Ready for Recess?

Although each teacher at Recess puts their own spin on their vinyasa flow class, you can count on some breath work, a challenging physical practice, a meet-you-where-you-are approach, and of course a well deserved final relaxation. This class is a little spicy and great if you have some experience with yoga poses. 

 A deeply restorative practice designed to invite stillness, release, and renewal. Through long-held, supported postures, you'll gently nourish the body's connective tissues while calming the nervous system and quieting the mind. Expect a slow, soothing experience that encourages deep relaxation, increased mobility, and mindful presence. Suitable for all levels, Yin offers an opportunity to slow down, connect to your breath, release tension, and restore balance.  

Using the breath, we create an even, steady, mild pace through which we flow a creative sequence of poses. We breathe together and move together, getting stronger and more flexible while we develop an increased capacity for stillness within.

Our 60-minute Mat Pilates class begins with breathwork and gentle stretching to help you drop in and activate your mind-body connection. We’ll then transition into the workout, moving through exercises like The Hundred, Roll-Ups, Single-Leg Circles, Planks, and Bridges. Each exercise targets your body’s powerhouse—the core, lower back, hips, glutes, and pelvic floor—to build strength, enhance mobility, and improve posture. 

Power Pilates is a 45-minute, high-energy mat class that blends Pilates principles with strength and sculpt training. Using light weights and other props, you’ll move through controlled, intentional exercises designed to strengthen and tone the entire body while keeping a strong focus on the core. Expect a mix of traditional mat Pilates, weighted sculpt work, and Pilates-inspired standing exercises. This class is low-impact but challenging, with options to modify or level up throughout. 

Core Barre is a 45-minute, low-impact class blending mat Pilates, strength training, and barre work. Designed to challenge the full body while keeping the core engaged from start to finish, class begins with mat-based Pilates and strength work before moving to the studio walls for barre-inspired sequences and finishing with standing exercises. Musicality is part of the practice, with some sequences moving to the beat to create rhythm and flow. No dance or barre experience is needed!

The word "hatha" comes from the Sanskrit words ha, meaning "sun", and tha, meaning "moon." These words symbolize the balance between opposing forces. You will cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner peace as you unite body, breath, and mind.

Each teacher brings their own style to this 45 minute class that combines meditation and movement. Depending on the teacher, you will either experience a guided or silent meditation followed by movement that will help you carry deep awareness of your deeper self into your daily life. Life gets a little crazy--this will help you stay grounded, strong, and flexible--one and off the mat.

In this dynamic 1-hour class, you’ll move through a combination of mat and standing exercises, with a focus on strengthening the core and toning the abdominal muscles, lower back, and pelvic floor. Props and weights will be used throughout to add challenge and intensity, helping you get the most out of each movement. The second half of the class focuses on deep restoration, easing into Yin-inspired stretches and restorative poses to release tension and enhance flexibility. 

A dynamic, breath-driven practice based on the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga. This intermediate-level class explores traditional sequencing with room for intelligent variations and deeper expressions of poses. Expect to build heat, strength, and focus through progressive vinyasa, standing balances, and seated postures, followed by cooling stretches and a grounding savasana. Some familiarity with yoga is recommended, but you don’t need a full Ashtanga background to join.

Start with an energizing, breath-driven vinyasa flow to build heat, strength, and presence—then transition into grounding yin postures designed to open the body deeply and quiet the mind. This class blends movement and stillness, effort and ease, making it ideal for anyone seeking balance between the active and the restorative. All levels welcome. 

This exploratory, heart centered practice supports us in attuning to the deeper, more subtle layers of the body. You’ll be guided through embodied movement, breath work (pranayama) and nervous system regulation to cultivate a deeper mind-body connection and to release deep seated tension. Somatic Flow is an expansive, grounding and deeply nourishing practice that is sure to transform your yoga practice! Perfect for anyone looking to unwind, restore inner harmony, and rediscover ease in movement.

Pure, intentional, restorative rest. This class is a fully supported restorative yoga class built around a few supported poses with longer holds, and gradual downregulating of the nervous system back to baseline. We use bolsters, blankets, and blocks to create shapes you can completely relax into so your body doesn’t have to work. This class is about softening in a world that constantly asks for more. 

In Align and Shine, we explore dynamic balance through alignment-based hatha and vinyasa yoga, while weaving in other aspects of yoga practice including meditation and breathwork.  Rooted in heart-centered themes and offered with a trauma-sensitive lens, this practice strengthens and fortifies us physically, mentally and spiritually, so that we can meet the moment with clarity, compassion, and commitment.
