This introduction to Classical Hatha Yoga meets Saturdays from 9-10:15 am.

“Strength without rigidity” is the focus of the class.

Training begins by developing a mastery of Surya Namaskar (Sun Salutation). The Pranayama (breathing practices) portion of the series includes Kapalabhati and Sectional Breathing.

Asana (posture) training proceeds according to the needs and comfort level of the student. The goal is to provide each student with a foundation, so that they may conduct their own home practice.

Beginner's Yoga....a journey on the mat from the foundation up.

Join yoga teacher, Ray Lewis for a 5-week series where you will be taught the basics of a yoga practice. Learn the forms of yoga, the principles of alignment, yoga poses and how to playfully engage the body in a step-by-step manner to a new and dynamic experience on the mat. Designed for those new to yoga and anyone who wants to deepen their understanding of yoga.

We are not a non-profit, but appreciate donations to keep up the space and level of instruction. Many thanks for your generosity.

Attend this mini workshop to learn the basics, strengthen & tone your core, or aid you during our Survive the Season Weight Loss Challenge.

Vinyasa is a fluid style of Hatha Yoga which combines elements of Ashtanga and Iyengar yoga in an inspiring, heat producing workout. The practice integrates breath and movement, awareness and alignment, strength and flexibility. Join us as we rock out to some bad ass music and practice our warrior poses, arm balances, pushups, jump thrus, squats and bindings. Students should arrive with some yoga experience, and we'll crank up the intensity with core strength work and multiple rounds of sun salutes.

Join guest teacher, Sydney Gressel, for the following dates and class times:

Weight loss isn’t just about calories in and calories out. It’s also about finding optimal balance in the body so it works most efficiently! Yoga can help us do this by activating our internal heat and strengthening the liver so your body eliminates the bad fats and utilizes the good, balancing the endocrine system to boost your metabolism, soothing your nervous system and cleansing the body from the inside-out! ALL LEVELS ARE WELCOME.

Chronic low back pain? Hip pain? S-I Joint pain? Digestive problems or constipation? Exaggerated lumbar lordosis or sway back? Unequal leg length?

A tight psoas muscle could be the culprit!

Join Scotta for a mini workshop to learn more about your psoas muscle, how it works, muscular imbalances and some simple techniques to release this deep and important muscle.

The average person gains about 2.2 pounds per year with 80% of it occurring during the holiday season. This shouldn’t be surprising. Starting with the candy overload of Halloween and ending with the drink-fest of New Year’s Eve, these holiday months are full of feasts, shorter days and cooler temps. It seems impossible to NOT gain weight during the holiday season.

And that is why we want to challenge you to LOSE weight during the holidays, competing with friends and area participants!
