NEW TO THE STUDIO?
move easier.
feel better.
Understand your body.
Thoughtfully taught yoga in Chestertown, Maryland.
Yoga that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
Your body has its own history, habits, strengths, and limitations. We think your yoga practice should account for that.
At Slack Tide, our classes are built around purposeful movement and attentive instruction. We help students develop strength, improve mobility, explore greater flexibility, and recognize the patterns that influence how they move.
We don't expect everyone to look the same in a pose, and we don't believe more intensity always means more progress. Our goal is to help you get to know your body so you can work with it more effectively.

Ideal for anyone new to yoga, returning after a hiatus, or working with an injury, as long as students can get up and down from the floor. This class builds a foundation of internal intelligence, strength, and mindful presence, supporting both physical and nervous-system well-being.
This class explores the basic tenets of the Ashtanga Yoga lineage. We will study postures (asana), breath work (pranayama) and all that makes this ancient lineage a complete system of yoga study.
This class studies the Ashtanga yoga system, during which we explore all 8 limbs of this ancient system. The physical practice (asana) includes postures that focus on physical stability and alignment while building stamina and endurance. Class also includes breath work (pranayama) and meditation.
Students explore thoughtfully selected postures to build safe, intelligent approaches to arm balances, hip openers, gentle inversions, and backbends, with modifications, props, and progressions always offered. Based on Forrest Yoga principles.
effort & ease
Effort + Ease begins with a steady practice designed to build strength, awaken the core, and create heat through intentional movement and breath. In the second half, the pace softens into complementary yin postures that invite release, mobility, and nervous system reset. A balanced practice that honors both challenge and surrender.
yin
Yin yoga is a slow-paced practice that targets the deep connective tissues in the body. Poses are typically held for extended periods, often ranging from one to five minutes or more. This style of yoga emphasizes relaxation and surrender, allowing practitioners to release tension and cultivate a sense of mindfulness.

At Slack Tide, we believe yoga should help you become more capable, more curious, and more informed about the body you live in.
Our teaching draws on traditional yoga, anatomy, movement mechanics and therapeutic techniques to help students develop strength, mobility, flexibility and a greater awareness of how they move.
We value precision over performance, curiosity over comparison and instruction that gives students the tools to make their own decisions.
Our studio is intentionally intimate because we believe meaningful teaching requires attention. We want to know our students, understand their needs and create an environment where they feel comfortable asking questions, exploring challenges and learning.
The community we've built matters deeply to us. But so does the quality of what happens in the room.
