Stretch + Breathe
Our most accessible, gentle class for all levels and abilities.  While being guided though various stretches, you will make space for your day, focus your energy, and connect deeply to your breath.

Yin + Hatha Yoga - Online
Yin yoga targets both the deep connective tissues between the muscles, and the fascia throughout the body. The aim is to increase circulation in the joints and improve flexibility as the poses stretch and exercise the bone and joint areas. It also helps us to regulate the body's flow of energy. Our traditional hatha yoga class is perfect for beginners or anyone looking to move a little slower and go a little deeper in their practice.

Gentle Yoga
Blending together concepts of restorative yoga, thoughtful stretching, yoga asanas, meditation, and mindful alignment, our gentle classes are a great complement to any of our yoga classes and/or the perfect class to take on its own. Whether you're an absolute beginner or an advanced practitioner looking to move slower and dig deeper, our gentle yoga classes are the perfect addition to your day. While moving at a slower pace, you'll give your body the attention it deserves.

…our Unwind, Slow Flow and most beginner-based classes are crafted in this mood.

Vinyasa Yoga
Connect your breath with your movement while being guided through the asanas (yoga poses).  Each Stone Wave teacher offers a slightly different approach to our vinyasa classes, so we encourage you to practice with all of us.  All levels are welcome, but a regular yoga practice and understanding of the asanas is recommended

Senior Well-Being
Senior Well-Being Class is perfect for students over 60 years old, beginners, or those returning to yoga. You can expect a gentle flow, meditation, breathing, stretching, time for props and adjustments as well as work on alignment and balance.

Sculpt
Rooted in the traditions of Vinyasa Yoga, our Yoga Sculpt classes work to strengthen and lengthen the muscles we use in most yoga classes. We'll focus on what's being engaged, what's being stretched, and what the correct alignment is for each asana. Classes are a combination of flow, holding/maintaining the poses, and proper breathing. Also, working on strengthening the core through core engaging postures and movements. Each Stone Wave Yoga Instructor will have a different approach to our Yoga Sculpt classes, so we encourage you to take class with us all! All levels are welcome, but a regular yoga practice and understanding of the asanas is recommended.

We will explore postures that strengthen the abdominals, posterior chain, as well
as the shoulders. This type of work not only creates more core strength but also corrects structural issues
of the spinal area and improves overall posture. Variations will be offered for newer students.

Heal and restore with this slow paced practice. This class is a perfect compliment to an active, busy or fast paced life style giving you balance to heal and meditate the body and mind. Students can expect to hold seated or lying down postures for long periods of time while finding support with props.
