ISHTA Yoga encourages students to develop a practice suited to their own needs, always emphasizing correct and safe alignment. Our classes offer a relaxing, judgment-free atmosphere wherein each student can move at his or her own pace.

Vinyasa, the linking of breath to movement, is a fundamental aspect of our teaching and classes end with meditation practice. Each class is 75 minutes in duration.

In addition to daily studio classes, private instruction may be arranged from our instructors, either at our studio or your place. If your company is interested in having yoga classes taught on-site, please contact us to make arrangements.

The purpose of this program is to introduce power and flexibility into your practice. We will practice advanced poses in this course. We will cover Kapalabhati and Treta Bandha (triple lock) in meditation.

Meditation

Learn to how breath more fully and increase concentration.

Our focus is not body movement. Stretch your body, get comfortable, and regulate your breath to focus. Using more support props, you will meditate longer than usual classes.

You might have noticed doing yoga with others has a different energy compared to doing it alone. Similarly, meditation with others may be a new experience for you.
If you have time and wish to get some exercise afterwards, please participate in the next class as well.
