LIVE CLASSES

Levels + Intensity

Beginners Welcome

This is a one-hour class suitable for students that are new to yoga. Explanation will be given on how to achieve each pose to the best of the student’s ability with an emphasis on proper alignment and breath.

Open Level

Open-level classes are suitable for all levels of practitioner, however we suggest that beginner students have some familiarity with the Sun Salutations (Surya Namaskara A + B).

Intermediate

Intermediate classes give students the opportunity to practice more challenging poses and further develop their strength and flexibility. While this class may seem difficult at first, we understand that the only way to grow is to try.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I sign up for classes?

Our schedule is available on our homepage, our Lighthouse Mobile App and the MindBody App.

All classes will be held on Zoom. You must sign up on MindBody 10 minutes before the scheduled start time for class to reserve your space. You will be emailed the Zoom link 5 minutes before the start of class to join. If you cannot attend live, you may rent the class on Lighthouse’s Vimeo On Demand page for $5 or purchase it for $10 (downloadable). If you cannot attend a class you pre-registered for, you can cancel your booking on MindBody.

 I’m interested in trying yoga, but I’m worried I’m not flexible enough. What classes would you recommend for beginners?

You do not need to be flexible to practice yoga. Don’t fall for the Instagram hype! (Don’t get us wrong— we have a blast sharing some of what we can do on Instagram, but the real work of yoga is done on the mat, not in front of a camera lens.) Yoga is a system of movement and mediation with many benefits. It may help you improve your flexibility over time— as well as your strength, your proprioception, your will-power, your patience, your sense of self, your compassion for others…the list goes on. Everybody is built differently and changes over time. Our teachers are trained to work with students across a broad spectrum of physiques and physical abilities— think of every cue during class as an invitation, not a command.

If you’re new to Lighthouse, you are welcome to check out any class, but we recommend starting with classes marked “Beginners Welcome” or “Open Level” JM Vinyasa classes unless you are already an experienced practitioner. You may notice that even in those classes, many of our students have advanced practices. Please know that this comes from years of work, and it should not dissuade or intimidate you from coming to class with us. We welcome every student that wants to learn and grow in their yoga practice with open arms, regardless of your current level or abilities. We believe the key to an enduring, healthful yoga practice is an open mind, heart, and willingness to try.

What do I wear to class?

We recommend comfortable, lightweight clothing, and fabrics that can handle some sweat. Many students prefer fitted clothing like leggings, bike shorts, and sports bra/tops because loose clothing can make some postures more challenging, so wear whatever you makes you comfortable.

How often should I practice?

As often as you want, but we recommend at least 3 times per week. Consider limiting physical practice to 6 times per week so that your body can rest. Meditation, however can be practiced daily, if possible.

If I have an injury, can I still practice?

Depends. If you choose to come to class with an injury, please let your teacher know as they can offer potential modifications to help relieve any strain or tension. Remember to take it easy and listen to your body! Yoga has been clinically shown to ease chronic pain, but acute injuries may just need some rest. In general, movement is vital to keeping the body healthy in the aftermath of an injury, but all healing also requires time and patience.

I have a question or comment. Who should I speak to?

If you have questions about your practice, please ask any of our teachers before or after you take class. If you have studio-related or account-related inquiries or questions, please contact us at hello@lighthouseyogaschool.com.

I need to suspend, change or cancel my membership. What do I do?

You can suspend, change, or cancel your membership by emailing hello@lighthouseyogaschool.com We require a minimum of 3 business days notice for any of the above requests.
