SYJ Open
Our signature flow class: This is a seriously fun vinyasa class with a healthy emphasis on alignment (it’s what we are known for). You can expect Sun Salutations (A & B), moving through a creative sequence of poses, hip openers, shoulder openers, thigh stretching, twists, back bends, and forward folds. This class will challenge you in many ways and you will cultivate a serious asana practice but you’ll also smile, sweat your bum off and leave feeling like a way better version of yourself. Breath awareness is emphasized.
Upon the discretion of the teacher we may up the ante and you’ll learn more advanced arm balances, back bends, and sometimes you’ll end up on your head or standing on your hands (against a wall always an option).
SYJ Hour
Same as SYJ Open, but we do it in one hour.
SYJ Foundations

We encourage you to get stronger and more flexible as well as learn to move through your life a little more peacefully and sweetly.
