Class Descriptions:

Embodied Practice

A mindful, strength-forward yoga practice rooted in classical principles

Description
Embodied Practice is a steady, intentional yoga class that weaves together movement, breath, meditation, and rest as an integrated whole. Rooted in classical Hatha yoga principles, this practice emphasizes internal awareness over external performance.

Each class includes guided pranayama, thoughtful sequencing that builds strength and mobility, periods of stillness and inquiry, and a spacious śavāsana. Movement may flow at times and pause at others, allowing space to sense, feel, and respond from within. Attention is placed on interoception, nervous system regulation, and the subtle processes of practice, rather than speed or choreography.

This class is physically engaging without being rushed, contemplative without being passive, and designed to support resilience, clarity, and embodied presence on and off the mat.

Integrated Flow

A dynamic yet grounded yoga practice exploring strength, balance, and continuity

Description
Integrated Flow offers a more dynamic expression of Tula’s approach to yoga, blending mindful flow with focused exploration of strength, balance, and inversion. Classes emphasize coordinated movement and breath, often using a one-movement-one-breath rhythm while maintaining clarity, control, and internal awareness.

Alongside flowing sequences, this class may include arm balances, inversions, and strength-based postures approached progressively and with thoughtful preparation. Each practice is supported by pranayama, moments of pause and integration, and concludes with meditation and deep rest.

Integrated Flow is physically challenging and mentally engaging, while remaining rooted in non-performative practice, nervous system awareness, and respect for individual process.

Foundations of Practice

An accessible introduction to yoga as a holistic practice

Description
Foundations of Practice is a welcoming class for those who are new to yoga, returning after time away, or seeking a slower, more supported entry into practice. This class introduces the essential building blocks of yoga in a clear, grounded, and approachable way.

Each class includes gentle movement, basic standing and seated postures, simple pranayama, and short periods of guided meditation, with ample time for questions, explanation, and integration. Emphasis is placed on safety, breath awareness, alignment, and learning how to practice with curiosity rather than effort or performance.

Foundations of Practice offers a steady starting place for beginners, and a meaningful reset for experienced students who want to revisit the fundamentals with care and intention.

Restorative Practice

A quiet, nourishing yoga practice supporting deep rest and regulation

Description
Restorative Practice is a contemplative class designed to support nervous system regulation, deep rest, and embodied awareness. Using props to support the body, postures are held for extended periods of time, allowing space for the breath to soften and the system to settle.

Classes may include fully supported restorative postures as well as longer-held, low-effort shapes inspired by yin yoga. These poses are approached with an emphasis on sensation awareness, ease, and internal listening rather than stretching or striving.

Each class includes guided pranayama, moments of meditation or reflection, and an extended śavāsana. This practice is appropriate for all bodies and offers a supportive space for rest, recovery, and subtle exploration.
