We recognize evolvewell as a studio open to the various lineages of yoga, drawing from various traditions to embody the true essence of yoga or "union" through the union of diverse teaching styles and teachers. However, all yoga taught at evolve well will be heart-oriented, spiritually inspiring, yet grounded in a deep knowledge of optimal body alignment in the poses. Instructors encourage students to listen to the messages of their body, respect its wisdom and limitations, and to progress at their own pace.
Yoga systematically stretches and strengthens muscles throughout the body, increases circulation to internal organs and glands, quiets the nervous system, and improves concentration. A total system of self-care, yoga can bring vitality, health, deep relaxation, and peace of mind.
We offer yoga classes for everyone from moms-to-be, children,
teenagers, families to seniors. Please see complete class
descriptions under Class Descriptions.
These classes are an exciting and invigorating adventure
into your body and create a special time to bond between
you and your child. Each class journey is a unique opportunity
to communicate with your child in a different manner and
build their self-confidence and stretch your body as well.
Everyone gets some physical activity, techniques to manage their emotions and improved body awareness and coordination.
Families that yoga together, smile more
The majority of classes are taught at an open level, unless otherwise specified. As we evolve, class levels will be catered to meet the needs of
the evolvewell community. Within the intimacy of our space, every student will be offered modifications appropriate for their level of practice.
Deep relaxation is included in each class at the completion of the posture sequences.
Start where you are! Basic level classes help you understand the fundamentals of building postures from the ground up! This class will help you
open up areas of tightness such as hips and shoulders and get you moving with basic Sun Salutations sequences - safely. You'll be introduced to
connecting breath with movement and the basic alignment in standing poses.
This level is perfect for beginners, those recovering from
an injury, new moms or for a change of pace.
Level I
Intended for new students or those seeking a refresher.
This class introduces basic asana, breath work and Sun Salutations.
Level I sets a safe foundation upon which to grow a yoga
practice.
Level I/II
Intended for students who have had a basic foundation of
alignment-based asana experience for at least 6 months.
Focus is on creating greater confidence in the practice
while strengthening the body with standing poses, gentle
backbends, twists, forward bends and foundations of inversions
are also practiced.
Level II
Intended for students who have practiced alignment-based
yoga for at least six months. Postures are refined and held
longer, deeper backbends, revolved standing poses and continuing
level inversions are practiced regularly.
Gentle Yogic Stretching and Strengthening
This class draws upon a variety of body-mind techniques
including Somatic Yoga, Feldenkrais, Ahimsa Yoga and Phoenix
Rising Yoga Therapy. For the release of stress and tension
held in the body, enhanced body-mind awareness, and a more
balanced and integrated state of well being. This class
is designed to accommodate all levels.
Flow
Links the yoga postures into a flowing sequence which integrates
the breath and movement to promote heat, flexibility, and
stability. Emphasis is placed on the usage of breath to
support and posture flow.
Restorative
Restorative yoga poses are extremely effective in producing
the "relaxation response" and in counteracting
the negative effects of the "stress response"
on the immune system. These postures are particularly effective
during times of stress, fatigue, or low energy. The restorative
asanas are supported and maintained by the use of props.
Fun! Fit Creative! Yoga classes can benefit your child in
a number of ways by: developing strong and flexible bodies
with an emphasis on balance and coordination; increasing
their mental concentration, focus, and attention; and to
build self-esteem and confidence.
A delightful, and nurturing yoga class. Continue bonding
with your child while you begin moving back into your body
in a supportive, holistic parenting community. Get to know
your baby better and enjoy the community of other new parents.
For moms of all levels. Please bring a blankie.
Itsy Bitsy YogaŽ introduces your baby to the many benefits
of yoga in the first years of life. Helen Garabedian, an
Infant Developmental Movement Educator and Registered Yoga
Teacher, created this program which includes more than 125
yoga poses and techniques for babies from birth to 4 years
old (please note - this class is for infants 6 weeks to
9 months) that are developmentally appropriate and deepen
the parent/child bond. A calming and nurturing yoga class
where parents learn to help babies unfold their motor skills,
sleep better, feel happier, and digest with ease.
For moms of all levels. Please bring a blankie.
During puberty and teen years, immense changes
are taking place in the body's chemistry and physiology.
This class creates a special place for teens to develop
comfort with their bodies, better understand the physical
and emotional shifts common at this age, and have a space
to relax from increasing academic and social pressures that
they may be experiencing.

In meditation, we are continuously discovering who and
what we are. This weekly gathering is an opportunity to
learn more about meditation and to connect with other people
that would like to become more mindful in their lives. Through
careful and sustained observation, we experience for ourselves
the ever-changing flow of the mind/body process. This awareness
leads us to accept more fully the pleasure and pain, fear
and joy, sadness and happiness that life inevitably brings.
As our internal awareness deepens, we develop greater equanimity
and peace in the face of change, and wisdom and compassion
increasingly become the guiding principles of our lives.
Each class will include a brief introduction to meditation
with instructions. The actual meditation will begin at 7:15pm.
The opportunity to make up missed classes is a courtesy extended by evolvewell.
Missed classes can be made up during the current session. For children's classes,
