Yoga for Well-Being

This multi-level class is designed for anyone familiar with the basic foundations of yoga, regardless of body type, age, fitness, or activity level. Drawing on the guiding principles of yoga and the Kripalu tradition of compassion, it honors the roots of yogic self-inquiry while respecting each participant’s body-wisdom and unique expression.

Classes incorporate:

• Classic yoga postures (asanas)

• Breath work (pranayama)

• Practices for cultivating a quiet mind (meditation)

• Deep relaxation techniques

Although physical exercises and movement are very important for strength, balance and flexibility, Yoga is not about perfect poses or precise alignment of toes, hips, or shoulders. It is an invitation to explore, with curiosity, your own experience—discovering what you need, and mindfully uncovering what brings joy into daily life. A well-balanced practice nurtures the whole person, aligning with the five koshas (body layers) described in yogic and Ayurvedic traditions: physical, energetic, mental, wisdom, and bliss bodies.

The series is offered in small, supportive groups. Each program runs for a set number of weeks, determined by the calendar, and is available both in-person at the studio and online from the comfort of your home.

If you are new to yoga, a one-on-one session with Jo-Ann is recommended to help you feel comfortable with foundational movements and breathing practices.
