Young & old, active or sedentary, every BODY is capable of reaching its own unique challenge & achieving growth along the way. Downtown YOGA continues to help Las Vegans (& visitors from all over the world) find these unique, healthy challenges through the mind-body practice of yoga. Drop by an upcoming class as we enter Year 7 of promoting wellness within the DTLV community! 🌎
Our classes unfold at a welcoming pace for all. Each position, or asana, assumed during class lasts several breath cycles to allow practitioners to ease themselves into complicating forms without getting left behind. It also requires purposeful concentration, as we utilize large muscle groups simultaneously, working through full ranges of motion at the joints. Breathwork techniques, like Pranayama & diaphragmatic breath, will be introduced. Pratyahara (sensory withdrawal) & Dhyana (meditation) are also attempted in our offered classes as we all venture closer toward the self.
After working up a sweat, refuel the body with breakfast, lunch, dinner or a cool beverage from one of the eco-friendly park's dining/drinking establishments. Container Park discounts available for all Downtown YOGA attendees! See below for list of participating small businesses.

CLASS INFO & ADDITIONAL COMPONENTS :
> OUTDOOR ASHTANGA FLOW || EVERY SATURDAY
Saturday sessions are led in the Ashtanga style by instructor, Rayce 'The Realtor' Rayos. Rayce founded Downtown YOGA in 2017 after gaining his RYT200 & CPT-ACE credentials, & graduated from the Univeristy of Nevada Las Vegas with Bachelor of Science degrees in Kinesiology & Business Administration- teaching yoga on campus to students, faculty, & staff along the way. His breath-centric class emphasizes techniques known as Pranayama, calls for sensory withdrawal (Pratyahara), & includes meditative elements (Dhyana). About 25-30 postures (Asana) are assumed during this class, spending 5-10 breath cycles (inhales & exhales) in each position, allowing the body to gradually acclimate to the imposed demands, & ultimately deepening the expression of poses as time passes. Relevant anatomical & physiological concepts are explored throughout the 75-minute session.
ALL AGES, ABILITY LEVELS, & BODY TYPES ARE WELCOME.
WHEN: Every Saturday - 8:45am - 10:00am
> SUNDAY SUNRISE YOGA || EVERY SUNDAY
This class is designed as an introduction to the ancient holistic practice of Yoga. Nina Bejarano leads this slower-paced class that is focused on developing clear & safe alignment in foundational poses. Nina received her RYT200 credential from the Yogatrotter Academy in Bali, Indonesia. She invites her students to get curious about how the body moves and feels throughout your practice, & to play around with poses that appropriately challenge your strength, balance, & flexibility. Enjoy moments of pause to remain present & improve your mind-body connection. Accessible alignment cues will alllow each practitioner to decide what the expression of each pose looks and feels like for their own body. Join these sessions to learn, play & break a safe sweat in a supportive environment.
ALL AGES, ABILITY LEVELS, & BODY TYPES ARE WELCOME.
WHEN: Every Sunday - 8:45am - 10:00am
> MOONLIT MONDAY VINYASA || EVERY MONDAY
Get in sync with these active sessions that feature extended sequencing, allowing the body movement to link with the flow of breath, typical of the Vinyasa style. The varying sequences/techniques attempted throughout class are designed to loosen the body, strengthen the muscles, mobilize the joints, & quiet the mind. There is ample opportunity for some upper-level asana postures/peaks for those more daring, but progressions also consist of approachable poses for newer yogis & yoginis to work themself into at their own pace.
ALL AGES & BODY TYPES ARE WELCOME. CLASS LEVEL: LEVEL 1-2

In the life of any person, especially in the year 2024, taking the time to tap in with the breath & brain (while simultaneously testing our anatomy in rewarding ways) allows for growth to occur on conscious & subconscious levels. Human expression is rooted in an individual's experiences, & what better to experience wholeheartedly than your own being? Plus, it allows us to come together as a community and raise our collective consciousness (& conscientiousness) as we share time & expend effort together !
Yoga is an ancient Sanskrit word loosely translating to union or yoke. It is said in reference to the unification of one’s body & mind through continual practice, leading to outward clarity & knowledge of self gradually taking root in diligent yoginis & yogis all over the world... for millennia!
It is truly intended for all humans, & every BODY.
See ya' on the mat soon! Namasté.
