a member’s perspective

“Yoga is new to me, but, but I walked into this class, took it slow, and began to understand what it's all about.”
“The room had a nice, warm, inviting vibe. It felt good to be quiet, and kind of escape the outside world. Then came pranayama, a calm and easy breathing exercise that made me feel centered.”
"We worked through poses that pushed more than just my body, there were points I thought ‘I can’t hold this any longer,’ but the instructor was always there to guide and encourage.”
"Towards the end, we bliss out with passive poses before ending everything lying completely still, eyes shut, on the mat. For hours after class I felt super connected and centered.”

Good to know

You’ve gotta start somewhere

Yoga is for everyone, and there are classes and styles suitable for all levels. Don't be intimidated; it's about progress, not perfection.

ommmm

Said aloud in a light, humming tone, ‘om’ is believed to be the origin of all sound, the pure sound of the universe. 

embrace modifications

Yoga poses can be modified to accommodate your body's abilities and limitations. This is a place for self-care, not self-judgment.

“This class moves at a slower pace and the attention to detail let me settle in and get familiar with each posture. It was challenging, but comfortable.”
