At kaivalya we practice and teach the Vinyasa style of yoga. Vinyasa—meaning “breath-synchronized movement”—covers a broad range of yoga classes made up of postures that flow from one to another through active breathing. The teacher will instruct you to move from one pose to the next on an inhale or an exhale. This technique is sometimes also called Vinyasa Flow, or just Flow because of the smooth way that the poses run together and become like a dance. Emphasis is on generating “prana,” or energy, as well as heat in order to flush the system of toxins and improve mental clarity and the integration of mind, body, and breath.

Yoga 101 Workshops

All skill levels

Held every two weeks, these free workshops are perfect for everyone, from beginners looking for an introduction to the fundamentals of yoga practice, to advanced yogis and yoginis who simply want to brush up on the basics. See the Special Events schedule for more information.

Mad Yogi Flow

Beginner/Intermediate

A more flowing pace to the class, while still providing thorough instruction and attention to detail; recommended for beginners wishing to challenge themselves a little bit more. If you’re not quite feeling up to our Power Flow class, this is a great alternative as it is still quite demanding... the perfect pace for many of our Mad Yogi's out there!

Power Flow

Intermediate/Advanced

More vigorous and challenging classes taught in a flow-style, inter-linking poses through a series of movements. Power Flow Yoga is a fast-paced class with poses that encourage alignment, flexibility, balance, strength, and cardiovascular endurance. Towels recommended!

Power Happy Hour

Intermediate/Advanced

This fast-paced Power Flow class provides a much healthier alternative to the traditional Madison happy hour. Practice yoga in front of our 20 foot windows and watch the madness of happy hour unfold across the street. You’ll thank yourself in the morning.

90° Flow

Heated Yoga

We crank up the heat to 90 degrees in this classic vinyasa flow class taught in the Baptiste style. Be sure to bring a towel and drink plenty of water during this class.

Hot Yoga

Bikram Style

Alex brings you a heated yoga class taught in the Bikram style. Similar to the 90° Flow, the room is kept very warm but not uncomfortably hot or humid. Classes last 90 minutes.

Pilates Power Flow

Pilates

Spice up your Flow with Pilates. Powerful core work added to your flowing sequences will give you new tools for balancing, breathing, lengthening and deepening your yoga practice.

Rooftop Yoga

Celebrate summer by practicing yoga outdoors on the rooftop of the Lucky Apartment building in downtown Madison, with sweeping views of UW campus and Lake Mendota. If the temperature is 65° or warmer and rain is not in the forecast you can expect to be outdoors enjoying the summer sun!
