Our series run 4-6 weeks depending on the format. Most classes are online and will be offered through Zoom. Some classes and events will be in person in Austin, Texas. You can join our MeetUp group (InnerGrising Austin) to follow the hikes and classes offered in person.

Our live classes will run 30-60 minutes. Some classes require light free weights (3-5 pounds) and restorative yoga classes require two blocks and a strap for the best results.

Make sure to register ahead if time so that you can get set up beforehand. Gemma usually opens the class 10 minutes early to check in.

Yes, our classes are beginner-friendly. We offer options to modify poses or movements whenever we can.

Because we don't know your personal health history, you should always listen to your own body and modify when something doesn't feel right.
