WHY DO YOGA? The short answer is that yoga makes you feel better. Practicing the postures, breathing exercises and meditation makes you healthier in body, mind and spirit. Yoga lets you tune in, chill out, shape up -- all at the same time.
If you’ve been apprehensive about attending a yoga class because you’re afraid you won’t be able to bend into the shape of a pretzel, never fear! Yoga is a gentle, slow-moving exercise that helps to create awareness necessary to be in tune with your body. All that matters is that you do your personal best. Increased flexibility, profound relaxation, clarity of thought, and improved muscle tone and strength, as well as improved balance, coordination, concentration, and oxygen intake are all benefits of yoga practice.
Yoga is good for what ails you. Specifically, research shows that yoga helps manage or control anxiety, arthritis, asthma, back pain, blood pressure, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue, depression, diabetes, epilepsy, headaches, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, stress and other conditions and diseases.
What's more, yoga: Improves muscle tone, flexibility, strength and stamina
Reduces stress and tension
Boosts self esteem
Improves concentration and creativity
Lowers fat
Improves circulation
Stimulates the immune system
Creates sense of well being and calm

Katt's POWER YOGA
beginner/intermediate
is a form of Hatha Yoga. We start off by warming the body gradually and then move into a series of Sun Salutations. This method of yoga involves synchronizing the breath with progressive series of postures—a process producing internal heat and a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind.

YIN YANG YOGA
beginner
Do you find sitting for meditation uncomfortable and difficult? Or feel that while you'd like more balance and depth in both yoga and life, your asana practice often seems more focused on achievement and "advancement" than on gaining inner harmony and peace? OR do you just want to try a practice that aspires change in your physical, mental and emotional bodies?
Well, you're not alone. In fact, it was a similar feeling that led Katherine, to explore ways to achieve greater harmony in her body and to feel more at ease in it when she sat for meditation. The result is what is called "yin/yang yoga," which combines passive and active asanas with pranayama and meditation into what for her is a very deep, integrated and satisfying practice.
