HIGH INTENSITY CLASSES
prana beats (95 degrees)
Turn up the energy and move with the rhythm. Prana Beats is a music-driven hot vinyasa flow that invites you to move freely, explore fluid transitions, and let your breath and body lead the way. Expect creative sequencing, a strong sweat, and moments where the practice feels more like a moving meditation than a workout.
​
Designed for Levels 2–3, but curious beginners are always welcome — we’ll offer modifications so you can find your flow.
Did you know? Hot yoga is SUPER good for you. Let us count the ways!
1) Hot yoga has been shown to burn up to 2.5 times MORE calories than are burned in an unheated yoga class. 2) The hot room warms up your muscles, making your yoga poses easier to achieve as well as more effective. 3) Hot yoga has been shown to reduce stress, improve your mood, and reduce depressive symptoms. 4) Just being in the hot room increases your heart rate; add challenging yoga poses to that and you've got a workout!
​
Just don't love the heat? No worries! You can make ANY class an unheated class by practicing with us on our heated (for cold days!), rain-covered back deck at Thrive, where you'll see into and get the audio of the class happening just inside.
​
warm yOGA BARRE (85 degrees)
Ever wish barre had a little more yoga in it? We did too. This warm class blends the best of barre, Pilates, yoga, and sculpt — think targeted muscle work, light to medium weights, and controlled movements paired with satisfying stretches and mobility work. Expect a strong burn, balanced strength, and that delicious post-class “everything feels better (and stronger)" feeling.
power sculpt (77 degrees)
A dynamic, strength-focused yoga workout that builds heat without heating the room. Power Sculpt blends powerful yoga postures with weights and bodyweight training to build strength, stability, and endurance. Expect full-body conditioning, strong movement, and a great playlist to keep the energy high. You’ll leave feeling strong, worked, and balanced.

hot 60 / hot 90 (108 degrees) & outdoor 26 & 2 (Deck)
what is 26 & 2?
​
26 & 2 is a classic sequence of 26 postures and two breathing exercises practiced in a consistent order each class. Rooted in the Ghosh lineage of hatha yoga, this structured practice works the entire body from head to toe while building strength, flexibility, focus, and endurance.
​
Many students return to this sequence again and again because of its simplicity and effectiveness: the repetition allows you to track progress, deepen your understanding of each posture, and experience meaningful physical and mental shifts over time.
​
While the sequence itself is accessible to beginners, the heat can be the biggest challenge for those new to hot yoga. New students are always encouraged to listen to their bodies, take breaks when needed, and ease into the experience.
​
hot 60 and hot 90
​
These classes practice the 26 & 2 sequence in a heated room (108°F with ~40% humidity). The heat adds intensity and encourages the body to warm up deeply, but for many students the heat and humidity are the biggest challenge at first.
​
Both classes are still designed to be approachable for beginners, and modifications are offered for every posture.
If you’re new to practicing in this level of heat, remember that you always have options:
​
• take breaks
• move slowly
• or step out to cool down when needed
​
At Thrive, we also offer something special for students who want the benefits of the sequence without the full heat experience: our outdoor deck allows you to practice with the same live audio from class while enjoying fresh air, making it a great option for beginners, hot-room newcomers, or anyone who simply prefers a cooler environment.
​
preparing for hot classes
​​
Practicing in a hot room feels very different from other yoga classes, so preparation matters.
​
A few simple tips help a lot:
​
• Hydrate well in the 24–36 hours before class
• Eat lightly beforehand (a small snack is fine, but avoid heavy meals within about 2 hours)
• Take your time getting used to the heat — acclimation happens gradually
​
Trying to chug water right before or during class usually won't help. Steady hydration throughout the day works much better. Most importantly: listen to your body.
26 & Tunes 26 & Tunes is our classic 26 & 2 sequence set to a fun, upbeat playlist. Held Fridays at 5:30pm (fall through spring), it's equal parts focused practice and joyful sweat session — the perfect way to kick off your weekend.
​
Mat-length towels are required for our Hot 60, Hot 90, and 26 & Tunes classes to keep you - and everyone within distance of you - safe and slip-free! Your beach towels & average-sized bath towels from home will work great! If you forget to bring a towel, rent a Yogitoes towel for just $3 at Thrive.

ZEN IN YOUR LIFE?
TRY THESE CHILL CLASSES
Warm yin (85 degrees)
New to yoga? Need to slow down and reset? Warm Yin is yoga at its most quiet and restorative. In this gentle, floor-based practice, poses are supported with bolsters (yoga pillows: the best) and blocks and held for several minutes at a time. The slow pace allows the body’s connective tissues — fascia, ligaments, and tendons — to gradually release while the nervous system settles into deep calm. Expect long, supported stretches, minimal effort, and a spacious environment where your body and mind can fully unwind.
​
Warm yin & Yoga nidra (85 degrees; monthly workshop)
​
Once a month, our Warm Yin practice expands into a special 90-minute Yin & Yoga Nidra workshop led by Katie Williams. After settling into several yin poses, the class transitions into Yoga Nidra, often called yogic sleep — a guided meditation that brings the body into profound rest while the mind remains gently aware. Many people find Yoga Nidra to be one of the most deeply restorative practices in yoga. This workshop is held on a Sunday night each month and is a beautiful opportunity to slow down, reset, and restore.
Gentle Yoga (77 degrees)
Brand new to yoga? This is another wonderful place to begin.
​
Gentle Yoga offers a supportive introduction to yoga through simple, accessible movements, mindful breathing, and foundational postures. With no Down Dog and plenty of options for support, this class focuses on improving mobility, building gentle strength, and helping you feel more comfortable in your body. Along the way, you’ll learn helpful alignment cues and modifications you can use in many of our other classes. Bolsters (firm yoga pillows), blocks, and straps make every posture adaptable so you can move at your own pace in a welcoming, judgment-free environment.
slow flow (85 degrees)
Let this be your anytime reset. Slow Flow is a warm vinyasa class that moves at a more spacious, intentional pace. Instead of rushing from pose to pose, you’ll have time to settle into each movement, explore alignment, and connect breath with body. After a slow, strength-building standing sequence, the class gradually transitions into longer-held yin poses and a short meditation, helping you unwind and close the day feeling grounded and restored. A beautiful practice for any level — especially when you’re craving movement that feels steady, mindful, and deeply nourishing.
Yoga for seniors & gentle movers
As a twenty-something yoga student in Washington, DC, I remember the moment I truly understood the power of a lifelong yoga practice. An eighty-something woman began attending the same advanced class I went to every Saturday morning. Week after week she showed up — graceful, strong, and remarkably steady in her practice. She held her own alongside students decades younger, and often outshined all of us.
​
I remember thinking: I want to be her when I grow up.
​
Yoga is one of the rare practices that can truly stay with you for a lifetime. And like anything worthwhile, we all begin somewhere.
​
At Thrive, our community includes students of all ages, body types, and experience levels. Our studio is a welcoming, judgment-free space where you can start exactly where you are. We’re excited to offer these classes as part of our ongoing effort to support a vibrant, growing community of movers and yogis at every stage of life.
​​Yoga is one of the best ways to maintain mobility, balance, strength, and overall well-being as we age. Many members of our Thrive community began their yoga practice later in life and have discovered just how transformative it can be.
​
If you’re newer to yoga or looking for a slower, more supportive pace, these classes are wonderful places to start. Our teachers offer clear guidance, plenty of modifications, and a welcoming environment where you can move comfortably at your own pace.
​
We especially recommend beginning with:
​
GENTLE YOGA
A supportive introduction to yoga with simple movements, stretching, and breath awareness.
WARM YIN
A quiet, restorative class with longer supported stretches that help improve flexibility and ease stiffness.
RANGE OF MOTION
A mobility-focused class designed to improve joint movement, stability, and everyday ease of motion.
