Sammy Veall teaches Vinyasa, Hatha and Hip Hop yoga at Yoga 213. Her classes are fun, loud and reflect her easy going happy nature and here is a list of some of the Hip Hop Yoga classes you get to choose from:

Hip Hop 1: A morning groove, with a gentle touch. Fluid vinyasa flow to wake you up, with a soundtrack to salute the sun. Soft beats help you move: Acoustic, electronic, reggae, with a mix of r’n’b. Tune in while you tune out. Bend. Stretch. Harness your practice. Let go.

Hip Hop 2: Make your move. Find your groove. Fluid vinyasa flow sees a strong collection of postures that become a sequence. And an abs session that’s going to hurt tomorrow. Because we can. Loud beats help you move: Biggie, Jay Z, Snoop Dogg. Acoustic, electronic, and reggae, tune in while you tune out. Flow. Breathe. Find freedom. Let go.

Chill Yoga: Don’t sweat what you don’t know. This is home base, a slow vinyasa flow that allows you to say hello. Reggae, acoustic, folk, old school r’n’b all create a relaxed backdrop. Breathe. Align. Learn the basics. Find your practice.

Home Base: A class that starts at home base. The perfect prep for Hip Hop and Chill classes, working with a foundational flow that is suitable for those that are new to yoga, and want to learn the basics. A quieter soundtrack, with lots of alignment, breath and insightful tips to a strong and free yoga practice.

Yin Yoga: Get low. A dark room where you learn to see yourself more clearly than ever before. Long, deep poses, down low on the mat utilizing seated or lying positions; opening the hips, lower back and spine, boosting flexibility and improving the mind. Soothing tunes will guide you through; Jon Hopkins, Bon Iver, Helios. Relax. Unwind. Move your body. Still your mind.
