You can find some classes that are gentle and relaxing, and a number of yoga classes that are more challenging, incorporating more in-depth techniques, and also a few powerful strength and heat-building vinyasa based yoga classes.
All of our classes are comprised of traditional hatha yoga postures and breath awareness techniques which help to develop present-moment mindfulness and facilitate deep relaxation. We encourage you to discover the joy in your practice and how to integrate this sense of peacefulness into your life .
Yoga is a scientific, systematic and time-tested practice which will bring physical, mental and spiritual benefits to anyone who approaches it with awareness, patience, compassion and consistency. Yoga is not just for the fit or flexible- if you can breathe, you can do yoga.
Above all, we recognize that yoga is not about being perfect, but about developing awareness. Yoga is not about competition with anyone, including ourselves, but about becoming more compassionate and open to all of our experiences. We are learning to let go of limitations; fears and expectations and judgements. We can clean out the attic, so to speak, of the "mind junk" which covers up our inner nature, which is boundless, unconditional and at ease.
All of this takes time of course, and lots of practice. Fortunately, this practice of yoga on the mat becomes the practice of living off the mat, and that moving inward will eventually bring us into direct contact with the world outside of us.
