Community
We are a diverse group that enjoys having a cup of coffee together after practice and supporting each other wherever we are in our yoga journeys or in our lives. New faces are always welcome!
Well-being
The ashtanga practice is a dynamic, meditative series of yoga postures (asanas) linked to breath. It offers deep cleansing, balancing and strengthening of both mind and body, and it teaches us self-acceptance, exploration, and discipline both on and off the mat.
Tradition
We practice traditional Mysore ashtanga, where practitioners receive personalized one-on-one guidance and assistance with their self-practice in a group setting. Classes are offered daily, and all are welcome regardless of age or ability.
