BEGINNERS 5-WEEK Sessions
This class is especially designed for complete beginners. It is an excellent, structured way of getting to know the basics of Hatha Yoga. We will take you through the fundamentals of alignment and breathing which will come into immediate play in your everyday life. You will also learn and practice basic stretches, balancing poses, strengthening exercises and relaxation techniques.
You can begin to experience for yourself some of the benefits that can arise from practicing yoga such as increased flexibility, strength, cardiovascular and digestive health, as well as a sense of well-being and relaxed awareness.
Class sizes are limited so that you will receive lots of personal attention and can gain the skills and confidence to move into the ongoing classes when you are ready. Many students will take the beginners session over and over again for as long as they need to or want to before moving into the all-levels classes.

Yoga Mala Fall equinox event
Please join us for a celebration of the Fall Equinox with a "yoga mala" of 108 sun salutions on Friday, September 19th from 6-8:00 p.m. The ritual journey of a yoga mala is a moving prayer to initiate change, and is a profoundly transformative practice!
Do not be intimidated -- you don't have to be in super duper shape to participate. There are several options offered, and you can rest as you need to. This will be a great way to jumpstart your practice if it has lapsed a bit over the summer, or to take an ongoing practice to the next level. All levels are welcome.
Friday, September 19, 6-8:00 p.m

- Do you experience noticeable physical benefits? ie. back pain improved, an injury healed, you are sleeping better, or have lost weight?
- Do you experience more subtle benefits? ie. better relationships with family or co-workers, you feel more cheerful, you are using your breath to calm you down and deal with difficult situations, etc.
