Intensity Levels

Intensity is not the same as difficulty; it refers to the amount of exertion that a workout requires.

Level 1
This intensity level is ideal for students seeking slow-paced, restorative, or breath-focused content. Students often leave their mat feeling relaxed and at-ease.
Intensity 2—Outlined Copy Created with Sketch.
