  • Experience the profound practice of Yoga Nidra, also known as "yogic sleep" or "sleep with awareness," at Greener Postures Yoga. In this guided class, students rest in a restorative, supported posture to achieve full-body relaxation and enter a deep meditative state of consciousness. Yoga Nidra helps eliminate unconscious obstructions and energetic blocks, fostering self-healing, relaxation, and resiliency. Regular practice supports a deeper connection to your intentions and a more integrated state of being. Props are provided to ensure comfort and support throughout the practice.

  • Restorative Yoga at Greener Postures Yoga is a deeply relaxing practice designed to open the body passively and release tension. Using props like bolsters, blocks, blankets, and straps, poses are held for extended periods, allowing the force of gravity to gently ease the muscles and support the release of daily stress. Offered in a warm, quiet room, this class focuses on breath and relaxation, creating space for physical and mental restoration. Ideal for all levels, Restorative Yoga is especially beneficial for those new to yoga or seeking a slower, meditative practice.

  • Experience the transformative power of Yin Yoga, a practice that blends science and spirit through stillness and passive long holds in floor poses. Yin strengthens, lengthens, and hydrates the connective tissues, including the bones, fascia, and joints—areas critical for maintaining mobility and flexibility as we age. These classes often include meditation, enhancing brain and immune health, reducing blood pressure, and fostering greater awareness and energy. As a perfect complement to dynamic flow classes, Yin Yoga works your body's "other half," offering balance and restoration. No experience is necessary, and props are provided to support your practice. Add Yin Yoga to your weekly routine to nurture your body, mind, and spirit.

  • Discover the benefits of Deep Stretch, a class specifically designed to enhance mobility, improve posture, and promote relaxation. This gentle yet effective practice includes longer holds in various postures, supported by props like blocks, straps, and bolsters. Massage balls are often incorporated for myofascial release, helping to alleviate tension and increase range of motion. Whether you're an athlete balancing intense workouts, someone with an aging body looking to maintain flexibility, or a beginner exploring deeper stretches and alignment, this class offers a supportive environment to unwind and rejuvenate. Props are provided—just bring your mat and an open mind to feel refreshed and ready for whatever comes next.

  • Fundamentals Flow is a Vinyasa class taught at a slower pace, focusing on the basics of alignment, form, and sequencing. This unheated class is ideal for beginners or anyone looking to refine and strengthen their foundational Vinyasa movements. Designed to build confidence and develop strength, Fundamentals Flow provides the building blocks for a sustainable, long-term yoga practice. Suitable for all levels, this class offers a supportive environment to explore the physical style of yoga and deepen your understanding of movement and breath connection.

  • The Community Class is a heated Vinyasa flow designed for all levels and is often led by newer teachers. This accessible and welcoming class provides an opportunity to experience the benefits of a dynamic Vinyasa practice in a warm studio environment. Wear comfortable clothes, bring a water bottle, and bring your mat—or rent one at the studio.

The flow includes sun salutations, balancing postures, twists, backbends, abdominal exercises, and hip openers, all guided by your breath for a meditative and energizing experience.

  • Barre-Style Mat Conditioning is a dynamic 45-minute class designed to challenge and condition your muscles. This class blends familiar strength-bearing shapes from postural yoga with smaller, localized movements inspired by barre. Using props like blocks, therabands, and blankets, along with a mix of movement and static holds, you’ll build strength, endurance, and flexibility. Wear comfortable clothes you can move in, bring a yoga mat or rent one at the studio, and feel free to bring a water bottle. This engaging class is perfect for those seeking a focused, full-body workout that strengthens and tones while maintaining mindfulness and alignment.

This class is perfect for those familiar with sun salutations and flow yoga, offering the flexibility to move at your own pace, modify as needed, and rest when required.
