YOGA IS FOR EVERYBODY AND EVERY BODY.
One of the hardest things about trying yoga for the first time is getting over the fear of whether you’ll fit in or not… or wondering whether you’ll be able to do the poses and keep up, especially if you’re not in the best of shape. Our community is super-friendly, supportive, and non-competitive. Our students range in age from 18- 65 and come in all shapes, sizes and fitness levels. You’ll find our studio to be a very comfortable place to be yourself, enjoy your practice, and have fun. You’ll learn how to use yoga to not only strengthen your arms and stretch your hamstrings, but also to balance your mood, cope with grief or anger, find your center, and move with more ease and grace through your daily life.THE KEY THAT UNLOCKS THE DOOR TO INNER PEACE AND HAPPINESS.
Through conscious movement, students open and strengthen every part of
their body. Through breath and mindfulness practices, students calm their
mind and empower their spirit. The result? Inner peace, happiness and ease
in the way you experience life.
One study found that a consistent yoga practice improved depression and led
to a significant increase in serotonin levels. Students enjoy greater
levels of energy, joy, and a better immune function with all the fun poses
we do.
From improved strength, flexibility, balance, and deeper sleep to releasing
tension in your body and mind, yoga can both prevent disease and help you
recover from it.
LOVE YOURSELF AS YOU ARE AND ENJOY THE PRESENT MOMENT.
Yoga is the perfect opportunity to be curious and explore who you are. It's
not about touching your toes; it's what you learn on the way down. Yogis
learn to be flexible and balanced in their body and mind, as well as
accepting of themselves and others.
An important component of yoga is focusing on the present. Studies have
found that regular yoga practice improves coordination, reaction time,
memory, and even IQ scores.
Everyone has a monkey mind, always jumping from thought to thought to
thought. Yoga encourages you to relax, slow your breath, and enjoy the
present moment during your practice and in everything you do in life,
thereby helping you to enjoy life to the fullest.
BREATHE OUT STRESS AND BREATHE IN OPTIMAL HEALTH AND HARMONY.
Yoga reduces the fluctuations of the mind. It slows down the mental loops
of frustration, regret, anger, fear, and desire that can cause stress.
Since stress tends to cause so many health problems, if you learn to quiet
your mind, you're more likely to live longer and healthier.
Yoga poses help to balance the two parts of our nervous system, the
fight-or-flight response and the relaxation response. The latter is calming
and restorative; it lowers breathing and heart rates, decreases blood
pressure, and increases blood flow.
A regular yoga practice gets you moving and burns calories, and the
spiritual and emotional parts of your practice may encourage you to deal
with any food and weight problems on a deeper level. It may also inspire
you to become a more conscious eater.
