Welcome, yogis! This is a beginner-level drop-in yoga class that includes a seated warm-up, then moves to a gentle standing yoga series before a cool-down with deep stretching. Each week follows the same class format, making it easy to follow along from one week to the next. Modifications will be offered for students to explore range of motion, balance, and personal preference in poses. Students are welcome to join the class just once, or make a weekly yoga habit. Instruction is intended for beginner-level students, and all levels are welcome.

Drop-in Approach
Due to the nature of this drop-in course, every session is beginner-level. Students do not need to attend any particular week in order to be ready for another week’s class.

No Yoga Experience or Props Required
New to yoga? Welcome! This course is designed to welcome yogis of all levels, whether you've never reached for the sky before or can easily wrap your arms around your ankles.
Don't have yoga props? That's okay! We'll learn to modify poses to fit each individual’s range of motion. You do not even need a yoga mat to begin a healthy practice. In fact, I'll often practice and demonstrate poses without a mat to show students that you can do yoga with absolutely no props at all.

Focus on Form, Not Sweat
This is not meant to be a workout class that concentrates on breaking a sweat or counting calories. Rather, this is a safe space to learn and explore yoga poses and build a strong foundational practice. Our goals focus on personal understanding, acceptance of our bodies, and calm movement.

Regular Practice Offered Weekly
This drop-in class meets at the same time weekly to encourage yogis in establishing a regular yoga/movement routine. Students will be muted during practice and are invited to use the chat feature to ask questions of the instructor, otherwise keeping the practice space quiet of background noise while the instructor verbally guides yogis through poses and modifications. I will demonstrate every pose and modification for students and will repeat any pose requested to further guide students. Regular rest and reflection are built into each session, giving students ample opportunity to ask questions and share their experiences with fellow yogis.

English Instruction with Sanskrit Vocabulary
Class is taught entirely in English with occasional Sanskrit vocabulary introduced for common yoga poses. This way, students will feel comfortable and prepared to take more advanced yoga courses in the future.
