Class Descriptions
At New Moon, we celebrate mindful, nurturing movement as the core of our practice. There is a flow for every body, every mood and every moment. We move with intention, breathe deeply, and connect with our community. From strength-building flows to restorative practices, every class is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and find your own rhythm.
Flow
Our Flow classes offer a welcoming space to explore movement and breath at a thoughtful, accessible pace. Taught by a variety of instructors with backgrounds in Vinyasa, Hatha, Vini Yoga and more, each class incorporates intentional sequencing that allows time for discovery and deepening in the poses. Flow is great for most levels, giving space to move mindfully, build strength, and connect with your practice in a way that feels right for you.
Gentle Flow
Our Gentle Flow classes are designed to nurture your body and calm your mind.

Perfect for all levels, Gentle Flow is an excellent space to reconnect with your breath, explore poses safely, and find a sense of balance and restoration on the mat.
Slow Flow
Our Slow Flow bridges the gap between Gentle Flow and our more dynamic classes.

Poses are held for several minutes, allowing for gentle release, increased flexibility, and a sense of inner calm. This practice encourages stillness, mindfulness, and deep relaxation, making it ideal for all levels and anyone looking to restore balance and ease in both body & mind.
Renew & Restore

PreNatal Yoga at New Moon
At New Moon Yoga, we believe in the power of community - especially for moms-to-be. That’s why we are proud to offer prenatal yoga classes led by Lindsey Grippo, a Certified Mental Health Therapist, and Doula.
Lindsey’s classes are designed to be safe, welcoming, and supportive for both expectant and new mothers. Through gentle movement, mindful stretching, and targeted poses, you’ll strengthen and ground your body while preparing your pelvic floor to both support and release during birth.
Each class also incorporates meditation and breathwork to calm the nervous system, build confidence in your amazing body, and deepen the connection with your baby. Beyond the physical practice, these classes create a space for connection and community, so you can move, breathe, and share the journey with fellow mamas in Franklin.

I have practiced LYT yoga since Rhonda introduced it to our class 5 years ago. LYT has made me stronger than I have ever been. It has taught me how to use my body in proper alignment to keep me safe in all my practices! Rhonda is an amazing teacher! Her cuing is genius!

I've taken a lot of yoga classes over the years & Holly's class comes the closest to giving me a feeling of serenity that is at the heart of yoga. She leads us through challenging asanas by building step by step to the peak pose. But her focus on breath work and her calm demeanor leave me with a feeling of peace that I don't get from other more vigorous classes. Holly is a welcoming and gifted teacher.
