We presently offer group classes at 1970 Surgi Dr in Mandeville, in Covington at Our Place Studio on the corner of Vermont & Gibson, at the YMCA in Covington and at First Baptist Church in Franklinton., as well as private prenatal yoga instruction. Our group classes are appropriate for beginners and for experienced students. We strive to keep our classes small, which allows us to meet the unique needs of each student more effectively. Props and adaptations within the postures are offered, as well as detailed instructions throughout the practice. We encourage our students to enjoy their yoga practice and to ask for help at any time. In our group classes, we offer asanas (postures), done both statically and dynamically, as well as linked together as vinyasa (a sequence of postures that flow together). Asanas are practiced with attention, not only on the movements and position of the body, but also on the breath. The purpose of practicing asanas is not to achieve a perfect form, but to benefit from the function of the postures and to find sthira and sukha (stability/focus and lightness/ease) in the practice of them.
We incorporate other aspects of yoga into our classes, including pranayama (conscious regulation of the breath), bhavana (visualization), sound, and dhyanam (meditation.) Every class ends with relaxation, allowing students a few minutes of rest and quiet repose before they move on to meet the rest of their day.
In addition to group classes, we offer prenatal yoga instruction (see private lessons). Private lessons are also available for all those interested in developing a personal practice to meet their unique needs and goals. Information about our Yoga Sutra study group may also be found below.
