Words from our incredible teacher Keri:
“✨Somatic Awakening✨
I am absolutely delighted and deeply humbled by the excitement and energy around my new offering of Somatic Awakening!!
A class that weaves together:
🕯Yin yoga,
🌬Prema Breathwork, and
🧘🏽Meditation
Somatic Awakening is a practice designed to help you awaken and align, by gently inviting you to explore your somatic edges. Helping you move through any areas of internal blocks, mental tension, somatic tightness, or emotional stagnation that may be stuck in your Body, Mind, Heart, or Spirit.
This class helps you awaken somatically, providing insight into the different patterns of thoughts, feelings, beliefs, or behaviors that are no longer serving the evolution of your being.
My workshop at Yoga Pod this Sunday is already SOLD OUT!!
And the wait list continues to grow.
✨✨✨✨

Class Styles
Our schedule of classes includes a little something for everyone. From never stepping on a yoga mat to being an instructor-in-training, to loving the powerful flow and feeling the fitness burn, Yoga Pod has a class to suit your needs. Most of our classes are one hour, but we do have some 45 and 75 minute offerings. Beginners can start in FLOW 1, FIT, HOT or HOT45.

podBASICS provides tools and techniques necessary to build a safe and sustainable yoga practice and offers an opportunity for beginners to create a solid foundation. Class moves at a slow pace, allowing students time to explore alignment and fundamental aspects of the postures. Instruction and demonstration of proper body mechanics are provided as well as how to utilize props for support. Classes are set to 80 degrees with no added humidity.
podFLOW 1 is ideal for all yogis who are ready to start their yoga journey. It is a great class that focuses on setting an intention and then working through postures and sequences that increase flexibility and build strength all while challenging you along the way. The room temperature is set to 80 degrees with no added humidity.
Non-Heated podFLOW 2 classes, set to music, are dynamic and accessible, offering more challenging postures and variations based on the fundamentals of the podFLOW 1 classes. Teachers bring their own creative element to podFLOW 2, resulting in diverse and inspiring classes. Each class focuses on proper alignment techniques and safe and intelligent sequencing progressions. Classes are set to 80 degrees with no added humidity.
podFLOW 2 is a more intermediate or advanced level yoga class that builds on the sequence initiated in podFLOW 1. We kick it up a notch by adding heat, humidity, and challenge. The detoxification element of podFLOW 2 is unbeatable and the movement into flow provides a deep sense of presence. The room temperature is set to 95 degrees with 40 percent humidity.
Maybe you can’t get enough of the Florida heat and humidity, so you want to find a more direct route to sweat. We love sweat and highly encourage it during podHOT. This is another class for students of all levels and beginners. The room temperature is set to 105 degrees with 60 percent humidity! It’s hot. It’s humid. It’s yoga. It’s what we love and crave. Don’t forget your towel and water — you’ll definitely need them.
Check out our 60 minute classes or try our new podHOT Express 45 minute class; a perfect double after an APEX or podFIT Express class. Expect an expanded floor series to ensure a full-body experience. A towel is required and water is highly recommended. Please come to class well hydrated.


If you’re ready to switch up your routine and support your life with more fitness, you can kick up your practice a notch with a 45 minute podFIT Express class. Engage your core and use all muscle groups as you move through cardio and bodyweight exercises mixed with resistance training. This class doesn’t involve yoga, but that’s why we like it! It mixes up your routine to energize your body, build strength, and increase core stability… three things that will help accelerate change in your body. podFIT Express is definitely a fitness-focused class. So if you’re ready for a more laid-back yogic atmosphere, check out the next class. The room temperature is set to 85 degrees with 30 percent humidity.
Ready for flow, pumping music, and a fun yoga environment? You will love this class where the movements come alive. Feel the flow in Sweat, Heat, & Beatz. It’s a class that focuses more on flowing through the poses yet to decidedly “unyogic” music. Other classes help perfect alignment, but Sweat, Heat, & Beatz brings together all levels in a room where people can move to their own beat. We pump the heat and the music, take it back a notch on the cues and the verbiage, and let students zone in on their own meditative flow through the class. The room temperature is set to 95 degrees with 40 percent humidity.


Finally, students may be interested in a more relaxing class that helps increase joint mobility and improve flexibility. YIN classes offer just that for students of all levels. This class is relaxing, but the results are achieved through moderate intensity through long holds. Our teachers guide students to hold postures passively for 2-5 minutes in order to give the body time to ease into the new areas of flexibility and mobility; this gently stresses connective tissues (tendons, ligaments, and fascia). Your body will work hard to let go of its normal tension patterns, so we set the room at a comfortable 80 degrees, keep the music soft, and the lights down low.
If there’s anything you take away from these class descriptions, let it be that we LOVE beginners and provide a platform for all students, from first time to advanced. We invite anyone and everyone to come by the studio to experience Yoga Pod. That’s the best way to see what we’re all about.
