  Why Yoga?
  Hatha yoga uses physical postures, controlled breathing, relaxation and meditation to balance mind and body. Yoga helps build flexibility and strength, improve range of movement, promote circulation, and decrease tension. People who practice yoga often find yoga generates a sense of inner peace and well being.

In our classes we adapt yoga practice for practitioners who are elderly or physically challenged. Classes generally start with centering; we take time to get settled and focus on our breathing. From there we move to physical postures. Depending on the type of class, postures may be done standing, sitting in a wheelchair, lying on the floor, or any combination of these. After doing physical postures, we will do some breathwork. Every class ends with a period for relaxation.

Yoga can be adapted to suit every individual's needs. It is our belief that everyone can practice yoga. We offer a range of classes as well as private lessons so that people can work at a level that is appropriate for their body.
