Welcome.
Yoga is for everyone. Yoga heals, detoxifies and exhilarates the body and mind with emphasis on movement, balance and intention. Yoga can reduce stress, control weight, relieve lower back pain and enhance focus. Classes will include pranayama (breathing exercises), asana (postures) and relaxation (meditative imagery) to align the body and free the mind. Ayurvedic (Science of Life) tips will be included in all classes.
Beginners will learn correct alignment to fold forward, bend backward, lengthen the side body and twist to cleanse. This class is open to beginners and beyond.
Yoga for Athletes will challenge individuals who are currently working out or practicing yoga. Sun Salutations will prepare the body for strengthening yoga postures. Moderate fitness level recommended.
Practicing Yoga and developing simple Ayurvedic habits can change your life today.
