At this time, yoga props will not be available at the studio.

For an optimal yoga experience, I suggest that you bring the following to class:

• A quality, non-slip Yoga mat – Absolutely necessary
• 2, 4” Yoga Blocks – Highly Encouraged. I prefer cork, but quality foam blocks are good as well.
• Blanket(s) – Encouraged if you have difficulty sitting comfortably on the floor. Also, blankets help with tender knees in lunging poses; and nice cover-ups for savasana.
• Yoga Strap – An optional, but lovely prop to assist with yoga stretches.

Yes, you will need to bring a quality, non-slip Yoga mat – Absolutely necessary!

It is highly encouraged to bring your own  4” Yoga Blocks, 2 of them. I prefer cork, but quality foam blocks are good as well.

Blocks will NOT be available at the studio. So bring your own so that you can get the optimal yoga experience!

A Yoga Strap is a strap that is used to assist you in the stretches. If you don’t need one, great! If you have one bring it. If you’d like to purchase one, check back here later and I’ll provide a link.

• Pants are necessary!    Yoga pants are not necessary.
• Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement, breathes, and feels good.
• I believe cotton is the best.
• In the cooler seasons, consider wearing layers for ultimate comfort.

All Levels Yoga Class

This class follows Hatha yoga and is designed for regularly-practicing beginners and intermediate students. The focus is to go beyond the physical elements of the asanas and move towards a deeper experience, which requires using the breath as an anchor and not struggling to hold a pose.  

Hatha yoga is not exercise, it is a spiritual practice designed to bring us into deep connection with our spiritual being and realize the essence of who we are. This class will include an hour of yoga asana followed by fifteen minutes of pranayama and meditation.

Foundations Class

This class also follows Hatha yoga style and is designed for those who are new to yoga or those who do not practice regularly. It involves holding poses to build strength, purify the mind and body, and build resiliency and deep connection to self. The foundations class is slow paced and will cover all the basic yoga asanas.

If you have not practiced recently, please start with the foundations class to allow your body to regain any lost flexibility and strength. Starting with foundations will allow you to work up to the advanced All Levels without the risk of injury.

Muscling into poses may work, but I have found that you cannot muscle your way into flexibility which requires a softening and a patience that cannot be cultivated, but which is sorely needed in all aspects of life.

Come to the foundations class to learn to balance strength, endurance and flexibility creating a much more fluid yoga experience.

I know that not all of my followers can afford the higher price, but I would like everyone to be able to learn from me and to be able to experience yoga deeply as I have. Those who value my sessions and have the resources to level up the cost to the value may do so and it would be greatly appreciated.

An Asana is a pose. Every pose in Yoga is an asana. So it’s just another word for pose.

Even if you can do most yoga poses, you may want to start at the foundations class to help improve your flexibility. In the All Levels class we will be settling into many of the poses for a good 5 – 10 breaths. This requires more flexibility and strength than simply moving into the pose. 

Starting at the foundations class will allow you to improve your flexibility and strength so that you can comfortably hold the poses and then advance to the All Levels class without the risk of injury. Muscling into poses may work, but I have found that you cannot muscle your way into flexibility which requires a softening and a patience that cannot be cultivated, but which is sorely needed in all aspects of life.
