Yoga and Movement Practices

This two-part introductory series is designed for those who are new to yoga or would like to revisit the essentials. Across two 45-minute sessions, we’ll explore basic postures, approachable alignment principles, breathing, and simple transitions in a supportive, unhurried setting. You’ll learn how to adapt the practice for your body, use common yoga props, and move with greater awareness and confidence. These sessions will give you a comfortable foundation for beginning, or renewing, your yoga journey and joining other classes at Be Well.

Foundations Flow is designed for students who are newer to yoga, returning to practice, or looking for a slower, more supported class. This practice focuses on clear instruction, steady pacing, breath awareness, alignment, balance, mobility, and confidence in foundational yoga poses. Students will have time to learn how poses feel in their own bodies, explore helpful modifications, and build strength and steadiness with care.

Steady Flow offers a thoughtful progression for yogis ready to build strength, deepen confidence, and continue growing their practice. This class is designed for students with some yoga experience who are comfortable with foundational poses and basic transitions and are ready for a more active, flowing practice. Students should be able to follow familiar sequences with general class instruction while continuing to refine alignment, transitions, strength, and confidence. This practice focuses on breath-led movement, strength, balance, mobility, alignment, and steadiness. We’ll explore a thoughtful pace that supports both challenge and care. This class includes Sun Salutations, standing flows, balance work, core integration, longer holds, floor stretches, breath practices, and opportunities to move with more awareness and ease.

For yogis with an ongoing yoga practice who feel ready for stronger sequencing, longer holds, deeper refinement, and a more self-guided relationship with their practice. This class may include stronger sequencing, longer holds, balance work, core integration, deeper alignment study, breath practices, inversions, back bends, and thoughtful transitions. Students are encouraged to practice with awareness, steadiness, and personal responsibility. This practice will include mudras, bandhas, pranayama practices, and meditation as supportive tools for focus, breath awareness, and a deeper connection to practice.

Soft Flow is a soothing, slow-flow practice that links breath with mindful movement, offering all the benefits of traditional vinyasa without the intensity. The practice is designed for those who prefer to avoid kneeling, with no poses on the knees included.

Chair yoga is a gentle, accessible form of yoga practiced while seated or using a chair for support, making it ideal for those who prefer a more supported practice. It helps improve strength, flexibility, posture, and joint mobility while reducing tension and stress. 

Bring power and grace to your yoga practice. Core Strength Vinyasa offers a yoga-based workout that not only strengthens and tones the core muscles but also promotes overall physical and mental health. You will leave feeling energized, centered, and empowered. 

Designed for older adults who benefit from a gentler pace and additional support, this class uses light weights, bodyweight exercises, and balance work to help maintain strength, mobility, coordination, and confidence in everyday movement. Exercises can be adapted to individual needs and abilities, with an emphasis on safe, practical movement, confidence, and staying active.

Settle into a slow, grounding Yin practice designed to gently open the body and quiet the mind. Postures are held for several minutes to release tension in the deeper layers of the hips, spine, and shoulders, encouraging ease and stillness. Perfect for anyone seeking calm, softness, and spaciousness at the end of the day.
