Iyengar Yoga: Iyengar-style Yoga is the most common style of yoga practiced in the U.S. Characterized by the use of props (straps, blocks, blankets, etc.), this tradition focuses on precise alignment in the postures.

Iyengar Flow:Blending precise alignment with flowing movement.

Kids Yoga: Ages 5 to 7 years. This fun and engaging class explores yoga poses, breathing and relaxation exercises and convey lessons in self-expression, body-awareness, and social skills. Non-competitive and fun, students develop strength, flexibility, concentration and confidence.
