Bluestem Hatha classes combine standing poses, balancing poses, floor work, and breath work to leave you feeling energized, open, and more alive. “Hatha yoga” is an umbrella term for all posture-based yoga but has come to mean a class with somewhat longer holds than a Vinyasa flow class and pauses between poses. The Saturday morning class is our gentlest Hatha offering.

Restorative yoga encourages relaxation and release as opposed to stretching or strengthening. Poses are low to the ground without stress on the joints and may be held (gently) for a few minutes. The Thursday morning class, taught by body worker Kerry Hagner, starts with gentle movement and embodiment practices. It includes self-massage with soft therapy balls to release restrictions and increase ease of movement. Leave feeling grounded and nourished!  All levels.

Begin your day with mindful movement, breath, and balance. A 60-minute practice suitable for all levels. Pre-registration required by 8 pm the night before. Please read the detailed class description visible on the booking widget on our book-a-class page.

Set your intention and prepare for the week ahead with this gentle class. Teachers may cue mindfulness and breathing practices, gentle stretching, gentle self-massage, and/or restorative poses.

Vinyasa classes are faster-paced than other Bluestem classes. The teacher cues sequences of poses, linking movement to breath, energizing and warming the body. You'll build stamina and strength and increase flexibility through a mix of standing and floor poses.
Variations for students of mixed levels, but some experience expected. The Sunday morning Vinyasa class is Bluestem’s most vigorous class. If you’re new to Vinyasa or prefer a somewhat slower pace, consider our Wednesday evening Vinyasa class or our weekly Hatha classes.

Yin yoga is a slower, more meditative style of yoga blending Eastern & Western wisdom. Yin seeks to enhance strength, mobility, and organ health by targeting the connective tissues such as fascia, ligaments, joints, and bones and the meridians of the body as defined by Traditional Chinese Medicine. Class will consist of long-held passive floor poses with props like blankets, bolsters, and blocks to support your practice. All levels.

This 45-minute class is designed to reduce stress and support self-esteem, focus, and balance—with laughs along the way! At Bluestem, we practice yoga for physical and mental well-being, not for “fitness” or to “sculpt and tone.” Our beautiful studio (no mirrors) is a quiet refuge from the noisy world; expect to feel calmer and more centered after your time here. All levels, no yoga experience expected. Email your interest to Sandy.

Great for beginners, but everyone welcome! Learn (or revisit) the foundational postures and practices of yoga. We’ll begin with breath and movement to find presence and body/breath awareness. Then we’ll practice several postures or movements at a slower pace with additional instruction. If you’re new to yoga, this class aims to build confidence and prepare you for other Bluestem classes. Both new and experienced yogis will benefit from a balanced class with a focus on healthy alignment, mobility, and strength. Plus, we’ll have FUN! All bodies welcome. Next series starts in early January!
