Not all yoga is the same—and neither are you.

Our studio is founded on Ayurvedic principles, which teach that different bodies, days, seasons, and stages of life call for different practices. That’s why our studio offers a well-rounded blend of practices, from dynamic yoga flows to slower, steadier practices. Each class is designed to meet you where you are. Our incredible team of knowledgable and experienced Teachers challenge you to grow, support you along the way, and guide you along the yogic path toward greater presence, balance, and ultimately, Samadhi—the final limb and goal of the Rāja Yoga path.

Step onto the mat and into yourself—your practice awaits.

Classes are warm (75-80° F)

power

power yoga

ALL LEVELS

Power is a dynamic, full-body practice designed to build strength, mobility, and energy through intelligent, ever-changing movement. Rather than slowing down to stretch, this class uses active, breath-led flow to create heat, enhance concentration, increase blood flow, and improve strength and mobility from the inside out.

Through varied sequences and intentional transitions, we move the body in all planes of motion—strengthening muscles, hydrating the fascia, and improving joint health while keeping the brain engaged. Because the sequence changes from class to class, we continue building new neural pathways, supporting long-term growth, adaptability, and injury prevention.

This practice isn’t about achieving perfect shapes or extreme flexibility. It’s about creating openness—physically and energetically—so prana can flow more freely through the body. Expect to sweat, focus, and feel strong, awake, and clear. Come ready to move with intention and leave feeling energized in both body and mind.

Typically offered:

Mondays 6 AM – 6:45 AM

rocket yoga

ashtanga-inspired vinyasa

ALL LEVELS

Rocket Yoga is rooted in the practice of Ashtanga Vinyasa and is considered to be the original power yoga. There are three main sequences in the system and they all focus on building strength and mobility in the body, while also cultivating concentration and mental focus in the mind so that the student can enter states of spiritual awareness faster—that’s why Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead named it the Rocket. It’s called the Rocket because “it gets you there faster!”

The practices intertwine foundational asanas with arm balancing and fun transitions, creating a beautiful balance of traditional Ashtanga with the dynamic benefits and fun vibe of Power yoga. One of the key concepts of Rocket is repetition and only when you keep repeating, you can do anything (even hard things)! 

This class is for anybody who likes to bend the rules a bit, be challenged without so much rigidity, enhance mobility, and connect deeper to themselves.  Come see how Rocket can get you there faster!

This style of yoga was developed by the late Larry Schultz, a former Ashtanga student of Pattabhi Jois and the Grateful Dead’s private yoga teacher.  Larry’s vision was to make Ashtanga yoga more accessible to the western practitioner.

yogastha sadhana

ashtanga-inspired vinyasa

ALL LEVELS | GREAT BEGINNER CLASS!

Yogastha Sadhana is a vinyasa based class that targets a multi-limbed approach to the daily practice of yoga. This mindful practice begins by building pranayama (regulating the breath) as the foundation and warming the body in a set sequence of sun salutations and standing postures, before moving through a series of seated postures. Each class ends with a closing sequence including backbends and inversions before settling into seated contemplation and rest.

Rooted in the eight-limbed path (inspired by Ashtanga Yoga and Iyengar Yoga), Yogastha Sadhana classes emphasize alignment, breath awareness, and thoughtful transitions, cultivating strength, flexibility and balance.

Suitable for all levels, it offers a holistic approach to yoga—empowering the body, refining the breath, sharpening focus, and opening the mind to clarity and presence.

happy hour

workshoppy vinyasa practice

ALL LEVELS

Happy Hour at vyb is your Friday-night feel-good alternative to drinks! This longer, playful practice builds strength, mobility, and confidence in a supportive, workshop-style environment.  Some weeks you’ll flow through Power, Allie’s signature method, other weeks it’s Rocket Yoga. Either way, you’ll move, play, fall, laugh, and try again—celebrating the joy of movement and community. 

Some weeks you’ll flow through Power, Allie’s signature method—the practice that develops strength, mobility, and mental focus. This fast-paced, full-body flow hits all the essentials: balance, flexibility, core strength, arm balances, inversions, and tricky transitions. Other weeks it’s Rocket Yoga, fast-paced and inversion-heavy, emphasizing arm strength and daring you to explore upside-down possibilities. Both practices are challenging on both body and mind, but that’s exactly what helps cultivate the concentration needed for meditation.

By the end, you’ll leave energized, empowered, and ready to kick off your weekend—but feel free to linger after class to chat, and bring a bevvie or a snack to enjoy. We aren’t in a rush!

strength + skills

calisthenics strength + skill training workout

ALL LEVELS

Strength + Skills is a calisthenics-focused workout class designed to build functional strength, mobility, and body awareness for daily life and for the fun “party tricks” you see in yoga classes—like inversions, arm balances, backbends, and tricky transitions. All you need is your body! Sometimes we use resistance bands, yoga blocks, sliders, kettlebells, and the wall to support and challenge movement, and some classes include HIIT or circuit-style training formats. No matter the structure, expect a full-body workout emphasizing upper-body push and pull strength, core stability, and leg strength while improving balance, coordination, proprioception, and control.

Classes are welcoming and accessible for all levels, with options to regress or progress every exercise. Come curious and leave feeling strong, capable, and excited about what’s possible!

Calisthenics is one of the oldest strength training systems in history, practiced by ancient Greek warriors and Shaolin monks, and uses your own bodyweight to develop strength that is coordinated, resilient, and practical.

power + release

power yoga + yin yoga

ALL LEVELS | GREAT BEGINNER CLASS!

Power + Release blends the strength and heat of power yoga with deep stretching and recovery for a complete, science-informed practice. The first half of class is a dynamic, breath-driven flow designed to actively improve mobility by building heat, increasing circulation, and creating fascial glide through varied, intelligent movement.

This active approach prepares the body to stretch more effectively. As the body becomes warm and receptive, we transition into deeper holds, mobility work, and often self-myofascial release techniques to access the connective tissues more safely and efficiently. This combination supports joint health, improves range of motion, and helps release long-held tension—physically and energetically.

power + release is ideal for anyone who wants the best of both worlds: intelligent, empowering movement paired with deep, intentional release. You’ll leave feeling strong, open, and balanced—energized without feeling depleted, and supported in both strength and recovery.

Typically offered:

Wednesdays 4:45 PM – 5:45 PM

LSD: Long. Slow.
Deep. Stretch.

deep stretch + myofascial release

ALL LEVELS | GREAT BEGINNER CLASS!

LSD is a fascia-focused recovery and mobility class designed to release tension, improve range of motion, and support nervous system balance. This practice combines intelligent, dynamic warm-ups with slow, sustained stretches and self-myofascial release techniques using tools like tennis balls to gently access deeper layers of tissue, disperse adhesions, and restore healthy movement. This combo of active warm-up and targeted stretch and release is what gives the practice its uniquely therapeutic and HIGHly effective feel.

LSD is not passive yin yoga. Stretch durations are intentional and research-informed, emphasizing gentle to moderate sensation rather than discomfort or force. Sequencing follows the body’s fascial lines to support whole-body balance, integration, and full-body ease.

This practice is ideal for anyone seeking deep recovery, improved mobility, and a calmer nervous system — without forcing or pain. It is especially great for athletes, power yogis, and weightlifters.

prana / qi

Daoist Qigong + Nei Gong

ALL LEVELS

Prana—the vital life force you may know from yoga—is also called Qi (“chee”) in Chinese energy and healing practices. In this class, we explore this energy through Daoist Qigong and Nei Gong to awaken, circulate, and harmonize your internal life force.  When we harmonize this energy, we can access deeper layers of meditation.

We begin with standing and seated Qigong exercises, using gentle, intentional movements and breath to open the body’s energetic channels, release tension, and cultivate a sense of vitality. These practices help you feel the flow of Qi, calm the mind, and prepare the body for deeper internal work.

From this foundation, we move into Nei Gong, a seated practice that guides awareness inward. Here, the focus shifts to connecting deeply with your energy system, refining subtle body awareness, and aligning the mind and body. Through stillness, posture, and mindful attention, students learn to move energy internally, creating a profound meditative state and cultivating inner balance, clarity, and presence.

This class is for anyone interested in energy cultivation, self-healing, and deepening meditation. No prior experience is necessary—just curiosity, openness, and a willingness to slow down and explore the subtle dimensions of mind, body, and energy.

Tuesdays 7:15 AM – 8:15 AM

Over time, these practices help you reduce stress, calm a busy mind, and cultivate focus and inner steadiness.
