Restorative Yoga: A Path to Deep Relaxation

Monday 6:30 PM

Restorative Yoga at Paloma Yoga is a calming, deeply nurturing practice that focuses on holding poses for extended periods. With the support of props like bolsters, blankets, and blocks, participants are encouraged to fully relax into each posture without strain. The goal? To achieve mental, physical, and emotional relaxation.

This class is ideal for those recovering from injury, experiencing stress, or simply looking for a way to unwind at the beginning of the week. The therapeutic benefits include better sleep, lower stress levels, and a deeper connection to your body’s natural rhythms.

Fernanda, an experienced instructor, will guide you through each pose, offering modifications and personalized support to ensure a safe and soothing experience.

Vinyasa Yoga: Flow with the Rhythm of Life

Tuesday & Thursday 10:00 AM
Wednesday 6:30 PM

Start your morning with the invigorating flow of Vinyasa Yoga, a practice that synchronizes breath with movement. Vinyasa is a dynamic style that takes you through a sequence of poses designed to wake up your entire body, targeting key muscle groups from head to toe.

Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned yogi, these classes—led by Fernanda on Tuesdays and Wednesdays and by Courtney on Thursdays—offer a creative approach to yoga. The practice focuses on enhancing your body’s internal vibrations, helping you tune into the rhythm of your own breath and movement. By targeting the hips, shoulders, and spine, Vinyasa Yoga promotes detoxification and supports your body in achieving flexibility and strength.

As the flow helps to cleanse and rejuvenate your body, you will leave the class feeling refreshed and ready to take on the rest of your day.

Yin Yoga: Slow Down and Turn Inward

Wednesday 10:00 AM

If you’re looking to slow down, Yin Yoga is the perfect practice for you. This style of yoga involves holding postures for longer periods—usually 3 to 5 minutes—to access the deeper connective tissues, like ligaments, bones, and joints. It’s a deeply introspective practice that encourages you to listen to your body and gently push beyond your comfort zone.

Yin Yoga is particularly beneficial for seniors, individuals recovering from injuries, or anyone looking for a more meditative approach to their practice. Fernanda’s class provides a safe space to explore the balance between effort and surrender, making it a powerful complement to more active forms of yoga.

Meditation: A Gift to the Community

Wednesday 11:15 AM – FREE

Our Karma Meditation class, guided by Mukti, is offered as a free community service to help everyone experience the profound benefits of meditation. Meditation is a key aspect of yoga, offering a space for mental stillness and spiritual connection.

Through consistent meditation practice, you can reduce stress, boost creativity, and deepen your connection to your inner self. Mukti’s guidance will lead you into a space of profound relaxation, promoting harmony between the mind, body, and spirit. This session serves as a reminder of the value of stillness in a world that is constantly on the move.

Whether you’re a first-time meditator or a seasoned practitioner, this class will provide the space and guidance needed to deepen your practice.

Ashtanga Yoga: A Structured Path to Strength

Friday 9:00 AM

Ashtanga Yoga is a structured, dynamic practice that follows a set sequence of postures linked by breath. The Primary Series, which forms the foundation of Ashtanga, is designed to build strength, flexibility, and stamina.

James leads this beginner-friendly introduction to Ashtanga, where you’ll start with a warm-up of sun salutations, followed by standing postures that focus on spinal twists and hamstring stretches. This class offers an energizing practice that not only strengthens your physical body but also serves as a form of moving meditation.

If you’re looking for a practice that will challenge your endurance while providing deep internal focus, this class is perfect for you.

Balance Yoga: Find Your Equilibrium

Saturday 9:00 AM

Balance Yoga, led by Fernanda, is a creative and intuitive practice that focuses on cultivating inner and outer balance. This class combines slow, intentional movements with more dynamic sequences to awaken the energy in your solar plexus, legs, and back.

Designed to improve strength, balance, and endurance, this class is perfect for anyone looking to find harmony between effort and relaxation. By the end of the session, you’ll leave feeling grounded, energized, and more in tune with your body’s natural rhythms.
