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

YOGA BOOTCAMP - beginning in May
Get ready for summer!! Here it is, bootcamp yoga. It is a two hour class, once per week to sculpt every part of your body including those abs. A whole body workout with the powerful dynamics of yoga. We start the first 2-3 weeks focusing on building the solid foundation of strength, flexibility, and always always, *form form form* over depth. Form is 100%. Once you have the form, the strength and flexibility will soon follow. You may not even be able to do one modified(ladies style) push-up the first day, but if you keep doing your homework and keep trying with a positive attitude, you will be amazed how quickly you will build the strength. Give it a try, your body, mind and soul will thank you!!
YO-BABE
For mommy and baby! The focus of the class is on movements and breathing specifically
tailored for new moms. The babies benefit from the bonding time with
mom, baby massages and the stimulating environment of new baby friends!

strengthening the back, abdomen and pelvic floor, as well as relieving
tension in areas such as the neck, shoulders and back.

classes are a great way to transition back to their pre-pregnancy
practice.

YIN YANG YOGA
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.

DateNite YOGA
Most couples don’t have a lot of downtime and most schedules don’t allow for much breathing room or quality time to spend with each other. Make every Friday night "your date night."It’s about taking time to connect with each other, and help each other in poses, as well. It’s about being completely present with each other. The practice of couples can facilitate a deeper and more meaningful exchange, and includes improved flexibility, balance, strength, and energy. Plus, yoga helps relieve stress, enhance mental focus, and boost self-awareness. The biggest benefit is that people learn to breathe again, when we’re stressed, we breathe high in the chest. By learning to breathe deeply, we bring the benefits of yoga into our daily lives.

Whether your goal is enlightenment, revelation, relaxation, simple clarity or low blood pressure, the process of mediation puts you in touch with something good and quietly profound.
