Beginning yoga classes can be worrisome for those who do not know what to expect, are recovering from previous injuries, or are starting later in life. We are here to ease your  concerns by providing a variety of options with slow and methodical approaches to yoga.

1. Introduction to Yoga courses.Click Here to read about and schedule Intro To Yoga sessions.  Introductory concepts in yoga are proper breathing, physical alignment, benefits of specific postures, and bringing the mind’s focus inward. There are several options for those brand new to yoga. These courses are not without challenge, but they introduce the challenge slowly! We most highly recommend taking one of our Intro to Yoga Courses if you are brand new to yoga postures.

Beginner classes might feel very different depending upon the instructor’s background. Some classes like Beginner Vinyasa classes will focus more on flowing movements between postures, while anusara-inspired Beginner classes will focus primarily on proper alignment, while traditional hatha will emphasize the meditative aspects of yoga. Each tradition of beginner classes will emphasize different core concepts. We encourage you to try them all and you will know by how you feel which class is the right fit for you.
