Yoga provides many benefits to your body, mind and spirit. It connects mind and body through a series of postures, breathing exercises and meditation. This connection produces unity, and can improve your health by reducing stress and creating a greater sense of well-being.

Your body feels better because when you practice yoga, your body becomes toned, flexible and stronger.  Although you don’t have to be able to touch your toes to enjoy our classes, yoga improves athletic performance.

Research has shown that yoga:

• Improves respiration, energy and vitality.
• Promotes cardiovascular and circulatory health.
• May also help alleviate specific kinds of pain, including migraine headaches, lower back problems, arthritis and pain during childbirth.

Your mind becomes more at ease because yoga teaches you how to center your awareness in your body. You feel less stressed, more positive and self-accepting.

Yoga builds awareness of your body, your feelings, the world around you and the needs of others. Most students leave class smiling and feeling relaxed and happy!

Most yoga styles fall into the general category of Hatha Yoga. Hatha Yoga is a system of yoga which dates back to Yogi Swatmarama, who lived in the 15th century in India. The aim of Hatha Yoga is to create greater balance between body and mind, to free the flow of the life force in the body, and ultimately, to prepare body and mind for more subtle spiritual experiences of meditation.

A Hatha yoga practice includes yoga asanas, yoga postures designed to improve health and remove imbalances, and Pranayama, traditional breathing exercises to help bring greater peace to the mind and the subtle body.

We are currently offering the following Hatha Yoga classes:
