  • Introductory Course

    Eight Sundays, February 5 – March 25, 12:30 - 2:00pm


    With Keri Lee


    For students new to yoga or new to the Iyengar method, this course introduces the basic poses, principles of movement and posture, yoga philosophy and simple relaxation techniques. In Iyengar yoga, weak parts are strengthened and stiff parts are stretched, thus awakening and realigning the whole body. Benefits include increased vitality and the reduction of stress and anxiety.

  • Prenatal

    with Diane Gysbers



    “The child in the womb is the product of the living thought of the mother throughout her pregnancy. The healthy body and the healthy mind of the would-be mother provide the fertile soil for the physical, mental and spiritual growth of the child.


    It is my conviction that Yoga helps a mother in delivering a robust and healthy child. It keeps her body trim and lessens the tension in her nerves and mind by teaching her the art of relaxation.”
    - BKS Iyengar

  • Kids

    with Koren Paalman



    Come Play! We will be learning yoga asanas (postures) for children in a supportive, inclusive, energetic, positive and creative environment. Together we will bring out the natural yogi that exists within each of us! Moving and breathing consciously through asanas helps kids increase self-awareness and self-confidence. Through yoga games, stories and the safe progressive approach of the Iyengar method, participants will explore their own unique moving and thinking bodies.
