Open Classes:
Heartwood offers yoga classes each week that can be attended by anyone interested, and these are appropriate for all levels. These classes are taught either in the Main Studio, the Lodge, or in the Yoga Pavilion depending on class size, weather and instructor's preference. We do have mats students can borrow, but it is advisable to bring your own mat.
Students can pay a drop-in rate of $20.00 per class or purchase a class pack for discounted rates.
Updated class schedules and listings of teachers or other activities can be accessed by downloading our free app "Heartwood Yoga Institute". You may use this to sign up in advance to guarantee a space or to get information.
Yoga Sessions:
We also offer class series in 5-week sessions for progressive learning. Students enroll in the entire 5 classes to participate and missed classes are forfieted. These classes are a bit longer than the drop in class (15 - 30 minutes) providing time to address a theme or subject matter that helps students learn yoga beyond just the asana class. Sessions are great for those who like to know what and who to expect in class with them from week to week (since the enrollment is consistent) an is great for those who want a little something more educationally than just the yoga mat experience.
