Original Hot Yoga (OHY)
Got stress? Feeling disconnected from your body and mind? We’ve got just the class for you. Hit the reset button and start feeling better. Here at the Studio, Original Hot Yoga (OHY) was where it all began. For five years OHY was the only class on the schedule. The accessibility and simplicity of the series make it a great class for someone just starting out. The set series of 26 beginner-friendly postures helps us create confidence in the hot room, heal our bodies, and set us on the path of health and wellness. Affectionately known as the OG of the Studio, we highly recommend OHY to anyone who wants to gain familiarity and measure progress.
Studio Yoga
Discover a practice that goes beyond the ordinary. This class seamlessly blends the energizing rhythm of flow yoga, the functional focus of mobility training, and the steady calm of hatha, all in one dynamic experience.
It’s an intentional mix designed to work your body in multiple ways: improve strength and flexibility, support joint health, and leave you feeling refreshed rather than drained.
The result? A complete, time-efficient practice that honors both movement and stillness, perfect for anyone wanting more depth, more variety, and more value from their time on the mat.
Flow
Stress can quickly creep into our day to day, resulting in exhaustion, anxiety, and overwhelm. The Studio’s Flow is a chance to de-stress by coming back to the simplicity of breath and movement. Our Flow is an athletic form of Vinyasa yoga that is fun and playful. This practice helps to keep your mind present and focused while you work with the physical practice. We effectively warm up the specific joints required to execute each and every posture and use elements of FRS to safely explore more technical postures. The result is renewed vitality, a calmer mind, and a feeling of groundedness in the body; you’ll walk out ready to conquer the day. This class is accessible to anyone who craves movement, has a willingness to work hard, and wishes to be more attuned to their body.
Inferno HIIT
There’s a whole lotta information out there, you can grab a workout easy-peasy off insta or sign up for an app, yet it’s hard to know what to do and who to trust. We’ve taken all the guesswork out for you. Inferno HIIT uses tried and true basic pilates methods and the scientifically proven research of Dr. Tabata to build an effective, efficient, and super fun workout that will change your body. This is a high-intensity, interval workout that will get your heart pumping without pounding on your joints. Tons of group motivation, fun music, and disco lights. We encourage you to JOIN THE PARTY!
Inferno Weights
We all hear we gotta put weights in our hands- and yet it can still feel super intimidating. The Studio is here for you. Our Inferno Weights (IW) guides you through a thoughtful and intelligent sequence that will get your heart rate up and leave you feeling super strong. Our teachers will help you select the right weights and have fun while getting the ultimate workout. IW builds on inferno hot pilates, adding weights and bands to give you an awesome low-impact workout. Are you ready for it?
the Heavy
Are you ready to take your fitness to the next level? Crunched for time? Join us for the Heavy. This high-intensity interval training class combines dynamic, multi-joint moves with medium to heavy weights. You’ll get a high-impact workout (think cardio and strength) led by our most experienced teachers. Bumping tunes, party lights, and motivation help you walk away feeling elated and powerful. The class can be tailored to suit your needs. Be prepared to go hard and have fun. Walk out the door feeling strong as a’mother. (45 mins)
Fusion/Sculpt
Anyone else looking to have a little FUN? Blow off a little steam in your workout? Get down to a bumping playlist? Then Fusion is for you. Fusion shows up once a week on the schedule and is a playful flow class with a dash of HIIT. No need to be an expert in either modality, simply show up ready for a good workout! As with all of our classes, everyone is welcome and there is ample opportunity to pick it up or take it down a notch depending on how you are feeling that day.
Kinstretch
Full body strength & conditioning. Kin is the most important class on the schedule. Full stop.
This class will teach you how to assess your body’s range of motion and increase your joint health, all while having fun with the Studio peeps. So many people walk around with aches and pains- accepting that this is a result of getting older or that they simply ‘have bad knees or hips.’ In response, we limit activities, even the ones that bring us joy. This makes us feel even worse. Kinstretch will give you the tools needed to take control of how you feel while reducing pain and suffering. Developed by Dr. Andreo Spina, Kin provides “movement enhancement systems that develop maximum body control, flexibility, and usable ranges of motion.” What are your goals? Kinstretch will get you there faster.
Yin
The yin to our yang, a mini-vacation, and an incredible addition to your week. Slow it all down and relax. A yoga sequence that stays seated and uses long holds to encourage your muscles to relax in order to get into the deeper tissue that needs some TLC. You won’t believe how good you feel, how soundly you sleep, and why it took you so long to try it. Class is warm not hot – wear your comfy clothes and leave feeling deeply at peace
There’s more than one way to train knees- we’ve got 3 for you right here. Different loading strategies create different adaptations. Save this and add it to your routine when your knees need some TLC.
✅ knee CARs. There is a reason we talk about CARs all the time. It’s the best place to start when you get curious enough about how your body moves. Learning to isolate the joints helps pinpoint limitations and pain.
✅axiels. Learning to rotate your knees is hard. Put a block between the knees to block the hips from joining the party.
✅knee hovers. A block is a good tool because you have 3 heights to play with. Knee flexion can be a limiter for a lot of us. Learn to train it controlled and specifically.

Take a minute, pinch and zoom, read the slides. Learn about Vermont’s African American Heritage Trail. For instance, did you know Vermont’s state constitution was the first constitution in America to prohibit slavery when signed on July 7, 1777…just down the road in Windsor, VT. #blackhistorymonth #vermontblackhistory #thestudiouv

Train the chain.
Every step you take uses your foot, ankle and knee. When they work well as a team movement feels easier and better.
Take advantage of yoga and kin this month and learn more about why your knee is cranky and your squat is limited.
