Yoga is for Every Body
The beauty of a yoga practice is that it is a solo sport - not a competition. A yoga practice is personal, it is a way to slow down and be in touch with yourself. Notice your breath, notice how your body feels. The physical practice of yoga is just the beginning of an optional exploration for all that the broader definition of yoga offers. |

Practicing yoga in a group setting is a great way to get started and be part of a community of like-minded people. |
At Home No time to get to a class? Practicing yoga at home is a fantastic way to give yourself some love. If you are new, start with a small goal of may 10-20 minutes a day. Create a space that you like - a quiet corner, candlelight, a lovely scent, create a space that invites you to your mat. Once on your mat, just do what feels good, a 10 minute child's pose? great! Maybe get started by finding a short beginner series of poses online that you can follow. Sometimes having a routine to follow helps! A slow and steady practice does wonders! |
Private Instruction Private instruction provides the benefits of specialized attention that can be focused on your specific yoga goals. Meeting individually or with a small group is a great way to enhance your yoga practice or learn to get comfortable before heading to a yoga class. |
