the joy of learning new things is always greater than the fear. we’re with you every step of the way.
Regardless of where you are in your yoga journey, the idea of unlimited classes for 3 full weeks, is a no brainer. This way you get to try everything we have to offer that fits your schedule. Our Intro offer of 3 weeks for $45 covers all weekly classes for both aerial & mat yoga.
Beginner-Friendly Classes
For students new to a vinyasa or flow style of yoga, we recommend our Slow Flow classes. For beginners with an interest in classes that are more strech based, try Breathe. Stretch. Roll or Yin Stretch. Most of our classes are considered "All-Levels"; students of all abilities are welcomed and offered variations to build their practice no matter where they start.
change of perspective
Maybe you already have an existing yoga practice and are looking for a new studio to call home. For those looking for new experiences, we offer restorative, stretchy classes in addition to our Functional Flow, and Yoga w/ Weights all which will have you engaging your asanas in new ways. And if you want to turn your practice completely on its head (so to speak), you’ll want to check out our popular Aerial Yoga program!

alternative to vinyasa flow?
A functional movement-based yoga studio offers an alternative to vinyasa flow by prioritizing practical movement patterns and alignment that enhance daily functionality, rather than focusing on dynamic sequences and continuous flow. While vinyasa flow emphasizes cardiovascular fitness and fluid transitions between poses, functional yoga hones in on improving joint stability, muscle activation, and overall body efficiency. This approach can be particularly beneficial for those looking to address specific movement dysfunctions, prevent injuries, and build strength and flexibility that translates directly into everyday activities, providing a more tailored and injury-preventative practice compared to the often intense and fast-paced nature of vinyasa flow.
What is functional movement?
There are many different schools of yoga, each offering a different approach to the experience of yoga. Functional movement-based yoga emphasizes how movements and poses enhance overall functionality and efficiency in daily life. Our primary goal is to improve the body's natural movement patterns, build strength, flexibility, and balance in ways that support practical activities and prevent injury.
Do you offer heated yoga?
We are a strictly non-heated studio. With Bikram or Hot Yoga, the heat is believed to increase flexibility but can also lead people to push too far and get injuries. The heat isn’t the same as a muscule that is activated through movement. Many love heated yoga and it’s benefits, and Common Ground provides a community for those looking for a different approach.
options for yoga newbies?
Absolutely! Every teacher at Common Ground Yoga is able to provide a class that welcomes and enables all levels to grow their practice. You should feel supported in every class not only by the teachers, but the community of people at Common Ground help make this a special place to start or expand your personal yoga journey. We even offer a new student special to make it as easy as possible to get started.
