity to work one-on-one with our teachers on any aspect of your practice. Contact a teacher after class or via email to set up a private session.
