WELCOME TO PENINSULA YOGA CLASSES

In classes expect to receive precise and guided instruction for postures that align the body and mind in harmonious movement. Postures - the asana - are adjusted through the use of props and supports to meet the needs of each individual. All classes include deep relaxation. Over time physical benefits are realized in postural improvement, increased strength, tone, flexibility and balance thus one also experiences relief from pain. The attention to precision brings focus and concentration allowing participants to release mental tension and learn how to better deal with the stress of daily life.

Please wear comfortable clothing to class and know that the practice of yoga requires bare feet so there will be no slipping.

Please do not eat a meal just before coming to class.

Please refrain from using perfumes and scented soaps as some people experience allergic reactions.
