Frequently asked questions

Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yuj meaning to yoke or unite. This is often interpreted as the union of self (body, mind, and spirit). This union is often achieved through asana (physical postures), Pranayama (breathing techniques) and meditation.

​"Anybody can breathe, therefore anybody can do yoga." TKV Desikachar We believe in making yoga accessible to every body. Yoga is not about the ability to touch your toes or achieve impressive postures. It's not simply what a pose looks like, but more about what the pose feels like. It's about the process of discovering what you are capable of through practice and the willingness to try. Our instructors take pride in making yoga accessible to all bodies, regardless of fitness level, flexibility, or age. We are all individuals with different capabilities, limitations and needs. We seek not to create a synchronized yoga class where everyone looks the same; but to see each individual meeting their body where it is.

Classes typically run for 1 hour unless otherwise noted. All classes begin with a few moments of centering which may include breathing techniques and meditation. This allows for you to arrive not just in body, but in mind as well; preparing you for the class ahead. After centering you will begin a series of poses that may increase in speed, depth or difficulty depending on the style of the class. All classes end with Savasana, a period of stillness and rest and each participant is encouraged to stay for the entirety of class.

​The short answer is yes. You will experience a change in your physical body. The trickier question is how you measure that change. Are you quantifying your change in inches, pounds, or increased strength, balance and flexibility? Start your practice and find out.
