Integrated Hatha at The Yoga Ridge: Expand Your Practice Without Leaving Your Foundation

Curious what comes after 26+2? This summer at The Yoga Ridge, we’re introducing Integrated Hatha—a special 90-minute heated class designed to expand your practice while staying grounded in familiar structure. Taught on select Saturdays during Summer 2026 by Cody Geer, Integrated Hatha is an opportunity to explore new movement, challenge your body in different ways, and deepen your understanding of yoga without feeling like you’re starting over. If you love the clarity and consistency of Original Hot Yoga but sometimes wonder what else is possible, this class was built for that. Everybody and every body welcome. Breathe. Sweat. Focus.

What Is Integrated Hatha?

Integrated Hatha is a 90-minute, dialogue-based set series rooted in the Ghosh lineage. It builds directly from the Standard 26+2 sequence, incorporating the foundational postures students already know while introducing additional asana drawn from the traditional 84 postures. You may also notice a subtle Ashtanga influence in sequencing and flow. But this isn’t a free-flow class. And it isn’t leaving 26+2 behind. Integrated Hatha maintains the same intentional structure and operational command that students appreciate in Original Hot Yoga. Think of it as an extension—not a departure. The rhythm remains. The discipline remains. The challenge evolves.

What Makes Integrated Hatha Different?

Familiar Foundations

You’ll still recognize many of the postures and teaching style if you practice 26+2. Instruction is delivered with rhythm, cadence, and clarity so you can stay present instead of worrying about what comes next.

Expanded Possibilities

Integrated Hatha introduces additional movement patterns and opportunities to explore:

Arm balances
Strength-based postures
Deeper hip opening
Building core strength
Increased mobility challenges
Expanded body awareness

Each posture is introduced within a disciplined framework that values precision, repetition, and control over performance. There is no pressure to “achieve” a posture. The goal is exploration.

Why Students Love This Style of Practice

Integrated Hatha offers variety while keeping the predictability many students appreciate. For busy professionals, that means less decision fatigue. For athletes, it means balancing strength and mobility. For parents, it’s dedicated time to reconnect with yourself. For students recovering from old injuries or rebuilding confidence, it offers challenge with structure and modifications. And for long-time 26+2 practitioners? It can feel like rediscovering your practice. More yoga, less stress.

This is a very special place. The owner, Holly, genuinely cares about the success of her students and supports them in so many ways. She is one of the most kindhearted and sincere people I have ever met. She has also built an amazing team of instructors who truly care about yoga and the art form behind it. The studio is always kept very clean and welcoming. Whether you are brand new to yoga or trying one of the other classes they offer, you will get the support and encouragement you need to progress, challenge yourself, and become a better version of yourself. I’m very grateful to have found this place and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a welcoming, supportive, and inspiring studio.

I recently completed my 100th class here at the Yoga Ridge! I absolutely love the positive energy and enthusiastic instructors! There is always something new to learn and a growing variety of classes to select from. My yoga journey has given me the tools to take better care of myself from lowering cholesterol, adding an inch to my height and managing my weight and improving balance, mobility and strength. I personally enjoy the balance of hot yoga classes and then Yin to restore and reset. Can’t wait to try the new Hatha Yoga and Sculpt class soon!!! Hope to see you on the mat!!!

I tried my first hot yoga class with Holly today! It was phenomenal. I feel so rejuvenated! She is a wonderful host and so kind. I signed up for some more classes! Thank you, Holly!

I had to switch my yoga studio because I needed a schedule that worked better for me. I tried a couple of other places first, but ended up choosing this one. The studio is bright, has a nice vibe, and the instructors are professional and knowledgeable, which is important to me. I decided to get a membership and so far I’m happy with my choice. It’s still a new studio and they’re building their community, but I think they’re off to a great start.

The physical benefits of this practice improve my flexibility and have helped me regain joint mobility lost from personal injuries. Additionally, this practice incorporates focused breath work to calm the nervous system, thereby improving my mental health in class and outside the studio. I encourage anyone to try two weeks of classes at Yoga Ridge, attend any community events offered to help people improve their health, and/or become a member. The time and effort the instructors put into quality teaching is worthy of 5 stars. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I recently started attending hot yoga to try it out since I felt it was a pretty nice and low impact way to workout without going to the gym. I started coming because they have a new student membership where you get unlimited classes within a 2 week duration for only $60. I honestly really enjoy coming here. I’ve seen the improvements (mostly because I sometimes unintentionally do more advanced poses without knowledge lol) and I really think the instructors are amazing. Definitely try it out.

I cannot say enough good things about The Yoga Ridge. It had been about ten years since I’d taken a yoga class so at first I was a little nervous. The owners and teachers were immediately warm and welcoming. You can see how the owners have put their hearts into the studio and have thought out every detail to make classes a nice escape from the day to day grind. The cleanliness, education, atmosphere & compassion are top notch. The teachers are the best at guiding students in their poses. I came here looking for self care a few times a week and have found a supportive community. Having my lower back pain disappear as I’ve strengthened muscles has been a big bonus! Whether you’re looking to dip your toe in yoga or if you consider yourself a seasoned yogi this is the place to go.

So excited to have Yoga Ridge as part of our Ridgefield community. I was looking for a non judgmental studio to try yoga for the first time at and it is perfect! The people are great and I love the variety of classes. Instructors push me to grow while still supporting my comfort levels. I highly recommend!

This is a great new studio! The instructors are delightful and the class is amazing. I highly recommend if you are getting back into yoga or just wanted to expand your practice!
