NEXT LEVEL INTERMEDIATE CLASS

Building on the 26+2 beginners sequence, this dynamic 90-minute intermediate class introduces postures that bridge the gap between beginners & advanced practices.  Gianna will draw from multiple yoga lineages to craft a sequence that varies each time, blending traditional hot yoga roots with creative movement & deeper expression.  You’ll explore transitions, strength-building holds & expanded shapes that challenge balance, focus & flexibility.  You’ll be prepped & ready to try the 84 asana advanced class!

Saturday, June 28th from 1pm-2:30pm

105F SOUTH LOOP

84 ASANA

 ADVANCED CLASS

Step into the full spectrum of classical hot yoga with this two-hour journey through the original 84 asanas of Patanjali — where the 26+2 series was derived from.  This advanced class invites you to explore your edge through backbends, inversions, arm balances & more, all offered with Gianna’s accessible, encouraging & playful approach.  While challenging, this class is not about “mastery” & more about joyful exploration, curiosity & celebrating the body’s limitless potential.
