It starts with loving nourishment to your own mind, body & breath. Develop healthy, holistic awareness to align with your personal goals. Increase your physical and emotional well-being, focus on fitness, deepen your yoga practice or awaken self-realization, all while having fun! We are an 'old school', independent boutique studio sticking to tradi... tional hatha practices. Yoga may seem exclusive, but our philosophy blends science and spirituality, free from dogma or religious belief. You can reset your emotions and nervous systems to counteract the stresses and responsibilities of everyday life. The true benefits of yoga start with, but go far beyond, the physical. You resonate and operate at a higher level in all aspects of life. Often an authentic inner alchemization will begin. Yoga classes are 90 minutes of traditional hatha yoga, with no music or heat. Classes are intentionally designed so no two are the same. You'll be inspired and taught in a lighthearted, easy-going way. Our emphasis is on maintaining mindful breathing while moving practically and responsibly through a series of complex exercises not on athleticism, flexibility or competition. Classes end with a light meditation, guided imagery relaxation, and the final position, shavasana. Explore a path that is personally enriching and transforming. Let it take you to your optimal health. Be well. We'll show you how to grow and sustain an effective practice that fits your unique and busy lifestyle.
