Ongoing Classes |
Classes marked in green and yellow are ongoing classes. Become a Member, and attend as many ongoing classes as you wish, free of charge. Or stay flexible, and pay at the door as a Drop-In, or as a 10-Class Card holder.
Our General Yoga Classes are a blend of Kripalu, Anahata, and other styles, with some Anusara principles included by some teachers. We recommend that students new to yoga consider taking our Introduction to Yoga, for a safe and comfortable transition to ongoing classes. We encourage students to explore and honor their bodies in every class.
Our All Levels Yoga and Morning Yoga classes are generally gentler and slower, and appropriate for any level of experience and ability. Intermediate Yoga is a slightly stronger class, which will assume a basic knowledge of yoga postures.

All Levels Yoga
|
|
Our All Levels Yoga classes are appropriate for anyone from beginner to the seasoned practitioner and provide a well rounded sequence of postures and techniques to energize, open and balance your body and mind. Open to drop-ins; no charge for Yoga Center members. |

Open Meditation
with Mark Schultz or Manny Muros |
|
Most major spiritual practices draw water from a single spring: we are all part of the great current of Life. But without giving ourselves a place of stillness, and without supporting that stillness with the company of others, we can quickly lose sight of that source, forgetting both our greatness and our humility. There are many simple practices we may use to remember.
Be welcome Sunday mornings to an ongoing meditation, a perfect balance to your physical practices, and a community in support of your healthy life. Members and non-members welcome; payment by donation ($5 suggested minimum)

LIM Yoga's gentle approach blends traditional poses with modifications and chair support.

The art of intimacy… Seeing and being seen… Sharing spiritual practice with another… Becoming one, becoming whole.
