Let's Break It Down
Yoga is for everybody, and so are our classes! If you are an experienced yogi, you are welcome to expand your practice and get back to your foundation in an R1 class. If you are more new to yoga but want to try something new, please feel free to take our more advanced R3 class! Yoga is what YOU make it. Your practice can be adapted and we encourage you to mold it to your needs on each given day. Everything is simply a suggestion. Here at Runa Yoga, you will only find encouragement and invitations!
R1 Flow
A mindful paced class that emphasizes the true spirit of Vinyasa yoga. Classes focus on the union of breath to movement starting with a warm up and sun salutations followed by sequences designed to build greater strength, flexibility and body awareness. Honoring proper alignment and safety, Runa Flow 1 is a physically challenging class suitable for all levels, from beginner to seasoned practitioner.
R3 Flow
Classes are for those wanting to go deeper into alignment, philosophy and more advanced postures. Expect clear and direct instructions guiding you to a deeper level of poses and postures including arm balances, floating transitions and inversions. This class builds in a dynamic pace to offer a fluid and synchronized mind, body and breath experience.
R2 Flow
Classes are accessible and offer more challenging postures and variations based on the foundations of the Fundamental Flow and Runa Flow 1 classes. Teachers bring their own intelligent sequencing, offering the opportunity for a diverse vinyasa practice.

Runa Yin
Yin is a style of yoga where postures are held for longer periods of time thus targeting the connective tissue of the body. Physically, this allows us to affect change in the ligaments, tendons, and fascia (the connective tissue around and within the muscle). Most of the postures are done closer to the floor and target the hips and spine. Poses are held anywhere from 45 seconds to 5 minutes facilitating healing of the body and the mind.
Runa Restore
This therapeutic style of yoga is a practice of non-doing, and focuses on effortlessness and ease, using various props such as bolsters, blankets, blocks, and sandbags to safely support the body in restful postures. This process replenishes and nourishes the body, boosting it’s immune system, releasing tightness in muscles and joints, balancing the nervous system, reducing anxiety and mental stress and improving sleep.
Heated Yin
This class is much like Runa Yin, just slightly more heated. This helps us to affect change in the ligaments, tendons, and fascia (the connective tissue around and within the muscle). Most of the postures are done close to the floor and target the hips and spine. Poses are held anywhere from 45 seconds to 5 minutes facilitating healing of the body and the mind.
Runa Prenatal
Expecting mothers of any trimester and any level are encouraged to join us. This is a great way to strengthen the body and help provide union of the breath and mind. Empowering the expecting mother for delivery and beyond. Creating a supportive community of expecting mothers.
Yoga In The Yurt: Full Moon Flow
Full moons are used as a way to mark the passage of time. They are named after the seasons and events occurring in nature at the time of the full moon. These are useful times in our lives for rounding things out to full completion. In a sense, something comes to an end, ready for a brand-new phase to begin. We have created a vinyasa yoga flow around a full moon theme.
