What We Teach
Four styles, every body, every level. Find the practice that fits your life right now.
Vinyasa connects breath to movement in flowing sequences that build heat, strength, and concentration. Each class is different β teachers design creative sequences that lead you through a continuous, musical practice.
At Greenleaf, we offer Vinyasa at two intensities: our all-levels Morning Flow classes move at a grounded, accessible pace, while our Power Vinyasa sessions are built for students who want a more demanding physical practice.
If you've never done yoga before, we recommend starting with our Gentle Hatha classes before jumping into Vinyasa. But if you're curious and willing to go at your own pace, all-levels Vinyasa is designed to accommodate you.
Hatha yoga is the root of all modern yoga styles β a systematic exploration of postures (asana), breathing (pranayama), and awareness. Our Gentle Hatha classes move slowly, hold poses longer, and emphasize proper alignment over speed.
This is our most beginner-friendly offering. Instructors walk you through every pose with clear cues, offer modifications for every body type, and create a space where asking questions is genuinely welcomed.
Long-term practitioners often return to Hatha to deepen their foundations. Don't let the word "gentle" mislead you β a 75-minute Hatha class is a complete, meaningful practice.
Yin yoga targets the deep connective tissues of the body β the fascia, ligaments, and joints β through long-held, passive postures. Poses are typically held for 3β7 minutes, making this a deeply meditative, introspective practice.
Unlike active yoga styles, Yin asks you to release muscular effort and allow gravity to do the work. The physical benefits include increased joint mobility and circulation to areas that active practice doesn't reach. The mental benefits are just as significant: learning to be with discomfort, to breathe, and to let go.
Our Yin classes often include a short guided meditation or breath practice. Many students find it the most transformative class we offer.
Restorative yoga is less a workout and more a practice of deliberate, deep rest. Poses are fully supported with bolsters, blankets, blocks, and straps, and held for 5β15 minutes in complete stillness. Your only job is to breathe and soften.
The nervous system response to a well-taught Restorative class is profound. Students consistently describe leaving class feeling genuinely refreshed rather than depleted β the kind of restoration that sleep alone doesn't always provide.
Our Friday Restorative & Yoga Nidra class adds a 20-minute guided Nidra (yogic sleep) at the end. It has become one of our most beloved weekly offerings.
