We presently offer classes at 505 Gerard St. in Mandeville, We have group classes appropriate for both beginners and for experienced students and specialized classes, including prenatal yoga and yoga for children & teens and focused, therapeutic series. We also offer yoga therapy and private instruction for building a personal practice to achieve specific goals related to health, general wellbeing, advanced posture work, meditation, etc.
We strive to keep our group 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.)
