The literal meaning of the Sanskrit word "yoga" is to add, join or unite. At Yoga, we believe that yoga is a wonderful way to connect to ourselves, to the present mment, and to each other! Through the physical discipline of movement, meditation, and breath control, yoga provides many physical, mental and spiritual benefits. It is a complete mind-body practice.

We do provide hands-on assists during class. An assist can help your alignment in a yoga pose but it doesn't mean that you are doing it wrong. You may get an assist to help you go a little deeper than you can go on your own, to stabilize you in a pose, or to make the pose easier by taking some of the weight off of you. If you do not want to be assisted please let your instructor know. We totally respect your space.

Om is said to be the sound of all creation. It contains all other sounds, all words, all languages and all mantras. Om is said to be without beginning or end and it embraces everything that exists. The three letters AUM represent creation, preservation and liberation. Chanting Om elevates our consciousness, unifies the energy in the room, and symbolizes our connection to all that there is.

Some other etiquette and guidelines:Please arrive a few minutes early to set up. Silence your phone and leave it in your cubby with your other belongings. Introduce yourself to the teacher if you are new and let them know if you have an injury, if you are pregnant, or have any specific needs. If you are late, wait until you see students moving before you walk into the room and get settled. Many of our classes start with a brief meditation, setting an intention, or a moment of silence and reflection. We would rather have you there late than not all but it's important to be respectful of others and not interrupt this portion of the class. Our front door does lock 10 minutes after class begins. We recommend not eating or drinking too much before your classWe have 2 bathrooms and 1 shower should you need to use it.
