FREE TO BE FLOW

Fuel your inner fire in Free To Be's signature heated power vinyasa (flow) class. In this invigorating class you will experience some fun and creative variations to the traditional Baptiste Yoga methodology and sequencing. You can expect high energy, playfulness, and inspiration to get your body moving and clear your mind. Beginners, intermediate and advanced practitioners receive direction from the instructor to create poses that work for their individual level. This allows all practitioners to be challenged and find their own personal edge together in the same class. The room is heated between 90 and 95 degrees.

*This class will be taught without music unless "music" is stated in the class title on the schedule.

FREE TO BE BEATS FLOW 🎶

Free To Be's signature, heated flow, based on the methodology of Baptiste Yoga, set to great tunes. The playlists are designed to uplift and invigorate you, support your practice and generate a whole lot of positive vibes. Class playlists range from Hip Hop to Indie, to Jazz or Pop. Warning: spontaneous singing - and dancing - may occur :) The room is heated between 90 and 95 degrees.

POWER FLOW

This is the classic Baptiste Yoga flow: dynamic, sweaty, and powerful. We link breath to movement through a precise sequence inspired by Baron Baptiste’s Journey Into Power, building heat, strength, flexibility, and body awareness from the inside out. Expect to move with intention, breathe deeply, and challenge yourself in ways that leave you feeling stronger, clearer, and more connected. This is your space to turn up the energy, get out of your head, and tap into your own power and freedom.

The room is heated to 90–95 degrees. Come ready to sweat.

DEEP FLOW

Well, let's just say...be ready for anything! You will tap into your deepest potential and push the limits of what is possible. This class may bring in some non traditional poses and sequencing to allow you to explore your practice in a new way. This is your opportunity to get into some postures more deeply where you’ll be encouraged to stay longer (which can be harder than it sounds!). Step into this practice for an intentional slowing down kind of experience. The room is heated between 90 and 95 degrees.

LEVEL UP POWER FLOW

Take your practice to the next level with this challenging class. You will explore inspirational variations of the poses and transitions which support in dialing up the intensity of the practice in the heated room. We recommend having at least 3 classes under your belt before coming to a Level Up class. The room is heated between 90 and 95 degrees.

GENTLE FLOW *BEGINNER FRIENDLY

Never done yoga before? Can’t touch your toes? Come to this class and we’ll help! Rooted in traditional vinyasa sequencing, this intuition-driven practice will support you in moving with more ease and fluidity. Give yourself permission in this class to be guided by your body’s natural movement and pacing. Each class will begin with a guided meditation and/or breathwork linked with gentle movement which will then be woven throughout the class. This class is appropriate for any level. The room is heated to approximately 90-95 degrees and will be taught with music.

YOD: HIIT + YOGA

This is a power yoga practice (all levels) combined with high intensity interval training (HIIT). You get the yoga vibes combined with a rigorous, fast-paced workout. YOD is designed to hit every aspect of your physical fitness, while creating mindfulness, and awareness of your body. It incorporates strength, flexibility, balance, power, endurance, agility and coordination. The room is heated between 85 and 90 degrees. 

  - 5-10 minute introduction to YOD and movements for the practice
  - 25-minute Free To Be All Levels Flow warm-up
  - 15-20-minute Strength and High Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) with music
  - 15-minute cool down with deep stretches and savasana

* Outlined times will be adjusted based on 60 and 75 minute classes

RESTORATIVE

This class is designed for all levels of practitioner, and is a gentle, non-heated, and slow paced practice. Most poses are down on the ground and are held for an extended period of time (5-8 minutes each). Each pose is created with the support of props including straps, pillows, blankets and blocks to give your body access to full relaxation. Come to relax and restore. Props are provided and the room is not heated.

*This class will be taught with music.

COMMUNITY FLOW

The community style classes are taught in the same way with the same intensity. The difference is that it is open to the community at a lower price point to make yoga accessible to more people! :) Class drop-ins are on a sliding scale starting at $10. The room is heated between 90 and 95 degrees.
