We offer all levels of experience classes so be sure to read which instructor is the best for your health level. Once you have the teacher of your choice and experience level, please take a look at our Yoga Schedule for times and teacher availability.

Yoga Den's Class Types:

• Gentle - All skill levels and body types who would like to breathe, stretch, relax, and meditate.
• Level 1 - Good for beginners or students who want to brush up on the basics. Instruction in form and technique in postures, breath and meditation.
• Level 2 - Postures held longer, deeper, slower, in combination with a faster flow. You will sweat!
• Level 3 - Same as above, but more advanced postures. Appropriate for people who have practiced yoga regularly.
  

Class Level 1 & 2
Dennis classes are designed for all levels with the intention of keeping less experienced students safe and present. While directing more experienced students into different expressions of the same poses. Classes can be energetic but center around body awareness, emotional, sensitivity, and spiritual remembrance. ( Remember: each class is only as hard or as easy as you choose it to be.)
