You get a lot more than yoga when you come here. Personally I've gained 1/2 inch in height and severely reduced my sciatic pain. I thought I'd try yoga before going to a chiropractor or physical therapist and I'm glad I did. Not only is it a better deal but I can go on my schedule, in person or online. These classes are very relaxed while still working your body and getting results. The teachers will help to get you in the right position and tell you what your body is doing, sometimes they even sprinkle in a little comedy 😃 A truly judgement free zone - I've seen all ages, sizes, and genders, and I always leave with a happy yogi smile 🧘♀
Kat is an awesome teacher with decades of experience. Teachers give great verbal adjustments and hands-on on if you are comfortable. Beautiful space with outdoor covered classes in summer. I have done yoga all over the country, and it's difficult to find attention to the students at this high of a level. They focus on fundamentals and proper alignment, not just getting you to sweat.Great beginner classes available. Movement and mobility series to help with pain (Kat is a certified yoga therapist!). They also have aerial yoga classes now and personal training available now through Stealth Fitness. Definitely give it a try.
Have you ever felt sad about the state of your body? Have you ever felt broken not only because of your lack of flexibility but also the general malaise hanging over you like a cloud. I would highly recommend giving Kat and her teachers a visit. She told me that by the time I was 70 I would need help putting on my shoes if I didn't change my ways. Now I wake up fresh as a daisy and ready for anything life can throw at me! It's a fun establishment full of bright energy. Would recommend.
