Yoga Class Descriptions

Dhanwantari is a small, intimate studio. You will experience smaller class sizes and more personal instruction. Each instructor tailors the class to suit the needs of their students. Most of our classes are drop in. We suggest that you make a reservation to secure your space in class.  View our Class schedule and click "Reserve Your Space!".   

The majority of our classes are in the style of Vinyasa (flowing in a sequence of postures with the breath) except for Gentle & Yin.  In these classes, you will experience breath awareness practices, flowing sequences of postures and a long final period of relaxation.  See all our descriptions below for more details.

Basics

This class is designed for the true beginner or for those who want to refine their practice. This slow, gentle paced Vinyasa (flowing with breath) class is perfect for those new to the yoga practice.  Explore simple postures with more detailed instruction to allow greater focus on safety and alignment.

Beyond Basics

Ready to go deeper?  This class is perfect for those looking for the next step or just a little bit more.  This moderately paced class will build upon the foundations of our ‘Basics’ Class and ‘Yoga 101’course. Discover how ‘not scary’ the more challenging postures can be through creative sequences and inspiring instruction.

Gentle 

Focuses on quiet and stillness, strength and flexibility, alignment and balance.  Each class will gently lead you through a harmonizing practice that restores and soothes. Perfect for those new to yoga. 

Rockin' Flow

Our 'Beyond Basics' class set to a soundtrack of rock tunes. An uplifiting and fun favorite!

TGIF

Our 'Unwind' class infused with healing sounds (including didgeridoo), and deep breathing.

Unwind

Release tension and discover true relaxation.  This is our gentle to moderately paced Vinyasa (flowing with the breath) yoga class. Explore harmonizing postures within a perfectly designed sequence for stress relief. Emphasis on breath will help calm and soothe the ever-racing mind. Teachers may also offer a gentle head and neck massage easing you into savasana (final relaxation).

Yin 

Opposed to the "yang" practice which focuses on muscle energy and generating heat, "yin" classes work more passively, using breath and prop-supported postures to open up the joints, fascia, and connective tissue, re sculpting the inner web of our body-minds. Poses are held 3-6 minutes.
