MOVEMENT CLASSES
YOGA
Open Studio promotes physical and mental wellness through the practice of yoga, an ancient yet accessible method of bringing calm and connection to our lives, promoting both physical and mental well-being. Open Studio offers a variety of yoga classes in an unconditionally supportive environment. While foundationally based in vinyasa flow, our instructors bring their own unique flair to classes, drawing from their trainings, vast and varied experience, and yogic distinctive philosophies. With each practice session find yourself in an ever-changing and evolving discovery. Open to challenge yourself; see into the self through Asana and Pranayama in order to actualize great potential. Room temperature determined by student body and outside climate.
Are you tired of practicing the same old set Yoga sequences elsewhere? Do you find yourself feeling sore after class rather than energized and strong? Try an Open Studio Yoga class and experience the difference for yourself. We cater to the individual, bringing personalized attention to each and every student.

Yoga is an effective, therapeutic way to follow precise universal and sound biomechanical principals of alignment. AYT, Assimilated Yoga Therapeutics, deepens awareness of the body’s connective – structural relationships to discover and deal with the pathways that lead to physical pain and discomfort. Relief from common injuries such as neck and shoulder pain, knee misalignment, sacral and lower back pain, tendonitis and much more. Find out how to begin the healing process and live without chronic pain and tension.
AYT combines the philosophies and principles of both Eastern and Western healing systems. The intricate mind / body system that includes the nervous system, immune system, emotional body, and pain modulation pathways is explored and dealt with in a logical, easy to understand way. AYT assists clients and students in understanding and accessing this system as a powerful vehicle to growth and healing. Encompassing the innovative and effective tools that yoga has to offer (including active, alignment-based, mindful asana practice, therapeutic Asana stretches, breathwork, meditation, and restorative postures), Assimilated Yoga Therapeutics helps us learn about, guide, and ultimately fine-tune the interplay between mind and body, addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and energetic manifestations of illness, imbalance, and disease.
Through the use of props, AYT delves into some of the body’s primary “holding areas” with compassion and playfulness. It accesses contracted or tight spaces in the body, promoting whole body wellness, and facilitating mental and emotional release.
