What to Bring

A YOGA MAT - Please bring your own personal yoga mat. We also sell a variety of quality yoga mats in our lobby.

WHAT TO WEAR - It is best to wear comfortable clothing that will not inhibit movement. Many people practice in shorts or breathable yoga pants, and a t-shirt or tank-top. We always practice yoga in our bare feet, so please leave your shoes in the lobby.

H20 & TOWEL - For vigorous classes, please bring water (we provide a reverse osmosis water dispenser in our lobby) and a personal towel.

Class Etiquette

Please turn off cell phones in the studio. Avoid wearing heavy perfume. Leave your shoes in the lobby. Clean borrowed mat after class. Place props neatly back. In the lobby, please be mindful of the volume of your voice when classes are in session. Thank you.

Class Descriptions

Choose from a wide variety of classes to match your intentions for practicing yoga. Beginners will be most comfortable in the ongoing Roots, Gentle Flow, and Serenity classes, and our 6 week Intro to Yoga Course, and 10 Week Building An Integrative Yoga Practice session.

Gentle: A gentle practice with emphasis on relaxation, appropriate for beginners and everyone.
Medium: A moderate practice for all levels of experience.
Spicy: A challenging practice with emphasis on strength and deeper flexibility for experienced students.

Serenity Yoga emphasizes slowing down the fast pace of life with gentle postures, relaxation exercises, and calming music designed to melt away stress and to center awareness. Students are invited to work with yoga and breath awareness more purely as a vehicle for deep relaxation.

In Restorative Yoga the body is supported in gentle yoga poses using bolsters and blankets and small adjustments are offered to enhance relaxation in the pose. This class offers a chance to unwind from our hectic day to day lives, release muscular tension and emotional stress, connect more deeply with our inner essence, and promote healing from within.

Roots explores the foundations of yoga practice and focuses in more detail on healthy alignment and body mechanics in postures. For beginners and beyond.

Flow emphasizes the practice of connecting breath and motion in a fluid style of movement. Flow-Waves classes include sequences from Kali Ray Tri-Yoga with a strong emphasis on wavelike spinal movement.

Shakti Flow (formerly called Power Yoga) is a challenging vinyasa-style class that emphasizes strength, endurance, and cleansing through a flow of postures connected on the breath to awaken vitality and inspiration. Held in a warm room. Experience with yoga is recommended.

6 Week Intro to Yoga Courses are ideal for beginners who wish to learn in a slower step-by-step manner, systematically building experience and knowledge each week. See course subtitle for emphasis of each course including: "Strength, Balance, and Flexibility" and "Stress Relief, Relaxation, and Meditation".

10 Week Session: Building An Integrative Yoga Practice introduces budding yoga students to Wild Lotus' integrative approach to yoga that connects body, soul, heart, voice, insight, mind, and spirit. You will learn fundamental yoga postures taught in a step by step manner and be introduced to other important practices including pranayama breathing, chanting, meditation, and more. The session will also create an opportunity for students to build greater self-awareness through the chakra system.

Prenatal Yoga combines Mamaste Yoga prenatal postures, breathing exercises, and meditation to prepare expecting mothers for childbirth and beyond. For women in their second and third trimesters of pregnancy.

Mommy and Baby Yoga is designed for new mothers and their infants (from newborn to sitting). The focus is on regaining strength and flexibility following childbirth and for parents to relax and connect with their baby and other new parents. Women should be cleared for exercise by their doctor.

Lotus Buds Kids Yoga is a fun class designed for children from K-4th grade. Kids learn to relax their bodies and their minds while being guided through yoga postures, breathing techniques, art, movement, storytelling, and play.

Sunday Morning Community Soul Time and Meditation is an occasional event that offers a relaxed space to savor spiritual practice and meditation. Each session a different topic/experience is explored followed by a period of quiet meditation. Subjects and practices include: philosophy, readings, chanting, stories, breathing, artwork, journaling, and more. All donations go to a rotating charity.

Private Sessions

Private Yoga Lessons emphasize hands-on assistance and guidance in a one-on-one yoga experience tailored to the student's needs and intentions. Recommended for those who wish to deepen their practice with the personal guidance of a teacher, for beginners who prefer working one-on-one to spark a yoga practice, and for people with special needs or physical conditions. Sessions can be booked for individuals, pairs, families, or groups.

The Sweetpeace Yoga And Wellness Special is a private session integrating meditation, yoga, and health coaching with Wild Lotus' in-house holistic health counselor and yoga teacher Farah Gokturk. The session is designed to cultivate breath awareness, enrich the senses, create connection to the body through asana, and explore a deep, intuitive understanding of nourishment through food and self-care. Please bring pen and paper.
