Class Descriptions

 At All Yoga we offer the Original Hot Yoga, 26 + 2 beginner series. 26+2 is a set sequenced practice consisting of 26 specific postures and 2 breathing exercises performed in a heated room. The consistent sequence is designed to systematically strengthen the body, improve flexibility, and support circulation, balance, and mental focus. Each class follows the same order, allowing students to track progress and deepen their practice over time. 

The 26+2 sequence brought to the US from Bikram Choudhury, is derived from the larger and more advanced 84 Asana Series, rooted in the Bishnu Ghosh lineage of Calcutta, India. The 84 Asana Series is a traditional, advanced practice that we offer twice per week for students seeking a deeper exploration of the full system. For those ready to progress gradually, we also offer an Intermediate class designed to bridge the 26+2 and the 84, providing thoughtful modifications and guided pathways into more advanced postures. We also offer other traditional lineages of Hatha Yoga as well besides the Bishnu Gosh Lineage. 

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional, lineage-based practice that originated in Mysore, India, and was brought to the West through the teachings of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois. The practice follows a set, sequential series of postures linked by breath (vinyasa), beginning with the Primary Series, which focuses on building strength, flexibility, stamina, and proper alignment. As students develop consistency and stability, the practice progressively advances to more challenging series.

Ashtanga is a physically and mentally demanding discipline that cultivates focus, resilience, and self-awareness. The structured nature of the practice offers students a clear framework for growth, making it ideal for those seeking depth, dedication, and a committed path within their yoga journey.

 Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic style of yoga that evolved from the traditional Ashtanga system, linking breath with continuous, fluid movement. Here at All Yoga, we offer Vinyasa classes that range from slow, mindful flows to more upbeat, music-driven practices, allowing students to explore strength, mobility, and creativity. With an emphasis on freedom and rhythm, Vinyasa invites students to move intuitively and discover fluid, expressive movement within their bodies with or without the assistance of yoga props.. 

 Power Yoga or also known as Baptiste Yoga is a dynamic, fitness-focused practice that evolved from traditional Ashtanga Yoga. While it maintains the challenging structure and discipline of Ashtanga, Power Yoga introduces more freedom and variation in sequencing, allowing for creative, flowing transitions between postures. Classes move at a faster pace, emphasizing strength, endurance, and core stability, making it both physically demanding and invigorating. This style blends the rigor of a structured practice with the energy of playful, expressive movement, offering students a transformative experience that develops both body and mind while supporting overall fitness and vitality.  

 At ALL YOGA we offer Rocket Yoga, the creative series derived from Ashtanga Vinyasa, known for its flexibility, strength-building, and playful, accessible approach that incorporates inversions, arm balances, and creative transitions, earning its name because it "gets you there faster". It offers three structured sequences (Rocket I, II, III) focusing on different body areas (legs, core/back, or a mix) but allows modifications, making it suitable for all levels. Rocket Yoga shines as a modern style uniquely crafted for the Western audience in the vibrant tapestry of yoga styles that have emerged over centuries. Its birth is attributed to the late Larry Schultz. A dedicated student of K. Pattabhi Jois, the founder of Ashtanga Yoga, and spent several years in Mysore, India, immersing himself in the traditional Ashtanga series. However, upon his return to the West, particularly in San Francisco, he noticed a distinctive need. Western practitioners, while enthusiastic, often found the traditional Ashtanga series rigid and hard to adapt, especially given the differences in lifestyle, body structure, and daily challenges. Recognizing these limitations of classical Ashtanga Yoga, Schultz created the sequences now called rocket yoga. 

 Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion, love, and heart-centered connection. Rooted in ancient yogic traditions, this practice emphasizes cultivating gratitude, compassion, and surrender through practices such as chanting, mantra, prayer, and mindful rituals. Bhakti Yoga nurtures emotional balance and spiritual growth, allowing students to connect deeply with themselves and the world around them while fostering a sense of joy, presence, and inner harmony. 

In BikYasa Yoga Class we bridge the boundaries between two different yoga lineages and embrace the rich mosaic of practices. The Fusion of Astanga(Vinyasa) and 26+2, this hot yoga class is a posture realignment system that connects mental and physical spatial awareness to result in optimization of any movement or posture - yoga, athletics, and especially moving around in day to day life. This series is great for both Hatha and Vinyasa practitioners or anyone looking to explore a Fusion hot yoga class.

At All Yoga you can take your Bikyasa practice to the next level with Advanced Bikyasa Yoga. Explore Arm balancing, handstand, scorpion all woven into a sequence that builds on the principles of BikYasa. Inspired by the 84 asana practice, and third series Ashtanga practice, this class will challenge and transform your heart.

  At All Yoga, we offer Yoga Drill classes. These classes are specifically focused, skill-based classes designed to help students build strength, flexibility, and mobility while refining their physical yoga practice. These sessions break down postures into targeted exercises and drills, providing students with the tools and techniques needed to safely explore inversions, arm balances, and more advanced asanas. By isolating key movements and strengthening specific muscle groups, Yoga Drills accelerate progress, improve alignment, and deepen body awareness. This practice is ideal for students looking to advance their physical practice, gain confidence in challenging poses, and cultivate the strength and precision necessary to take their asanas to the next level. 

 Restorative Yoga is a gentle, nurturing practice designed to promote deep relaxation, release tension, and restore balance to the body and mind. Using props such as bolsters, blankets, and blocks, postures are supported and held for longer periods, allowing muscles to fully relax and the nervous system to reset. This practice encourages mindfulness, stress relief, and emotional calm, making it ideal for students seeking recovery, rejuvenation, and a quiet, restorative experience. 

 Yin Yoga is a slow, meditative practice that targets the deep connective tissues of the body, including ligaments, joints, and fascia. Using props such as bolsters, blocks, and blankets, postures are supported and held for several minutes, allowing a deep release of tension and access to the myofascial layer for profound fascial release. This practice cultivates stillness, mindfulness, and introspection, promoting flexibility, joint health, and inner calm while complementing more active styles of yoga. 

 Yoga Nidra & Meditation offers a guided journey into deep relaxation and conscious awareness. Yoga Nidra, or “yogic sleep,” allows the body to enter a state of profound rest while the mind remains alert, reducing stress, releasing tension, and supporting emotional balance. Paired with meditation, these practices cultivate mindfulness, focus, and inner calm, helping students develop clarity, presence, and a deeper connection to themselves. Together, they provide a restorative, transformative experience for body, mind, and spirit. At All Yoga we offer Yoga Nidra, Meditation and Breathwork Classes. 

 At ALL YOGA we offer Iyengar classes. Iyengar Yoga is a precise and alignment-focused style of yoga that emphasizes stability, mindful awareness, and correct anatomical positioning in each posture. The practice is known for its use of props such as blocks, straps, bolsters, chairs, and walls, wall ropes, etc.  making yoga accessible, safe, and therapeutic for practitioners of all ages and abilities. Developed by B. K. S. Iyengar, this method evolved from his lifelong study of yoga and the healing of his own physical challenges. Iyengar Yoga is practiced with longer pose holds and detailed instruction, cultivating strength, flexibility, and deep body intelligence. Widely respected for its therapeutic benefits, it views yoga as both a disciplined physical practice and a pathway to balance, clarity, and overall well-being.
