Yoga SCHEDULE

Located in the mezzanine, our yoga studio has stunning floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the space with natural light and overlook downtown Austin, South Congress, and the neighborhood Alpine pond. The yoga studio features cork floors, two walls of mirrors and is stocked with Doterra Therapeutic grade Essential Oils. Mats, blocks, blankets, and straps are available.

Climbing can put more intense stress on a body than any other sport. Yoga balances out the intensity of climbing by stretching the muscles, promoting balance, increasing core strength, and teaching you how to be in your body. Additionally, yoga teaches climbers how to calm their mind – helping them after a fall or even in the middle of a crux.

At Crux we provide a variety drop-in yoga classes and styles for climbers and yogis alike. All yoga classes are included with a Crux membership or day pass.

Yoga Class Descriptions

**New to Yoga? Let your instructor know. They are there to support you!**

It doesn’t matter if you’re trying out yoga for the first time, just getting back into it, or a seasoned yogi–this class takes all skill levels into account. Learn to explore your body and its limits safely with the support of detailed instruction from our instructors. You can expect a little grounding, a little flow, and a lot of attention to detail in this hour long class.

V1 Vinyasa is meant for anyone looking to work on the fundamentals and strengthen their understanding of yoga. It is perfect for any level of practitioner to build a strong foundation and knowledge of a flow-based class.

This class will begin with a check in, an exercise in mindfulness through breath moving into a flow that connects each movement to the next with smooth transitions. Focus will be on safe alignment with options to modify postures while offering space to connect with your breath and explore new movement in your body. End with savasana (resting posture) to integrate the hours’ work.

V2 Vinyasa provides a deeper exploration into the connection of breath and movement. You’ll find that these classes offer opportunities to explore more challenging postures and transitions while still offering modifications to cater to any level of practitioner. Mindful movement and balance are a big focus and playfulness is always encouraged!

If you are looking for a stronger and more rigorous style of practice similar to a power class, V2 will deliver. The only detour would be that the speedier nature of power isn’t necessarily present.

Keywords: posture exploration, modifications, balance

Align combines functional movement, biomechanical alignment actions, and breathwork to intelligently create a strong, safe, and sustainable yoga practice. Through this exploration, the alignment of foundational poses is expanded upon within more advanced postures. With plenty of variations offered throughout the class, Align is both accessible and challenging.

Unwind & Flow classes begin with a slow-paced flow focusing on slow transitions through postures involving balance and mobility. The end of class takes it down a notch with yin-style postures to encourage relaxation and a deep stretch.

Depart from your day and prepare for the one ahead, with this renewing, strengthening, and restful class.

Keywords: slow flow, deep stretch, breath work, warm up and then relax

Learn to release tension in your body through breathing practices and yoga-informed stretching. This class includes intelligent postural progressions to warm up then relieve stress in commonly tense areas of the body. The hour concludes with a set of breathing exercises (also called Pranayama).

Share your injuries or stretch requests with the instructor before class if you’d like the class structured with your needs in mind.

This restorative class focuses on long-held postures using a lacrosse ball or tennis ball to massage specific areas of tension in the fascia (read: connective tissue that encloses the muscle fibers). This style of self-massage is also referred to as self-myofascial release. The class incorporates yogic breathing and poses that help relax the body while massaging it, making tension release all the more sweet.
Keywords: massage, tension release, slow, relaxation

CYoga classes are carefully sequenced to work towards peak postures (more challenging asanas) within a clearly defined theme. These classes can feel much like workshops as each peak posture is broken down step-by-step with time for students to try them/ask questions. Depending on the theme, there is time is left at the end for inversions (handstands, forearm balance, headstands). If you’re looking to explore your body and its boundaries through challenging asanas, this is the class for you.
