Our traditional yoga method  is primarily inspired and influenced by Ashtanga Yoga (vinyasa) and Iyengar Yoga (alignment).

Our Yoga School is non-dogmatic, focuses on cultivating a long, healthy and happy yoga practice for practitioners of all levels. 

With focus on both alignment, and  intelligent, creative yoga sequences. 

For a better background on our school, see what our students have to say, we invite you to read our many testimonials on Yoga Alliance. 

It is our perspective that yoga is a practice of balance and equanimity.  

Yoga happens both on and off the mat. 

Through our training we create greater awareness for everyday life by cultivating the many tools of yoga. 

Standing on the shoulders of the past, we respect yoga tradition and history and yet we are open to new discoveries and evolution : knowing that the practice of yoga is ever evolving and growing. 

We honor each student where they are at for yoga is a practice of radical acceptance.
