Our Class Modalities
We offer four different modalities, emphasizing the balance between physical and energetic movement.
Our classes are appropriate for all levels! We are a studio for beginners, long-time practitioners, and everyone in between. Our skilled teachers have extensive anatomy backgrounds and will adapt class and modify moves to work for you. All of our classes are available at our studio in Logan Square / Avondale.
