What is Yoga

Yoga is a conscious union of the body, breath and mind to cultivate physical and mental wellness. Yoga is not meant to detract from any personal belief system, but rather to enhance that individual sense of self in connection with others.

Should I eat before Yoga Class?

It is best not to eat at least 2-3 hours before practicing yoga. If you need a light snack, try nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. Avoid anything spicey, oily, or acidic.

Can anybody practice yoga?

The short answer is yes! However, the reality is that not every yoga practice is appropriate for every person. Please read the descriptions for each class before signing up. Also, please note that instructors are very mindful about addressing any physical limitations you might have in a particular class. Instructors will also help advise you as to what classes may be appropriate for your skill/interest level.

More specifically, Yoga can be used successfully with conditions such as addictions, anger management, asthma, back problems, chronic pain, digestion, insomnia, poor circulation, mood disorders and weight loss — just to name a few.
