This Hot Yoga consists of a set series of 26 postures, repeated twice and held for a specified amount of time. Every class is the same, but your experience is always different. You’ll be amazed how incredible you’ll feel after only 1 class! How cool is that? We LOVE the absolute beginner.
Vinyasa Yoga is a dynamic, flowing form of yoga connecting the movement from one pose to the next with the breath. Practice to music and challenge your endurance, flexibility and strength. Great compliment to the Hot26 Series. Some yoga experience is helpful, but not necessary.
A dynamic, creative and meditative class combining elements from Vinyasa, Hot26 Series, Pilates and Pranayama (breathing exercises) along with weights. Cultivate inner peace, strength and harmony in body and mind as you stretch, strengthen and breathe to the sounds of music in the background. All levels welcome.
Hot Yinyasa is a balanced class igniting your yang energy and nurturing your yin energy. First half of class links movements together for a continuous flow (vinyasa). Second half of class is on the floor, as you settle into holding postures for 2-5 minutes, taking you deep into the connective tissue (yin). Come explore the boundaries of your physical body and build mental endurance.
Yogalates is a wonderful, empowering combination of Yoga, Pilates, Pranayama (breathing exercises), Mediation and Relaxation. Take your self-care practice to another level. Build core strength, tone muscles, gain stamina, flexibility and balance your mind. You’ll leave class feeling revitalized, refreshed, less stressed and ready for your day!
Yin is the "meditative” yoga; unique in that you relax into a pose, soften the muscle and release closer to the bone and joints. Postures are held for sustained periods of time, allowing muscles to relax and the deep connective tissue to be gently stretched. Gain more flexibility in the joints, calm and balance the mind and body. This practice of “quiet power” encourages you to explore energetic principals, cultivate compassion and refine awareness. Perfect for the beginner to advanced yogi.

Di Salvador, RYT has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and teaching for almost 10. Over time, she’s been drawn to the depth and nuance of Traditional Chinese Medicine. In 2022 she completed Level One Meridian Therapy intensive training (with Dr. Erin Rose Vaughan) including hands-on study in acupressure massage, cupping techniques, moxa, and gua sha. Di is especially drawn to this form of medicine because it honors the quiet power of steady practice, deep breathing, rest and the ability to let go. HYRB is lucky to have her share this at the Studio.
Jivamukti Yoga is a physical, ethical, and spiritual practice that combines a vigorous yoga style with five central tenets: Shastra (scripture), Bhakti (devotion), Ahimsa (nonviolence, non-harming), Nada (music), and Dhyana (meditation). We can change the circuitry of the brain to help us be more peaceful and compassionate, simply by directing our thoughts, movements, and imagination. This 90 minute workshop is a full practice with focus on fundamentals of engagement and inversions and including a Savasana massage. All levels welcome ~ Room will be hot
Isabella Arikian, RYT (Bella), has found that healing takes place on her yoga mat. During a difficult time in her life, Bikram yoga allowed her to form a strong connection to herself by cultivating both emotional and bodily awareness. Having practiced yoga for over 10 years and ready to expand her knowledge, Bella received her 300hr 26+2 teaching certification at Ivy Standard Yoga Institute in 2021. Her motivation is to share that there is comfort in stillness, medicine in movement, love hiding in broad daylight, and that the beginners’ mentality is everything. Bella is committed to helping her students continue their journey home, one asana at a time. HYRB is thrilled she’s here!
