class types
When it comes to yoga, we believe in teaching what we know and revering the teachers that came before us. Our class types honor the rich history of yoga in San Francisco. Whether you come for Hatha, Vinyasa, Restore, or Flow + Restore, you’ll enjoy classes that feel both classic and compelling for your mind, body, and spirit.
VINYASA Flow
A Vinyasa Flow class at HAUM is more than just a flow class. We’ll give you the time and space you’re craving to reconnect with yourself and dance with your breath. Every class is creative to keep you in the present moment, but there will always be a familiar arc that respects your body’s natural intelligence. You can expect dynamic movement in which poses are linked together and synchronized to the breath for a powerful, flowing sequence. These classes are accessible for beginners and advanced yogis looking for a mindful, yet sweaty practice.
SLOW FLOW
It’s a busy world out there, and sometimes it is tempting to skip out on slowing down. HAUM’s Slow Flow classes are a yogic blend of effort and ease designed to create a powerful yet calming practice. In these sweet, sweaty classes, you can expect to hold specific poses while utilizing your breath and props to support your practice. Slow flow is an excellent practice for all yoga practitioners, especially maturing yogis and those working with injuries.
HATHA FLOW
Hatha Flow offers a balanced blend of movement and stillness, combining the fluidity of vinyasa with the grounding pauses of traditional hatha yoga. Expect to flow through sequences while also taking mindful moments to pause, deepen into postures, and feel the alignment and teachings settle into your body. Perfect for those looking to explore a bit of movement while staying connected to the breath and body, this class allows for both dynamic energy and the opportunity to rest in the pause.
FLOW + RESTORE
If you’re not sure where to begin, why not get the best of both worlds? HAUM’s Flow + Restore class is the perfect introduction for students interested in Vinyasa and Restorative yoga. The first half of this class focuses on connecting breath with movement for a gentle, yet powerful workout, whereas the second half will move to the ground and shift into a practice of deep relaxation. These classes are accessible to beginners and advanced yogis seeking a mixture of rejuvenation and rest.
YOGA NIDRA + SOUND HEALING
Yoga Nidra is the yogi’s sleep, but this class is so much more than an adult time-out! Our Yoga Nidra class at HAUM will guide your body into a deeply relaxed state while you remain observant of your subtle body. Through gentle movements, pranayama (breathwork), coordinated awareness, and sound, you will travel into layers of yourself that are not often available during the daily grind. With the potential to expand consciousness and unlock creativity, this class is a favorite for artists, seekers, and those looking for a better quality of sleep. A conscious intention will be utilized in practice to help you come home to your truest self. These classes are accessible to beginner yogis and advanced yogis.
SOUNDBATH
Need a reset? Our Soundbath class at HAUM is a full-body recharge without lifting a finger. All you have to do is lie back, get comfy, and let waves of sound do the work.
We use crystal bowls, gongs, chimes, and other vibrational goodness washing over you to create a soundscape that soothes your nervous system, clears mental fog, and leaves you feeling grounded and restored. It’s rest, wrapped in resonance.
No experience needed. No poses to hold. Just you, your breath, and a whole lot of good vibes.
