Strengthen, stabilize, increase stamina and restore the body for the best hiking season yet. Hiking season is just around the corner and it is the perfect time to get back in the groove. Check in with your knees and ankles as we strengthen their ability to adjust, stabilize, and flex on the uneven ground. Increase your stamina for the tougher steeper hikes and finish out the series with a restorative class that teaches you skills to beat the stiffness that inevitably comes after the hard hike and commute home.
Prepare your body for the best season yet. This series is also great for trail runners, walkers, street runners, and backpackers.

In an ideal world, every yoga class would provide one-on-one guidance to help you unlock the potential of each technique. Unfortunately, that's just not possible. Private instruction can help you get more out of your yoga practice and make group classes more enjoyable.
*An assessment is required if this is your first time working together. This appointment creates an opportunity for the instructor to get to know your personal goals and to see if it is a good fit to work together.
