O2 Yoga is a vigorous, athletic, heat-building practice rooted in Astanga yoga. Innovated by studio founder/owner Mimi Loureiro, the O2-style is meant to focus and strengthen you, body and soul. All class levels are taught progressively with options for modification so that students can access the postures to the best of their ability with maximum opportunity for challenge. All of our teachers have been trained by Mimi, so you will notice a similarity in the way classes are put together, especially in regard to safety in postures. While some other forms of yoga are more restorative or slower-paced, O2 Yoga will get you up and moving and feeling fantastic!
We recommend that all students try a Basics class on their first visit to O2, regardless of their experience level. Our Basics classes are designed to be a solid examination of fundamentals of the style of yoga we offer here. That said, you are welcome to attend any class you like — there’s no “test” to move on to a more advanced class. But you WILL get more out of your practice if you’re familiar with Sun A’s (vinyasas) and other foundational poses before attending Intermediate and beyond.
It is best not to come to a Primary Series class unless you have taken a Power class or have previously practiced the Astanga Primary Series. Our Primary Series classes are fast-moving with less instruction than other classes; the teacher assumes that students have familiarity with the sequence and postures. Second Series is recommended only for advanced practitioners.

As often as feels right for your body. The more often you practice, the quicker you will notice progress. However, if you are just starting out, two to three times a week will help you become familiar with the postures and the pace of the practice. Once you have been coming to class for a few months, you may want to increase your practice to four to six times a week.
You each need to register for a workshop or class as individuals, so your friend would need to have his or her own online account and purchase his or her own workshop or class package — buying one for your friend on your own account won’t get your friend into the class or reserve a spot for them in a workshop.
