Yoga is an ancient and powerful system of transformation and self-realization that has enhanced millions of lives. People practice yoga for many reasons: improved flexibility or focus, strengthening or healing, weight loss, restoration or relaxation, greater connection to self and others, and an experience of inner peace, balance and well-being.
At the Center for Wellness and Integrative Medicine, we offer a variety of yoga classes to suit your personal ability, inspiration and desire. We also know that this can change from day to day. Our expert instructors ground their teaching in the lineages of Hatha Yoga, specifically the vinyasa (“flow”) and alignment styles of yoga. They pay special attention to proper breath, structural precision and movement. We offer a slow, gentle method in some classes, while others are taught in a more vigorous style.
