Lit by the soft glow of candles, the ambiance is tranquil and calming, facilitating deep relaxation and an opportunity for self-reflection. Yin yoga encourages practitioners to release tension and explore the subtler aspects of their bodies and minds, enhancing flexibility, while also providing an avenue for stress relief and mindfulness.

BUTI YOGA

ALL LEVELS

Shake, spiral, and release tension and stuck energy with Buti yoga. Buti is an Indian Marathi word that means "a cure that has been hidden or kept secret." Buti is yoga that goes to the beat of the music. Think primal movement, deep core engagement, and fluid motions. Buti is about self-love and self-expression, not self-containment. It’s about saying YES and letting the body FEEL what it's like to move, breathe, and shake. Drop out of your mind and back into your body. If you find yourself wanting to start a spontaneous dance party when the beat drops in yoga class, Buti is for you. All levels are encouraged, and no prior Buti experience is necessary.
