Beginner Classes

Interested in trying yoga or barre, or starting a fitness routine but not sure where to start? We’ve got you covered! While we don’t have dedicated weekly beginner classes, we’ve got some recommendations for what classes and instructors are a great place to start.

If you want to try yoga, we recommend starting with:

  • Stretch & Restore on Mondays and Wednesdays, 7:30-8:30 PM, at Green Street. This gentle and supported practice focuses on the physical body (stretching, strengthening, mobility), and relaxation - there is no sanskrit, breathwork, or meditation.

  • Lumos Flow with Josie (outdoors on Tuesdays at 6:00 PM during the outdoor season, at Green St. on Thursdays at 7:30 PM and on Mondays at 9:30 AM, at Parrish St. on Saturdays at 10:15 and 11:30 AM); Lumos Flow with Jule (on Thursday at 9:30 AM at Green and 5:45 PM at Parrish). While all of our instructors teach open-level classes, Josie and Jule particularly enjoy working with beginners and attendees of all ages.

  • Weekly Wind Down on Fridays with Sam L on Fridays at 4:30 PM at Parrish and at 6:00 PM at Green. This Friday evening class aims to create intentional time to slow down and rest at the end of the work week, through gentle stretches, mindful movement, and intentional breath.

  • Restore on Sundays with Leslee at 7:00 PM. Restorative yoga pairs slower movements with longer holds, using a series of props to help you move passively through seated and reclining postures.

 

If you want to try Barre, Pilates, or build a more active fitness routine, we recommend starting with:

  • Lunch at the Barre on Mondays and Wednesdays at 12:15 PM with Vanessa, Barre Express with Hillary on Monday evenings at 5:30 PM, Tuesdays at lunchtime at 12:15 PM, and Friday mornings at 7:00 AM. New to Barre? Hillary and Vanessa love working with beginners and providing lots of options throughout class for all levels!

  • Pilates Core Express on Tuesdays at 11:00 AM with Ella at Green, Mondays and Wednesdays at 9:45 AM with Chae at Parrish, and Fridays at 10:45 AM with Jule at Parrish.. Pilates is a great modality for any level of fitness experience - it focuses on building core strength and stability, learning proper alignment, and improving flexibility.

  • LIIT with RaGina on Tuesdays at 5:30 PM and Mondays at 7:00 AM, both at Green Street. LIIT is our branded version of a HIIT (high intensity interval training) workout. This workout is tough - but participants are always encouraged to go at their own pace, and RaGina’s background as a personal trainer means she is used to working with people of all fitness levels and experiences.
