Physical postures, breathing techniques, deep relaxation and meditation are used to cultivate the many benefits of yoga – including strength, flexibility, calm and overall well-being.
The physical practice of postures balances both an emphasis on core stability techniques and safe alignment with the importance of not only liberating deeply held tensions, but of discovering how the practice of yoga can bring a greater sense of wholeness and balance to every aspect of one's life.
Classes include: Pranayama – yogic breathing, Asanas – proper postures, relaxation techniques and meditation (including yoga nidra) – and are all led with the understanding that yoga is a practice not of acquiring, but of uncovering Oneness.

Yoga I
Our level one classes are appropriate for most ages, body types, & experience levels. In our level one classes our instruction focuses on body alignment & development of strength and body awareness within each student. These classes can be moderately challenging even for an advanced practitioner.
Mixed Level Yoga I/II
Yoga I/II classes are faster paced and assume a deeper understanding of the foundational asana. In our I/II classes we begin to explore setting up more advanced asana including headstands and arm balances while developing the strength and body awareness to safely execute these more advanced asanas.
"Power Yoga" Yoga II
Our Power Yoga classes represent a mixture of different styles. These classes move quickly and are physically demanding. Students taking a "Power Yoga" class should either have an athletic background or have an understanding of body alignment in hatha yoga postures and heightened body awareness & strength. Some prior yoga experience is required.
