The Practice

Every body moves differently.

Some days you want to sweat. Some days you want to sing. Some days you want to lie down. There’s a class for each one, all in Juanita Village, Kirkland.

Before you choose

What “All Levels” means here.

Every class at Arise is All Levels. Not because every class is easy — some will work you hard — but because every class is yours. Our teachers modify, offer options, and meet you where your body is that day. You don’t have to earn your way into a power class. You don’t have to be flexible for Yin. Come as you are, and come back.

On heat

Heat comes from the practice.

Our rooms run at 80° (Yin at 76°). We encourage our teachers to build heat from the inside — breath, pace, and sequencing — rather than turning up the thermostat. A powerful class comes from the work, not the room.

Trial, starting September 27: Tuesday-night Ashtanga at 7:30 pm moves to 90°. Come try it and tell us what you think.

On fusion

What “Fusion” means here.

A Fusion class keeps its root — vinyasa, yin — and opens it to the teacher’s hand. Live music, weights, breathwork, sound, scent, something we haven’t taught yet. Where it goes belongs to whoever is leading. No two Fusion classes are alike, so check the schedule to see who’s teaching. Come open. Expect to be surprised.

i.

Move Strongly.

The ones that work you. You’ll know by the end.

Power Vinyasa

Power yoga. Vinyasa, turned up.

Our hardest heated vinyasa flow. Inversions if you want them, options if you don’t.

Learn more

Standing sequences, balancing postures, peak shapes, and inversions when ready — built into a flow that moves with intention rather than urgency. Pace, peak, and creative arc are shaped by the teacher leading. Expect heat, focused breath, and full-body strength work start to finish. For practitioners who want to be challenged without being rushed, and who understand that precision matters more than speed. You’ll leave warm, clear-headed, and worked.

Heated 80° Strong

Fusion Vinyasa + Kirtan

Flow, then voice.

A vinyasa flow class, then a few minutes of kirtan — call-and-response chanting. You don’t need to know the words.

Learn more

A full Fusion Vinyasa flow, with a stretch of kirtan — call-and-response chant, sometimes with harmonium or percussion — bookending the practice rather than running underneath it. Movement is steady and full-bodied; the chant is a moment inside the class, not the soundtrack. For practitioners drawn to the older roots of yoga, and for anyone curious what a flow class feels like with a few minutes of chant in it. You don’t need to know the chants. Show up open.

Heated 80° Kirtan

Ashtanga

Not choreography. Method.

Ashtanga yoga, Primary Series. Same sequence every time, your pace. The kind of class you get better at.

Learn more

The Primary Series — a fixed sequence of postures linked by breath, repeated each class so the structure becomes familiar. Standing poses, seated forward folds, hip openers, backbends, and a closing sequence, always in the same order. You move at your own pace within the form. For practitioners who want a defined practice to return to, a baseline to measure against, and the depth that only comes from repetition. Bring a willingness to be a beginner again. The discipline does the rest.

ii.

Move Steadily.

Flow, at whatever speed you need it today. Vinyasa is the middle. Slow is slower. Foundational teaches it. Hatha holds each pose longer. Fusion is the teacher’s.

Vinyasa

The baseline.

Classic vinyasa flow yoga. The one most people come back to. Steady, warm, breath first.

Learn more

A balanced flow class — warming sequences, standing postures, hip and shoulder openers, and a grounded close. Pace, music, and creative arc shift with the teacher leading. Strong enough to challenge experienced practitioners. Approachable enough that someone six classes in can keep up. The class most members come back to.

Heated 80° Breath-Led

Foundational Vinyasa

Flow, taught.

Beginner-friendly vinyasa, one piece at a time. First yoga class ever? Start here.

Learn more

Warming sequences broken down step by step, key postures introduced with alignment cues and prop options, and a closing seated practice — taught at a deliberate pace so the building blocks of flow are learned well. For those new to vinyasa, returning to the mat after time away, or experienced practitioners refining the basics that support every other class. The basics are the practice. Everything builds from here.

Heated 80° Foundational

Hatha

Vinyasa, held longer.

Hatha yoga: one pose, several breaths, then the next. Nobody’s rushing you.

Learn more

Classic hatha yoga — a vinyasa-based class where standing and seated postures are held for several breaths each, with time to find alignment before moving on. Less linking, more attention. For anyone who wants to understand the shapes rather than move through them, and for practitioners who find faster flow too quick to feel.

Heated 80° Traditional

Slow Vinyasa

Same flow, slower.

Slow flow yoga. Vinyasa at half speed — stay in the shape long enough to feel it.

Learn more

The sequencing of a vinyasa class, slowed down — more breaths per posture, deliberate transitions, and room to notice what each shape asks of you. Still warm, still full-bodied, never rushed. For practitioners who want depth over pace, and for anyone easing back into flow.

Heated 80° Breath-Led

Fusion Vinyasa

Vinyasa, plus the teacher’s twist.

Vinyasa yoga plus whatever the teacher brought — live music, weights, breathwork. Check who’s on.

Learn more

A vinyasa-rooted class that doesn’t stay traditional — one teacher might weave in live instrumentation, another weighted work, another dance-inspired transitions or breathwork. For practitioners who want vinyasa as a starting point, not a ceiling.

Heated 80° Teacher-Shaped
iii.

Move Gently.

Low light. Long holds. Nobody’s watching.

Yin

Slow is powerful.

Yin yoga: floor, props, low light, long holds. Come down on purpose.

Learn more

Floor-based shapes held for three to five minutes — long enough to reach connective tissue and the parasympathetic nervous system, not muscle. Supported by props. Held in low light. For desk-bound professionals, athletes recovering from training, hypermobile practitioners learning to stop overreaching, and anyone whose nervous system needs to come down before the week starts again. Yin is not about stretching further. It’s about softening wisely.

Heated 76° Restorative

Fusion Yin

Stillness, expanded.

Yin yoga with sound healing, breathwork, or scent — whatever the teacher brought. Still stillness.

Learn more

The long-held floor shapes stay — that’s Yin — reaching the same connective tissue and the same nervous-system quiet by another route: live sound, guided breathwork, scent, curated music. For practitioners who love Yin and want it immersive, and for anyone who tried Yin once and found the silence harder than the postures.

Heated 76° Sensory

Yin-yasa

Flow, then surrender.

Yin yoga first, then vinyasa flow, then rest. Open it, use it, settle it.

Learn more

Yin first, cold — long-held floor shapes before the body warms. Then vinyasa to build heat and take the new range into motion. Then a restorative close. The Yin release reaches connective tissue and joints rather than muscle; the flow carries it into movement; the close settles everything you just opened into the muscles and the nervous system. Cold, warm, still — a full-body arc in one class. For practitioners who want the deep tissue work of Yin and the movement of flow, in the order the body actually responds to. You’ll leave opened, worked, and settled.

Heated 76° Flow + Yin

Yoga Therapy + Yoga Nidra

Rest as practice.

Gentle yoga, then yoga nidra — guided deep rest, lying down. That’s it.

Learn more

Gentle movement to begin, easing you into stillness. Then Nidra: a guided practice done lying down, moving into the state between waking and sleeping. You do nothing but listen. The opening builds body awareness — how to find alignment and move from it. Thirty minutes of Nidra is often compared to hours of sleep for the nervous system. For anyone running on empty, wired-but-tired, recovering from hard training, or who finds seated meditation impossible. No experience needed. You’ll leave like you set something down.

70° Rest
iv.

Move with Confidence.

Strength for carrying groceries, kids, and yourself. Music you’ll ask about after.

Longevity Strength

Build what lasts.

Strength training, slow and controlled — your body, sometimes a prop. Get stronger without paying for it in your joints.

Learn more

Controlled strength work — time under tension, long holds, and full-body engagement built to develop real strength through the ranges you already own. Mostly your own bodyweight; props when they help. Less release, more output. For practitioners who want to actually build muscle without wrecking their joints, athletes maintaining power past forty, and anyone who wants to leave having worked. You’ll leave stronger, not just looser.

Heated 80° Strength

Longevity Body Vinyasa

Prepare the body. Then move it.

Mobility, stretching, movement your body doesn’t usually do, and everything in between. It could be anything — sometimes a gentle flow, sometimes not.

Learn more

A class about preparing the body for movement. Joint prep, deep stretching, and shapes your body doesn’t normally make — where it opens, where it holds, where it’s been compensating without telling you. Some days that leads into a short, easy flow. Some days it’s something else entirely — it could be anything the body needs. Not power. Movement you understand. For lifters and runners who want yoga that holds up their training, desk-bound bodies that need range before they need movement, and anyone who’s felt theirs quietly shrinking.

Heated 80° Body + Vinyasa

PULSE

Pilates-forward. Our own recipe.

Mat Pilates, sculpt, calisthenics, and everything in between — whatever the room wants that day. Yoga on both ends, a global playlist throughout.

Learn more

PULSE: Power. Unite. Let go. Strengthen. Every body. Pilates-forward, but we make our own recipe. Mat Pilates, sculpt, calisthenics, and everything in between — it could be anything, built around what the room wants that day. If you’ve done mat Pilates, you’ll know the props — balls, hoops, bands — and the burn. Think of it as a yoga sandwich: yoga on top to warm you up, three rounds of full-body work in the middle — weights, bands, hoops, whatever the room needs — and yoga on the bottom to bring you down. From Afrobeat to Bhangra, Soca to Salsa, Odesza to The Human Experience, the music carries the class. It morphs to the room. Every beat. Every body. Every background. All levels, all abilities, all welcome.

Heated 80° Mat Pilates Low Impact

PULSE +

Build heat. Then settle.

The full PULSE class — Pilates, sculpt, calisthenics, and everything in between — plus a guided wind-down at the end.

Learn more

The full PULSE class with a closing reset — the rounds give way in the final portion to guided recovery and stillness. Same music, same props, then time for the nervous system to recalibrate after the effort. You’ll leave worked, and restored.

v.

Move Through Life.

Pregnancy, the months after, and the in-between. Come as you are that week.

Prenatal & Postnatal

Support through change.

Prenatal and postnatal yoga. Every trimester, every stage, whatever today is.

Learn more

A movement class shaped around the changes of pregnancy and recovery — pelvic floor connection, hip and shoulder mobility, functional strength, and breath patterns that translate to labor and the months after. Modifications offered for every trimester and postpartum stage. You don’t need to power through anything that doesn’t feel right. Show up where you are, every time.

70° Pregnancy + Recovery Sun 10:00 am · Tue 5:00 pm

Pregnancy Circle

Community + conversation.

Once a month, tea, soft seats, and the questions you haven’t asked anyone. No mat.

Learn more

A monthly facilitated circle — no movement, no agenda beyond the conversation itself. Topics shift with the group: the parts of pregnancy and postpartum that don’t come up at the OB, the choices nobody warned you about, the questions that feel too small to ask anyone else. Tea, soft seating, and an hour with women in the same season. Open to anyone pregnant, postpartum, or somewhere in between.

Monthly Conversation First one Sun, Nov 1

Baby & Me

Move, connect, and be.

You, your baby, some movement. Feed, change, pause — nobody minds.

Learn more

A space for you and your baby to move, connect, and simply be — without pressure or expectation. Gentle movement for you, moments of interaction with your baby, and flexibility for the unpredictability of this stage of life. Feeding, changing, and pausing are always welcome.

Comfortable Parent + Baby Coming Soon
