Kripalu Yoga
Kripalu Yoga combines breathwork and mindful movement to awaken bodily energy while quieting mental chatter. This practice allows personalized exploration of postures within individual limits, using modifications to support all levels. Through conscious breathing and posture sequences, practitioners access deeper states of awareness and physical alignment.
Restorative Yoga
Restorative Yoga sessions use supported poses and breathing techniques to promote deep relaxation. This practice incorporates props to maintain comfortable positions while encouraging physical and emotional release. The class format blends Kripalu principles with restorative techniques to create space for mental clarity and bodily rejuvenation.
Deep Stretch
Deep Stretch classes focus on slow movement patterns to explore physical and emotional boundaries. Each session integrates breath awareness with extended pose holding to uncover habitual movement patterns. This practice facilitates transformative experiences through mindful exploration of bodily sensations and energetic shifts.
Meditation Sessions
Meditation sessions combine pranayama techniques with focused attention practices. These sessions train mental stability while cultivating inner peace through breath awareness. The practice prepares practitioners for deeper meditation states by regulating energy flow and quieting mental distractions.
Online Classes
Online classes provide live and recorded access to all yoga offerings through our digital platform. Practitioners can join real-time sessions or access 300+ recorded classes through our expanding library. This format maintains the sacred space principle while offering flexible scheduling options for global participants.

Alleycat Yoga has wonderful teachers capable of guiding beginners to advanced practitioners. The space is beautiful and Susan, the owner, is wonderful and an incredible teacher. I recommend her Kripalu Yoga Class at 9:15am on Tuesdays!

I have taken the Sunday morning community yoga class 3 times with Chelsea and love it! Chelsea is an incredible teacher and I always leave the class centered and energized. I am relatively new to yoga and am excited to continue in my pursuit toward a more mindful life experience. I plan to make Chelsea's Sunday morning class a part of my ongoing journey!
