ABOUT

Welcome to our hot yoga studio located in the East Bay, California, offering a variety of heated and room-temperature yoga and pilates classes. Situated in Pleasant Hill, we incorporate various practices in movement, breath, and meditation. We know that yoga is not a one-size-fits-all exercise, so we help each of you find the right yoga class for your needs.

Our goal is to create a space for the yoga community that provides balance, health, and wellness to all. Align Yoga offers a variety of yoga classes and styles, suitable to all levels. Flow and Yin Yoga are non-heated. Bikram, Inferno Pilates, and Fusion are all heated at varying temperatures. Hot yoga benefits everyone. The heat is a tool to increase flexibility by warming the muscles, joints, ligaments, and tendons. It improves range of motion and balance. The heat and humidity of the room detoxes the body through sweating. Align's yoga rooms use the latest infrared heat technology to detox and heal the body from the inside out.

Yoga Nidra (pronounced nih-drah) is a form of guided meditation also known as “yogic sleep” or “effortless relaxation.” It’s usually practiced lying down with a yoga teacher guiding the session. The goal is for the body to be completely relaxed while the mind is awake and focused inward.

During the course of Yoga Nidra, you learn to surf between the states of wakefulness and sleep, where your body finds its natural state of equilibrium (homeostasis) and the breath balances and becomes quiet. In this state, you can access the subtle flow of energy, called prana, in the body. One of the goals of this practice is to identify and remove blockages to its flow.

Felicity's journey with Yoga began in her twenties and activated deeply in her 40s. She was called to teach and in her exploration found an endless pool of discovery and teachings bound by a practice, called yoga. Her yoga teaching journey began with a 200-hour teacher training through Corepower Yoga, based on the Baron Baptiste Method, followed with yoga sculpt trainings and a Yoga Six training. She also has done trainings with the Kula Collective based in Guatemala. Felicity is also certified in the Prison Yoga Project Training, focusing on trauma-informed, mindfulness based yoga for incarcerated people.

As a consummate seeker she continues to study + learn the depth of knowledge and gifts yoga has to offer.
She believes yoga is for everyone. She creates experiences for all to feel welcomed, challenged, and inspired to unfold the physical, spiritual and emotional gifts within.

Felicity believes everyone is singular and on a journey to find and shine their individual light. Her teaching style is grounded in service, serving through action and engagement in every sequence of classes. She serves through humor, vulnerability, accessibility and kindness.

Check out Integrated Hatha with Sue Nguyen on Saturdays at 10:30 am. Integrated Hatha Yoga is a beginner/intermediate-level class based heavily in the Ghosh tradition. It is a 90-minute, dialogue-based, set-series class. It contains the traditional 26 postures from the beginner’s (Standard 26&2) series, plus additional asanas pulled from the classic Bikram 84 series tied together with an Ashtanga influence. We explore practicing arm balances, backbends, hip openers, and many more strength-building postures. One of the things that sets this class apart from other intermediate classes, is that it is taught with an operational command dialogue, so it has the same familiar rhythm, cadence, and intensity of the 26&2 that we all know and love.

Book on Momence today!
