The Art of Living Through Yoga

Yoga is a way of life that transforms the physical, mental and pranic body leading to change in the entire outlook of life. In yoga we practice being strong and steady with our breath, body, and mind. We use poses to go deeper within our body and our body to experience everything within ourselves. 

• Yoga is for every body.
• Yoga is your personal experience tailor made for your body.
• Yoga is about detoxing the body and mind to live a long, healthy life.
• Yoga is about finding balance and peace for well-being.
• Yoga is an inward practice.
• Yoga is a path to healing the mind, body, and spirit.
• Yoga is medicine.

Our goal is to share practices that promote connection, growth, healing, and discovery of the higher self through the self. We use yoga to turn inward, diving deep below the tissues to the essence of our being for self-realization, discovery, rejuvenation, and treatment. We draw on an array of yoga disciplines to tailor a practice that aligns with your needs and desires on and off the mat.

• Restorative
