Class Descriptions
All classes are maintained at a moderate, yet warm temperature of 75-80 degrees, which we believe is the optimal temperature for a flow-based practice. In every class, regardless of style or level, you will be challenged intelligently and with proper guidance. You will never be forced to do what is impossible for you. We ask that you please honor your body in whatever class you choose.

How Often Should You Practice?
As often as you can! Every day of your life is worth being lived in a clear, joyful, and conscious way. At Sacred Space, we believe that when you devote a part of each day to yourself, not only do you personally reap the benefits, but so do your friends, co-workers, children, spouses, and anyone who comes into contact with you throughout your day. When we are stable, balanced, and stress-free, our lives flow more efficiently and we are better able to handle the changes and challenges that life tosses at us.
Unlike other exercise disciplines, such as running or weight-lifting, your body does not need a day of rest in between classes. In fact, the Surgeon General recommends 60 minutes of exercise every single day to maintain your health. If you want to IMPROVE your health, he recommends 90 minutes. Yoga is a thorough and well-balanced practice that offers both a cardiovascular workout and deep stretching, making it the perfect source of exercise.
We know that not everyone has the time or finances to make it to class every day. No worries-get to class as often as you can and soon you will discover that you want to make time and that in making this time, you will in fact gain time in your day.
The most important thing is to do what you can do and stay consistent!
Here are some guidelines of what you can expect from the frequency of your yoga practice:
1-2 classes weekly:
Reduced stress
