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.

YOGA BOOTCAMP - beginning in May
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!
Special attention is placed on developing core
strength and stability – involving a particular emphasis on
strengthening the back, abdomen and pelvic floor, as well as relieving
tension in areas such as the neck, shoulders and back.

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.

WHY MEDITATE?
Guided group meditation is a great way to quiet the mind, find inner calmness and clarity, and take some time out for you. Learn to discipline your mind and find the stillness that is around you always and then be able to tap into that stillness when needed.
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.
30 - 45 minute guided group meditation.
