Class Descriptions

The Joy of Gentle Yoga Class

Now on Zoom and in Person

Enjoy the many benefits of a yoga practice combining the use of the mat, a chair, and other supports, making more gentle postures accessible in a deep, safe and enjoyable way for every body.

Yoga works for the whole person... not just the body. Simple breathing techniques help to quiet the mind and bring relaxation, acceptance and peace. Personal awareness increases as we move our bodies and breathe, increasing mobility, strength, energy, balance, circulation and confidence.

Yoga helps the body you have, feel the best it can feel, and you feel good about it!

All levels welcome.

chair yoga

Chair yoga is for anyone who is not comfortable getting up and down from a mat for any reason. Gentle Yoga postures are modified to the chair to provide a safe and effective practice... always within your own comfort level.

Yoga helps the body you have, feel the best it can feel, and you feel good about it!

private classes

Private or semi-private classes are available.

A few private classes is a great way to get ready to join a class. Or therapeutic yoga can help with health issues. We work together to design a practice specifically for your needs.

Restorative Yoga

A deeply restful and healing practice, Restorative Yoga will soothe your soul, and help you to heal and feel better. Deep relaxation is good for everyone & highly recommended for stress and anxiety, recovery from surgery or chronic conditions, trauma (such as grief), and fatigue.

Comfortable supported postures, visualizations and breathwork all contribute towards enabling your body/mind to rebalance and become whole and healthy again.
