Classes and Approach
MOV offers over 40 classes each week across a range of formats. The foundational class is Classic Hot Yoga, a set standing series with longer posture holds and focused breathwork, accessible to all levels. MOV Flow is a heated vinyasa practice with creative sequencing that changes each time. For those seeking strength, there is a conditioning class combining yoga postures with bodyweight exercises, drawing from Pilates, sculpt, and barre. MOV Barre is a fast-paced, unheated workout that blends pilates core work, barre, and yoga, always beginning and ending with savasana. Other offerings include MOV Ashtanga, a set sequence of poses in a heated room; MOV Slow Flow, a gentle vinyasa with dim lighting and candles; and MOV Candlelight Restorative, a deeply relaxing class offered in both the hot room and a cooler barre room. Intro to Hot Yoga is available for beginners, breaking down fundamentals in a supportive environment. Each class is designed to accommodate different experience levels with modifications and variations.
