Class Descriptions

We offer the following classes at Tapas Yoga and Movement Studio.

Class Offerings



All yoga classes emphasize the importance of breath in the physical practice, as well as the importance of awareness. While students are encouraged to experiment with the limits of their practice, safety is also a top priority. Remember to respect your body in all your classes! Always feel welcome to inquire with your teachers about any questions that your practice may bring up. You may find that you have many questions, for yoga is a journey, not a destination!


You may also begin to notice that yoga practice encourages you to explore contradictions. Your teacher may ask you to maintain both strength and flexibility, for example, or groundedness and suspension, or awareness and relaxation. Yoga practice often asks that we learn to exist in a state of balanced opposition. This balance can assist you in your daily life, as you to discover how to temper anxiety with ease, rigidness with openness, looseness with solidity.

Hatha Yoga:
All Levels


A general yoga class open to students at all levels, where poses of varying levels of difficulty are introduced, along with modification and intensification tips allowing you to personalize your practice. This is the ideal class if you are new to yoga, or if you want to settle in to a regular practice. Each class features a few moments of initial breath setup, a series of yoga poses designed to improve balance, increase flexibility and build strength, and a final period of restful meditation.

Hatha Flow:
Beginners - Medium


Flow Yoga courses introduce both beginner and intermediate poses, which are linked together seamlessly through breath-based movement. Variations of sun salutations are often integral to this practice, which is ideal for those wishing to develop greater endurance and strength, as well as burn some additional calories.

Hatha Level Two:
Intermediate-Advanced


Hatha Level Two is ideal for those who have been practicing for awhile, or for anyone looking to kindle the fire within! This high-energy, fun class offers breath-based movement from pose to pose, and the opportunity to practice advanced and creative poses. Similar in style to Flow Yoga, but with an edge of laughter and adventure, it’s a perfect way to find yourself challenged, burn calories, increase endurance and build strength. And even better, you’ll still leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and invigorated.

Pilates:
All Levels


Our mat-based Pilates class is for anyone new to Pilates, or for regular practitioners. This class is designed to improve flexibility and strength by focusing on the body’s core muscles, which are found in the stomach, hips, bottom and back. Regular practice of Pilates helps prevent back pain and injury, tones the stomach muscles, and slims the waist.

Ballet Body:
All Levels


Ballet Body is a conditioning class designed to target the "problem areas" of the body; the thighs, core, and booty! We will trim and tone in this class that is practiced on the mat or "center floor". It is not a dance class, so there are no difficult steps or choreography to learn. Come and learn the moves that ballet dancers use to keep their bodies strong and supple. Over time you will notice a stronger core, long, lean muscle, improved balance and grace, and more!

Belly Dance for Health:
All Levels


We are bringing sexy back! This class is specifically suited for the female physique, no matter what your size! As Belly Dance has evolved, more and more women dance for health, positive self image, intimating the dynamics of one’s unique femininity and form, and most of all, for a fun workout. Incorporating both slow and quick moves, Belly Dance provides the means to increase flexibility and strength as well as to improve balance and comfort. This class includes a focusing warm-up; introduction to basic techniques; coordination of movements to belly dance music; and a Yoga-style cool down. No dance experience is required for this introductory class and it is open to women ages 16-99.
