Starts Sept 16th - Phinney Intro to Yoga - 4 Week Beginner Series
Build Strength, Confidence & Connection
Learning yoga for the first time can be exciting and a little intimidating—that’s normal. You’ll be supported every step of the way as you explore new movements & build awareness of your breath There’s no need to be flexible or to know all the poses—come with curiosity, an open mind, and a willingness to connect with your body in a new way.
Yoga is more than just stretching—it can help improve posture, increase flexibility, build strength, and support balance. It teaches you how to breathe with intention and move with awareness, helping to reduce stress and increase focus. A regular yoga practice can ease physical tension, calm the nervous system, and create space—physically and mentally—for more ease in daily life. Whether you’re here for your physical health, emotional well-being, or both, yoga offers lifelong tools to support your whole self.

More Information:
-
Hatha Yoga is an ancient practice that blends physical postures, breathwork, and meditation to support both physical and mental well-being. Throughout the Intro to Yoga Series, you’ll be introduced to the foundational practices commonly taught in Hatha Yoga.
While each person may experience the benefits differently, Hatha Yoga is generally known to strengthen and tone muscles, regulate metabolism, and promote relaxation. Regular practitioners often report increased energy, focus, and a sense of balance.
-
The level of challenge will vary from student to student. Yoga is a non-competitive practice, and we encourage you to focus on your own body and personal experience within each pose.
Our instructors are experienced in guiding beginners with varying fitness levels, limitations, and backgrounds. While general instruction will be given, teachers also offer modifications to suit individual needs.
-
Before class, please let your teacher know if you are pregnant, have any injuries, or have any other physical conditions that could affect your practice. Yoga should challenge you, but it should never cause pain. If you feel any pain during practice, stop immediately and inform your teacher, who can suggest modifications. If the modification doesn’t feel right, let your teacher know.
-
Help maintain a safe, healthy, and welcoming space by following these simple guidelines:
Sign in before class and arrive 10-15 minutes early. Please stay for the entire class.
Remove your shoes and turn off your cell phone before entering the studio. Unroll your mat quietly once inside.
Maintain good personal hygiene for class. Clean hands and feet are important, especially if using studio mats.
Avoid wearing perfumes or oils, as some students may be sensitive to them.
-
Class sizes typically range from 10 to 20 students.
Wear comfortable clothing that allows for movement but avoid loose or baggy clothing so that teachers can observe your alignment.
Props and mats are available for use at each studio. After class, please clean your mat with the provided cleaner and return props to their designated areas.
-
We encourage you to bring your own water bottle. Hydrate before and after class, but drink during class only if necessary.
