This is a difficult answer because I donโt necessarily have a favorite. I really see the value in each different style. However, I primarily practice Hatha with a Ta**ra approach.

I studied three different approaches of yoga (Iyengar, Bhakti, and Kaula Ta**ra) and the beauty of studying these different practices really allows me to see the truth that can be found in all different practices/beliefs for different people and what they may be resonating with in the current moment.

Every one of us has our own unique story that comes with our body, mind, heart, and even breath. For me, yoga isnโt about achieving anything. Itโs about meeting all four of these where theyโre at, and connecting to something deeper so I can have a more loving relationship with myself, which then projects out into the world. I deeply believe yoga is for everyone, because you get to choose how you want it to be.

Summer 6-week Beginner Yoga Series w/ Jerilyn STARTS FRIDAY, JULY 17th @ 4PM.
While each class builds on the first, we also welcome drop ins. Our Beginner Classes are INCLUDED WITH MEMBERSHIP! Try our Intro Month Only $45, or sign up for the series or individual class pass drop in. See you on your mat!
This series will start from square one. As such, it is ideal for those who have never practiced yoga even if you donโt even know what yoga is. Perhaps itโs been so long since practicing yoga that you might as well be a raw beginner. This class is ideal for you too! This is the perfect class for those with no experience, those who have been out of yoga for a long, long time, or those whoโs bodies need some extra care in building your practice. Our pace will be slow and build from the ground up.

If you've always had difficulty getting into yoga because the class doesn't address your beginner needs or you're having a tough time sometimes in yoga classes that move too fast rather than breaking down and helping you learn what you need to learn, then this may be the class for you. If you instead, find yourself a little too beginner-ish for an all levels class, but not a raw beginner, you may find one of our Continuing Beginner Series (Beginner II) more to your speed.
We offer you expert instruction for stress management, joint care, core strength, safe stretching, balance techniques, and confident movement. These classes designed for all levels of experience in a relaxed, judgment-free environment and will help you explore yoga beyond poses. This is where you learn foundational practices and the language of yoga.
