Exciting Changes; A Note From the Owner

Hey friends,

​

Big changes are coming in January! Starting next year, we’re transitioning to a shared rental space model, which means our studio will no longer run regular yoga or class schedules. Instead, the space will be available for teachers, wellness practitioners, and creatives to rent for their own classes, workshops, and events.

​

December will be the last month for our regular class schedule, so if you have any unused class packages or memberships, this is the time to use them up. January will be a transition period where I’ll still be teaching my regularly scheduled classes and help everyone adjust to the new system.

​

I’m so grateful for your support as we shift into this new chapter. It’s about taking a fearless leap into space, a space that inspires independence and autonomy , and at the same time,being part of the greater *collective*.  

​

With love and gratitude,

Tara & the Crew at EC

Buti Yoga

Buti, in Indian Marathi, means "the cure to something hidden or kept secret." This practice is a high-intensity fusion of yoga, tribal dance, and plyometrics. Classes combine cardio, strength training and flexibility in one seamless format. Buti creates a strong, empowered group that resembles a tribe.Buti® classes utilize spiral structure technique® to facilitate the release + toning of the body - physical, emotional and energetic. Through primal movement, dynamic asana and cardio-sprints, students breakdown the emotional barriers that hold them back from achieving self-love and true human connection.

Buti Deep

Masterful and intentional, DEEP is restorative movement sequence that utilizes the Spiral Structure Technique® to connect mind to muscle and catalyze vibrational change on a cellular level. Unlike other Buti® trademarked formats, DEEP is low-impact and focuses on micro-movements with physical touch to connect the brain to innervated muscle and restructure the deep core. DEEP is designed to prevent injury, restore innervation and assist in the recovery of bladder/ uterine prolapse and diastasis recti. The class structure also includes self-massage and pressure point activation to release muscles during deep restorative asanas.

Buti Bands

BUTI® BANDS is a HIIT-based resistance training workout targeted to LIFT + SHAPE your booty, while toning + strengthening the hips. Bands are utilized during high-intensity intervals to challenge the body through all planes of motion while targeting the hips and booty through lateral engagement.

Class Descriptions

Soft  Flow

 This slow and smooth class is more that just your average gentle yoga practice. We will focus on steady asanas, balance and developing core strength and elongation of certain muscle groups, learning which ones work to keep you head held high as you glide through your daily life. 

 

 Why posture’s so important:
Having good posture is about more than looking good. It helps you to develop strength, flexibility, and balance in your body. These can all lead to less muscle pain and more energy throughout the day. Proper posture also reduces stress on your muscles and ligaments, which can reduce your risk of injury.

​

 

Suitable for anyone wishing to extend their existing yoga  practice in mind and body, stretch tight and sore muscles lengthen their frame in this exquisite hour we will spend together. Open to all levels, notably for dancers and athletes of all kinds needing some restoration. Props included.
