Please phone ahead to be sure there is an open space, and plan on arriving a few minutes early for basic instruction before your first class.

Intermediate Internal Yoga: A more focused class with deeper stretching and moving meditation, still allowing you to participate at your level of ability. This class focuses on growing in the ability to bring the mindset learned in yoga to daily life. No previous yoga experience required, but the student should be interested in improving abilities. You may join this class at any time. Please phone ahead to be sure there is an open space, and plan on arriving a few minutes early for basic instruction before your first class.
