Yoga Basics

Let yoga take you on a journey inside your body, mind and spirit. Develop fundamental strength, flexibility, body awareness, alignment and correct posture through a physical practice of asanas (postures). Replace stress and anxiety with calm, serenity and self-control using breath awareness and coordinating breath with movement. I teach the basics: how your body works; how to let your body work for you; how to breath; how to relax; how to live with intention - essential health. Flexible muscles are not a pre-requisite. A flexible mind is.

Attending your first class?

¬ Refrain from eating at least one hour prior to class.
¬ Arrive at class about ten minutes prior to the scheduled start time. You will be asked to fill out a short waiver when you check in.
¬ Let the teacher know you are a new student and if you have any special physical circumstances or injuries.
¬ Wear comfortable clothing that will allow the teacher to see the alignment of your body in the asanas. All classes are done barefoot.
¬ Bring a non-slip “sticky” mat, a belt or strap (available for purchase at The Happy Yogi) and two thick blankets.
¬ Water during class is optional, but be sure to drink plenty before and afterward.
¬ Let the teacher know if you are pregnant. Consult your doctor prior to attending a class.
