What is Yoga?
Yoga is a practice of postures using the breath as the primary tool. Deep breathing with awareness is the foundation of any yoga class and will help cleanse and detoxify the body as well as invigorate the body with energy (/prana/) for the duration of the class. Most classes have an opening centering of the mind, a warm up phase, a sequence of standing and seated postures and then a final relaxation with meditation cool-down.
I have never done yoga before and I am extremely inflexible, is it for me?
Most definitely! Yoga is about the balance of strength and flexibility. At first you will notice increased strength through your whole body. With time you will begin to notice the openness and elasticity within the body that evolves with continuous practice.
What do I need to bring?
We supply mats for you, but feel free to bring your own if you would like! Wear loose fitting pants or shorts and a comfortable T-shirt or tank top, with perhaps another layered long-sleeved shirt on top. Classes are done barefoot. Bring a water bottle, and we supply fresh purified water!
How often should I practice Yoga?
Every individual needs to tune in to their own body and do what feels right for them. Ultimately practicing daily, even if just for a few minutes will help relieve stress, focus the mind and heal the body systems. Coming once or twice a week to a private or semi private class will give you the personal attention you need as you learn the poses and ensure the completion of a full-long practice. Additionally, practicing on your own for another 2-3 times a week is a great way to enhance your practice.
Why is Yoga referred to as a practice and not an exercise routine?
During Yoga our focus is the breath and tuning into our bodies as we release the mind and the ego. As opposed to exercise which tends to have a very “GO” and “PUSH” mentality, Yoga is about finding your personal edge, where the breath can maintain fluidity, where the mind can stay focused and where you begin to realize there is no “Ultimate Goal” or “End Point” to Yoga. Every day of a yoga practice may be different. There are days we feel stronger and more balanced and other days where we need to ease off through the poses and only go as far as our bodies are telling us to go. Learning to dial in is what the practice is about.
What other benefits can I look forward to from My Yoga Practice?
You will find that your digestive health increases as so many of the postures work on the digestive system. You will find enhanced clarity, confidence and focus throughout your day. Also expect enhanced sleep at night and better overall mood.

You Decide with our Certified Yoga Instructor whether you are looking to build upper body strength, spinal strengthening, core strength or enhanced meditation and relaxation.
